Jewel (Official Thread)

Re: "The Official" Jewel Thread

Thanks for visiting my thread Cosmic! It was getting dusty! Seriously some threads are givens fir responses and some are "It'd be cool if anyone remembers this artist still, still considers them relevant, etc." so it's extra cool I have at least two Jewel fans here. She used to be in the very tippy top hemisphere of artist for me and I think my peak was a live VH1 special where she unleashed a number of none album songs and even performed songs with her family (you can hear the jazzed up version of "Rudolph...." with her Mom on radio still during the season)! It was such a natural experience and she seemed like she a had a thousand more gems up her sleeve and in one coffee break could have three more. A Natural writer as well! I even bought her poetry book:

A Night Without Armor


It was rough, sometimes corny but always authentic like her music. I do have one headache in my collectors quandary. I'm a completist with all her albums, even the Christmas one, but do you guys think even a completist could buy this for an artists vocal :

Lullaby


Is it wrong that I see the cover of a Fisher Price album and still think "Damn! That's one hot Momma!"?

Ah the 90's and Jewel. I love her first two albums not much since. The first album reminds me of my girlfriend at the time, we listen to the album over and over either going on a joy ride or just lying around in bed. Such a sweet album.

The first was definitely her best but I loved how each album she progressed into something different. She's a brave artist IMO!

O.K., well my friend has been picking on me trying to get me to buy this since it came out and saying I'm not a true Jewel fan unless I added it too my collection. He's had a like/hate relationship with jewel himself due to the hokier stuff like these tracks:



So anyway, I couldn't bring myself to buy a baby c.d. even considering I bought her Christmas album. Lo and behold, today we were shopping and found the album at Target for 5 bucks today and he actually picked up a copy for himself because he thought it'd be hilarious. We do both have an affliction for laughing at things that are unintentionally bad. Anyway, I broke down and bought it myself. You know what, it wasn't campy at all. We listened to a good portion of it to cap off the trip and he was like "Shit, this isn't even bad. It's a little boring but not bad!" He didn't open his copy so he'll likely return it but **** it, Jewels a GREat singer and I'm glad I eneded up buying it. Her singing on these dreamy tracks is beautiful and I can enjoy this in doses. I like this track in particular:

Forever and a Day (Always)


Oh, and once again! What a MILF!!!!!!

Maybe it's just me but I liked "The Cold Song" more than "Forever and a Day (Always)". Like Priest said, it was cute.
