In a brand-new episode of “Björn from ABBA and Friends” on Apple Music Hits, Shania Twain joins ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus to discuss her musical influences.
One of her musical influences is Dolly Parton.
“For me, Dolly Parton was always a fabulous storyteller, a fabulous songwriter, melodically always very, very, I thought, very unique,” said Twain. “I mean, a song like “Jolene” is very not typically a country chord progression.”
“She also really put together a hybrid style of mountain music with banjo, more bluegrass style, and folk. Now that I’m older, I look back and think I’m proud of her as a woman that she was such a stylist at the time, as well as a songwriter and an artist, very much a stylist.”
