Jerry adopted the girls and changed their surname to Twain; when Mark was a toddler and Sharon adopted Jerry's baby nephew Darryl when his mother died. Because of Twain's connection to Jerry, the media have incorrectly reported that she is of Ojibwe descent; when questioned as to why she chose not to publicly acknowledge Edwards as her father for years, Twain stated: My father went out of his way to raise three daughters that weren't his.

For me to acknowledge another man as my father, a man, never there for me as a father, who wasn't the one who struggled everyday to put food on our table, would have hurt him terribly. We were a family. Step-father, step-brothers, we never used that vocabulary in our home. To have referred to him as my step-father would have been the worst slap across the face to him. Shania holds a status card and is on the official band membership list of the Temagami First Nation. In 1991, the singer was offered a recording contract in Nashville and applied for immigration status into the United States. At that time, by virtue of her stepfather Jerry Twain being a full-blooded Ojibwe and the rights guaranteed to Native Americans in the Jay Treaty, Shania became registered as having 50 percent Native American blood. Twain has said that as a child she was told by her mother that her biological father was part Cree, a claim his family denies, her confirmed ancestry includes English and Irish. Through a maternal great-grandmother, she is a descendant of French carpenter Zacharie Cloutier.

Her Irish maternal grandmother, Eileen Pearce, emigrated from County Kildare. Twain has said, her parents earned little money and food was scarce in their household. Twain did not confide her situation to school authorities, her mother and stepfather's marriage was stormy at times, from a young age she witnessed violence between them. Her mother struggled with bouts of depression. In mid-1979, while Jerry was at work, at Twain's insistence, her mother drove the rest of the family 420 miles south to a Toronto homeless shelter for assistance. Sharon returned to Jerry with the children in 1981. In Timmins, Twain started singing at bars at the age of eight to try to help pay her family's bills. Although she expressed a dislike for singing in those bars, Twain believes that this was her own kind of performing-arts school on the road, she has said of the ordeal, "My deepest passion was music and it helped. There were moments when I thought,'I hate this.' I hated being with drunks. But I loved the music and so I survived."

Twain wrote her first songs at the age of 10, "Is Love a Rose" and "Just Like the Storybooks," which were rhyming fairy tales. She states that the art of creating, of actually

She Lyin' is the second studio album by American blues singer Skip James, recorded in 1964 and released in 1993. It was recorded for Takoma Records and was James' first recording since his rediscovery in 1964. After an early career of performing and recording for the Paramount label in the 1930s, James recorded nothing and drifted in and out of music unknown. In 1964, blues enthusiasts John Fahey, Bill Barth and Henry Vestine found him in a hospital in Tunica, Mississippi; the "rediscovery" of both James and of Son House at the same moment was the start of the "blues revival" in America. Fahey and his partner in Takoma Records, ED Denson, signed James to a recording contract. Along with Barth, they arranged for sessions with sound engineer Gene Rosenthal in Rosethal's basement studio in Silver Spring, Maryland. Due to legal issues concerning the rights to the songs, the recording was not released by Takoma and in 1971 Fahey sold the record to Rosenthal; the studio sessions are supplemented in this release with live performance recordings made by Rosenthal at the Ontario Place Coffee House in Washington, D.

C. during the same period. Although James was not covered as as other rediscovered musicians, the British rock band, Cream's version of "I'm So Glad" provided him the only windfall of his career. Cream based their version on James's simplified 1960s recording, instead of the faster, more intricate 1931 original. Deep Purple covered "I'm So Glad" on Shades of Deep Purple. In his review for Allmusic, Ron Wynn called the newly re-discovered James "still capable of playing entrancing, dynamic music, but was much less consistent and not as striking a vocalist" and the release in general "just as solid as the albums James recorded for Columbia during the same period."
