Twain took a sabbatical and returned to her Swiss home for some down time with her husband. The next summer, she and Lange welcomed their first child. A son, whom they named Eja, arrived August 21, 2001. During this time, Twain brainstormed for a fourth album. While balancing a domestic life and a career, the end result was Up!, which appeared in November 2002. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide', 'Emerging in the mid-\'90s, Shania Twain became the most popular country music artist since Garth Brooks.

Emerging in the mid'90s, Shania Twain (pronounced shuNYEuh) became the most popular country music artist since Garth Brooks. Skillfully fusing mainstream, AOR rock production with countrypop, Twain and her producer/husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange created a commercial juggernaut with her second album, The Woman in Me. The record became a multiplatinum phenomenon, peaking at number five on the pop charts and eventually selling over nine million copies in America alone.

Born Eileen Edwards on August 28, 1965 in Canada, Twain was raised by her mother and step-father in Timmins, Ontario. Being one of five children, Twain found solitude in her guitar and music. Starting at 8 years old, Twain was pulled out of bed at night to sing with the house band at a local club. After loosing her parents in a car accident at 21 and raising her younger siblings, Twain decided to work on her music and head to Nashville. She released her self-titled debut album in 1993 and has been making hits like "Any Man of Mine" ever since. Don't pass up the opportunity to get tickets to see Shania Twain in concert.

Eric Silver played fiddle and mandolin on Shania Twain's first live tour, when she was supporting her first Mercury Nashville album, produced by label head Harold Shedd. It was a strictly country affair, riding a Silver Eagle tour bus from city to city, opening for larger artists. He remembers the experience fondly, as much for its ongoing practical jokes as for the music. The next time Silver worked with Twain, it was on her sophomore album, Come On Over.
