Canadians are going to dominate this week’s female country singers, for there are at least three to come (guess the other two).
The first is Shania Twain (b. 1965 in Windsor, Ontario), and, of course, still immensely popular. This song, “You’re still the one,” won two Grammies in 1995: best country song and best country vocal performance. It was written by Twain and Mutt Lange. It was supposedly written to dispel rumors about her dissolving marriage to Lange; sadly, they divorced anyway—ten years after the song came out.
How ’bout some Swedish Country!
I’ll raise you a Gjallarhorn!
Sounds more folk than country…

It is folk, granted.
Still, I love this band…
Well, do remember that it won Grammys for country song and country vocal performance!
Sorry Jerry, I was talking about my Gjallahorn Video.
I should have been clearer (a problem I often have online).
Too much steel guitar and a touch of yodel for folk! Willy could sing on this one and it’d fit well. (talking about Swede Vid #1)
Nice voices. Thanks for posting.
What about Norwegian? Bjøro Håland… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VwfGmsb93g
Lets go there. I raise you Rednex
Are there many Joshua tress in Sweden?

*trees
lol no. They went to that spot in California to film the video.
Really? 😉
I’ve been there myself. We have a beautiful Joshua tree ornament made entirely of copper wire on our mantelpiece as a souvenir. Although I actually found the (?) teddy-bear cacti more interesting.

Coming up: kd lang?
That don’t impress [uh] me much…

Better than being Brad Pitt.
She’s got a great voice, and is also face-meltingly beautiful.
“face-meltingly” & “beautiful” – interesting combination!
It’s okay to talk about Shania but please no Celine Dione. That would be the end of us all.
Jerry, if you ever travel into Northern Ontario, you can take in the Shania Twain museum in Timmons. It’s right beside the Hollanger Gold Mine museum, which is brillant. You get to go down the shafts and see how they processed the gold.
What where we talking about?
Timmins, and Hollinger….
“sadly, they divorced anyway”
as if divorce is always a bad thing…
Country music: The final proof that there is no god…
Pretty song.
I have to admit it I’ve sung it loudly (and badly) in my car more than once.
Also one of my wife’s favourite songs. I hope she’s thinking about me… 😮

She has beautiful low tones to her voice and she is gorgeous!
So you’re Brad Friedel? I’m mildly impressed.
So you’re William Pitt? Elder or younger?
Not Canadian, but Gillian Welch is fantastic. And David Rawlins is an awesome guitarist.
