Up [SACD] - Shania Twain

Advantages: Two for One, Catchy Tunes
Disadvantages: None

...From the moment Shania Twain made her way onto the radio, I have been a big fan, and her album, Up! has not disappointed me. It all starts with the album cover and her sassy, playful, photo. Its very simple, yet striking. I can't say that any song on this album is an instant classic, however, it is filled with incredible melodies, lyrics, and emotion. The first track is "Up!" This song sets the tone for the rest of the album with it's energy, and as the lyrics suggest....."There's nowhere but up from here." "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" is a song that shows her sassy side. A demonstration of woman power. "Don't want you for the weekend. Don't want you for a night. I'm only interested, if I can have you for life."......My thoughts exactly!

...When Shania first arrived in Nashville she ran into alot of problems. First of all, Shania is a writer and her record company wouldn't let her write her own songs, second of all, Shania appeared to be to opinionated for Nashvilles taste.

...Shania Twain endured much hardship as a child. She had her first musical experience when she was just 8 years old, her mother would wake her up in the middle of the night and take her to sing in bars when they stopped serving alcohol. Shania's mother suffered from depression, her nor her husband had enough money to feed their children proparly so Shania often found herself going to school with mustard sandwiches for lunch. Shania's parents died in a vicious car crash when she was just 21 years old, leaving her to take up the parental role in her household and provide for her 3 younger siblings. This bad luck would detare anyone from their ambitions, but not Shania, to support her family Shania sold their home and moved to the Deerhurst Resort where she performed as an on stage artist. When her 2 youngest sibling were old enough to move... Read review
