Used CD in EXCELLENT playing condition!!! No Skips, No Freeze ups!!! No Scratches, No Scuff Marks!!! CD and all artwork included. CD in Excellent Like New condition. Jewel's debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special
voice--strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky
choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present
trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a
young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her
own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common
with, say, the Indigo Girls or Lisa Loeb than with Judy Collins or Nanci
Griffith. Despite her soft soprano and pretty melodies, her songs have
an iconoclastic edge which make her more of an unplugged alternative
rocker than a folkie. Her songs too often betray their origins as
written verse in their hard-to-sing meters, unmusical phrasing, and
diary-like pronouncements. Nonetheless, a few numbers, such as "Morning
Song" and "You Were Meant for Me," show a spark of humor about romance,
and hint that Jewel may yet write songs worthy of her remarkable voice.

Jewel Biography
Jewel is the US-born singer songwriter and actress best known for her
folk-pop hit “You Were Meant for Me”.
All-American folk-pop
princess Jewel (born Jewel Kilcher) came to prominence in the mid to
late nineties after being discovered singing in a coffee house by an
Atlantic Records executive. The debut album Pieces of You
(1995) eventually sold more than 12 million copies worldwide and spawned
the hit singles "Who Will Save Your Soul", "You Were Meant for Me", and
"Foolish Games", which also featured in the 1997 film Batman &
Robin, starring George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell.
Her
second album Spirit (1998) produced three singles -- "Hands",
"Down So Long" and a new version of "Jupiter" -- however it didn't
manage to equal the success of her debut. In 1999 Jewel made her big
screen debut in the film from Ang Lee Ride with the Devil, also
starring Tobey Maguire and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. In 2001 Jewel
released her third album This Way, which peaked at No.9 in the
US charts without the aid of singles.
In 2003 Jewel moved away
from her folk-pop sound and released a dance album. 0304 was
her highest debuting album to date, reaching No.2 in its first week of
release, and it spawned two hit singles too, "Intuition" and "2 Become
1". In 2006 she released her last studio album with Atlantic Records, Goodbye
Alice in Wonderland. The release showed a return to Jewel's roots
after the dance-pop of her previous album, but it suffered from sluggish
sales.
The now label-less Jewel has recently said she would like
her next offering to be a country album.
