Joy - A Holiday Collection
: :Jewel has concocted an intriguing and at times beautifully inspired holiday album, playing it straight with a big orchestra and backing voices for the first half of the record with standards such as 'Joy to the World,' 'Winter Wonderland,' 'Silent Night,' as well as a lovely rendition of 'Ave Maria.' Things finally get sparkling in the last half where Jewel does a low-key, kid version of 'Rudolph' and sings her own compositions. Her moving 'Face of Love' and 'Hands' are certain to become holiday standards, capable of being sung in a country, pop, ...

This Way
: :It's easy to see that Jewel wants to lighten up. With two previous multimillion-selling albums (and a couple of much-scorned but popular books) filled with earnest, clueless revelations behind her, the singer-songwriter comes a little closer to ground with This Way. 'Give it hell 'til the end,' a former compatriot urges her on 'Till We Run Out of Road,' her version of Jackson Browne's 'The Load Out.' Could that be a hard-bitten road warrior deep inside the woman who makes a point of pronouncing the O's in the opening line ('Mirror, mirror') of ...

Spirit
: :It's time for an update of our image of Jewel, the ingenue who set the music world on fire with her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You. After all, that effort consisted primarily of songs Jewel had written several years before, some of them dating back to her days as a free- spirited waif living in a van on the beach in San Diego. Now, at 25, she's become a sort of guru for self-expression and full disclosure, revealing perhaps too much of herself in see-through dresses worn to awards shows and a ...

Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
:Album Description:Jewel is about to deliver her most personal and autobiographical record so far-Goodbye Alice in Wonderland. Not content to relegate herself to a traditional music arena, or to be typecast, Jewel has established herself as a culturally significant and relevant brand. Author, songwriter, actress, poet-there are no limits to how Jewel can and will deliver her message. The underlining truth that ties it all together is the integrity of that message. :The word 'confessional' is frequently applied to folk of all stripes, including folk-rock and folk-pop, which is where Jewel comes in. ...
