Twang-and-Bang

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

Terri Clark's latest studio release, the earthy "Pain to Kill," is full of 
twang 'n' bang.
--NEW YORK POST, 14 January 2003, pg. 54.
  
   Like "rock 'n' roll," only countrified.
   It's been said of Shania Twain and Faith Hill, and now of Terri Clark.  
Can a guy "twang-and-bang"?
   There aren't a whole lot of hits just yet, but this is from Google Groups:

The print of the copy of the Shania article is kind of small.Here's what the 
whole thing says:THE HOOK In praise of the tortoise: While Eminem was 
spouting off about hismother and Britney was writhing with serpents, the 
top-knotted and flat-tummied queen of country-pop crossover has been quietly 
shoring up her strength as a commercial colossus. Shania’s last album, 1997’
s Come On Over, has sold 19 million copies in the U.S. alone, tying it for 
the sixth hugest album inAmerican music history. Still for the past two years 
or so, fans haven’theard a peep; In 1999 Twain and her husband/producer, the 
reclusive power-riff warlock Robert John “Mutt” Lange, moved to a chateau in 
Switzerland (yes,Switzerland), where they had a baby (son Eja) and tinkered 
away at their next twang-and-bang manifesto.
