In 1987, at age 21, Twain lost her parents in an automobile accident. She took on the responsibility of raising her three younger siblings. She managed to keep the household going with a job at Ontario's Deerhurst Resort, which not only provided for her new family responsibilities but ... gave her an education in every aspect of theatrical performance, from musical comedy to Andrew Lloyd Webber to Gershwin. Three years later, with her brothers grown enough to take care of themselves, Twain was on her own. Shedding her real name, Eilleen, she adopted the Ojibway name of Shania, meaning "I'm on my way." Twain recorded a demo tape of original music and set her sights on Nashville.

It was stated in a recent interview that Shania recorded her part of the Anne Murray duet in New Zealand. However according to the CD insert, the track was recorded in Switzerland. Mutt produced the recording, and Olle Bengt Romo was the engineer.

Two years later, Shania went on to shatter more records with the release of her third album, Come on Over, selling 34 million albums worldwide. Come on Over became the best-selling album by a female solo artist and the best-selling country album of all time.

On previous records, Twain and Lange took with them enough elements of country music to enable her to allow the country music establishment to maintain the impression that she's still one of their own. Twain's latest, Up!... dispenses with compromise and comes in three distinct flavours: the so-called 'red' disc, containing the pop/rock versions of the album's 19 tracks; the 'green' disc, with softened versions laden with acoustic guitars, fiddles and pedal steel; and the world music version, with which Twain aims to conquer south-east Asia, the subcontinent and other terra incognita.
