It's all downhill from here

This is definatley a good album. The only one worth owning by Jewel in my opinion...I loved her when she debuted, but the rest of her albums stink. What a sellout.

Raw, Driving Talent

I have owned this CD since it was released several years ago. This is an excellent example of how powerful a minimalistic style of music can be. Jewel's debut CD ranks up there with the works of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan's,matching their drive and angst that allows them to create music that is a pure art form.



I was sorry to see Jewel become more pop with her following releases. I wish she would have followed more in the direction she was trying to go in in "Pieces of You." Her simple style music accompanied with her enchanting voice was a delight to the ears, as well as the soul. Her songs, like Tori Amos's touched on many different important subjects such as poverty, abuse, friendships, drug abuse, prejudice, love, and death.



This CD belongs in any collection of people who enjoy poetic lyrics with a strong message and a purist style of music. Jewel wrote all these songs herself and this album was recorded in a coffee shop in California. It has depth and loads of talent. I just love how simplistic music meshes so well with her breathy vocals and strong lyrics. This CD gets Five stars from me. It is excellent!

Jewel's debut album change the prespective of an industry that didn't believe in a simple album without all the strong polished overproduced beats. Very confesional and deep meaningful lyrics.
