Shania Twain on Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah”…
“I mean, this is one of the all time classics of ever and ever and ever, the original by Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah. So we’re going to hear Jeff Buckley do his version of the song. And this cover is so gorgeous. Jeff unfortunately died way too young, 1997, before he could see the full reception of this recording. But I think it’s safe to say that it’s loved by millions all over the world. We miss your Jeff Buckley.”
Shania Twain on Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”…
“Now we can never get enough of this next song. We all love, and I’ve re-fallen in love with this song, Jolene. Now I grew up to this song. It’s an oldie, but a goodie.”
Shania Twain on Aretha Franklin’s “Eleanor Rigby”…
“Eleanor Rigby done by Aretha Franklin, that really twists my brain in a good way. We all love Aretha Franklin and the Beatles, and Eleanor Rigby is a classic, no matter who records it.”
