Rolling Stone Nashville Now

Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast goes on the road this week for a very special episode with the legendary Shania Twain. Surrounded by memorabilia from throughout her career, the country music trendsetter welcomes us to her Las Vegas property for a wide-ranging conversation. Twain talks about connecting the dots between Shania the superstar and the young girl who sang in motel bars in her native Canada on her new album Little Miss Twain. She also opens up about putting her singing career on hold to become a caregiver for her siblings following the tragic death of her parents, being embraced by an LGBTQ audience, and why she thinks men like singing along to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” Twain shares what she sees in the success of Ella Langley too. It’s a conversation with one of country music’s most important artists.

In a bold new interview with Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, the husband-and-wife duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter open up about playing the mainstream country game — and why they would advise other artists against it. They also talk about the Adult Contemporary vibes of their new album The Story of Michael and Tanya, what it felt like to be snubbed at this year’s ACM Awards, and why Michael’s military service stands out in a community where patriotism is a buzz word.
