She pulled a Mutt and married a Thiébaud.

Shania & Fred Are Married- Shania Twain Weds Frederic Thiebaud on January 1, 2011 in Puerto Rico - YouTube

What does her marital status have to do with her career?

She's a singer. Look at her newest tunes.

Heartache and new love is a prime motivator for singers.

She's back and strongly relevant again.

Sweet.

Maybe for songwriters. She just sings, IINM.

I've always felt she was marginally talented. Which gives her a leg up on a lot of her contemporaries in modern country music.

kd lang

Her voice takes me away; there are some notes she hits in Constant Crazy reduces me to tears.

Neil Young?...

... Southern Man don't need him around anyhow...

... yea.

Cinnamon Girl when he was with Crazy Horse. I'll never forgive him for Southern Man but he's put out some awesome tunes.

 

[tinydancer]

I don't think Syns done it yet so I'll jump in.

Gino Vanelli baby. He rocked "dance music". Boy I hope that makes sense. When everyone else took dance/disco to pathetic levels, Gino jacked it up a notch.

I was a major heavy metal chick and I loved Gino. You gotta move. You gotta groove. His vocal range is to die for.

There is nothing wrong with 'Southern Man'.

Musically I agree. Politically, and as a Canadian, I don't.

Many Canadians think that there's something wrong with a Canadian doing protest songs about the US.

That's the prevailing view of the older Canadians who were around when this song came out.

My thought?

That would have been one hell of a Dylan tune.

 

[Synthaholic]

This is so fucking badass!

Toronto with "your daddy don't know". Kick it up. Great chick band.

One of my favorites out of the days when I was living on Isabella I used to go to gay bars to be safe. Toronto and Pope were way ahead of their time. LGBT persons. I know that is going to at first sound strange, but single white female wanting to go dancing safely......

No one ever hit on me. See my logic? It worked. And the guys were my best of friends. I always came home alone.

Best TO band. Man it's hard to choose. Carol Pope/ High School confidential. Toronto.

Province wide. Helix. Triumph for sure. Thou we still have an ongoing battle over Quebec and Ontario.

Never ever forget the tragically hip though.....

Me without my walker? What a lot of people don't remember is Wallace was running in that election in 2008 and that's the heart of the song.

I've slagged Niel from here to eternity because he never gave up that part of his tune.

Oh people, the album came out in 1970 but the song was written a couple of years earlier. .

This is likely my favorite k.d. lang tune

k.d. lang - Constant Craving

K.D. Lang - Constant Craving - YouTube

What a great layering of the vocal tracks.

She kills me. There are few and far beyond that nail me to the wall but kd is in my top ten.

There just is no comparison, vocally:

Only the U.S.?

Would it have been inappropriate for Canadians to do protest songs about South African apartheid?

What about Korean slavery at the hands of the Japanese?

What about Israeli treatment of the Palestinians?

All off-limits?

Down by the river, I shot my baby, down by the river, dead, I shot her dead....

Neil was always such a pacifist.....
