...track analysis if you wish. Up as an album is a real gem in my opinion. All of the tracks are Shania Twain originals and therefore are completely unique.

'Stop ...
...note. It is a very honest song about his life since he became a famous artist in Norway, and among others explains why he doesn't push himself to become more famous worldwide, as he doesn't want to lose time with his wife and 3 kids. I am not particularly, but if you are a country fan Kurt's duet with world famous country singer Willie Nelson will be a real treat, including the live bonus track. I also really enjoy the more upbeat 'Mother's Words' ...
