Shania Up for More Dates

Having taken a three-year break from touring following the monstrous success of 1999's Come on Over, Shania Twain has been back at it with a vengeance. The crossover country star released Up! a year ago and began a long string of North American dates in September that will wrap on December 20th in Las Vegas.

And the shows keep coming: Twain will break briefly for the holidays before kicking off a twenty-seven-date run on January 20th in Helsinki. Her second North American itinerary will begin on April 6th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and stretch thirty-seven dates into mid-June.

"I want this show to be a huge party," Twain said earlier this year. "The stage will be set up in a way that puts me in the middle of my fans, which is right where I want to be."

Song Stories

“Helen Wheels”

Paul McCartney | 1973

A rollicking good-time hard rocker, "Helen Wheels" was not about a woman but about Paul McCartney's Land Rover, the anthemic chorus voicing the vehicle's reckless joy as "she" took to the road. The song was added to the U.S. version of Band on the Run but was issued only as a single in McCartney's native U.K. "I like that because it's a British road song and there's not many of those around," said McCartney. "It's always Route 66. But Carlisle? How many songs have got Carlisle in them?"
