Avril has done country songs, when she was a child she was part of a country album called The Quinte Spirit and sang "Temple of Life", "Touch the sky" and "Two Rivers", also covered "You Were Mine" as a child. She can do it no question about it, she has a great voice! Check those songs out though, they are all great!

[@denisdemattos]

Avril has the country music background but her development as an artist and herself lead her to Pop Rock and Pop Punk which brought her much more recognition cause she can express herself much more freely. This song she recorded also when she was a teenager. In the country world she would probably feel stuck at the style and the kind of lyrics, and Avril likes to take risks and push herself to experiment new things. Thats how she made her name and become so authentic artist as we can see today. Her performance in ACM was an honor to her background and Shania was just thrilled to see how she can easily do it, it is so convincing. Avril is a true artist.
