Shania Twain

Shania Twain earned the 'Queen of Country Pop' title the hard way, and I respect her for it. Over 100 million records sold makes her the best-selling female artist in country history, but the number I care about is the cultural one: she tore down the wall between country and pop and made songs that reached ears far outside Nashville. Two Grammys in 1998 and an Order of Canada in 2005 are just the official footnotes. From small-town Windsor, Ontario, she built a sound that was both meticulous and joyfully accessible. That sheer, infectious brightness is what keeps me coming back to her records.
