THE WOMAN IN ME won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Country
Album. "Any Man Of Mine" was nominated for Grammys for Best Female
Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song. Shania Twain was
nominated for the Grammy for Best New Artist.
The low, sultry voice of Canadian Shania Twain serves her well on THE
WOMAN IN ME. This is a compact collection of middle-of-the-road
country, warped by the rock influence of Twain's producer/husband, Mutt
Lange.
Twain is not just a singer; she also co-wrote most of the songs with Lange,
and they run the gamut from soft ballad to reeling rock. The opening track is a
slow, slurry ballad that would be just as comfortable on the adult
contemporary charts as on the country charts, and is reminiscent of Bette
Midler's style of balladeering.
The single "Who's Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" is a bouncy shuffle
that could bring Twain to the forefront of country music. Her vocal is pure
country, straight from yesteryear, a matured Brenda Lee. But with thick,
rock-oriented production, there isn't much, besides Twain's twang, that labels
this album "country."

Following her smash hit THE WOMAN IN ME was no easy task for Shania
Twain and husband/producer Mutt Lange. With COME ON OVER the sexy
vixen of modern country has carved out a bigger niche for herself that is sure
to please her growing throng of fans. With a huge helping of rock and roll
added to her country trimmings, Twain proves her success has been no fluke.
As a rule, she goes out of her way to break the traditional Nashville mold.
Even her songwriting skills are at the forefront; Shania and Mutt co-wrote all
the songs on this collection.
Sounding like a disciple of Linda Ronstadt and Tina Turner with a dash of
Tanya Tucker, Twain launches into country-club rockers like "Man! I Feel
Like A Woman!," "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)," and "Rock
This Country!" with a fervor. A guest shot by singer Bryan White adds a
touch of drama to the powerful "From This Moment On." Top-40 flavored
tunes abound on the rest of the disc including "Love Gets Me Every Time," "If
You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!," and even the country-fied hip-hop of "Honey,
I'm Home." Finally, the acoustic ballad "You've Got A Way" adds a soft
touch to round out the set.
Album Review:
Rolling Stone (12/11/97, p.80) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Twain bombards you
with plastic hooks as tight as her trousers....songs are speedier and more
concise..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/14/97, pp.88-89) - "...deep down, these are all
country songs at heart, and that's precisely the way Twain treats them..."
- Rating: B+
