About Jewel
In 1997, all the critical accolades may have gone to Beck, but the
real pop success story of that year belonged to a 21-year-old woman
named Jewel Kilcher. Raised in Homer, Alaska, where she grew up in
what might best be described as an alternative "hippie" environment
(her parents, in fact, were a folk music duo before they divorced),
Jewel began performing at the age of eight. She seemed to have a
natural ability for music, and she later learned to play guitar while
on scholarship at the prestigious Interlochen Music Academy in
Michigan.
Kilcher eventually ended up in San Diego where, following a series of
dead-end jobs and living in poverty--for a time, out of her car--she
decided to pursue music full-time. She developed a large following
while playing at that city's Interchange Coffeehouse, where she was
signed by Atlantic Records.
The result was Jewel's folk-pop debut LP Pieces of You, some of which
was recorded at the San Diego coffeehouse. The album took a
surprisingly long time to break through--it was originally released in
early '95--but Jewel kept her profile up through constant performances
(including an oddly mismatched opening slot on Bauhaus front man Peter
Murphy's tour, the role of Dorothy in a musical Wizard Of Oz
production that co-starred Natalie Cole, Jackson Browne and Roger
Daltrey, and countless acoustic shows at coffeehouses across the
U.S.). However, Pieces of You eventually spawned three MASSIVE hit
singles ("Who Will Save Your Soul," "You Were Meant For Me" and
"Foolish Games") and remained in the Billboard 200 for an astounding
two years.

Originally dismissed--especially after a pre-stardom relationship
with Sean Penn (who directed a never-aired early video for "You Were
Meant for Me") was revealed--Jewel has actually worked very hard to
get where she is. (Plus, she's awfully beautiful to boot.) Jewel may
be the first true bona fide star of the new "folk" music, and with her
long-awaited sophomore album Spirit--her first release in three years,
unless you count the spoken-word audio version of her poetry book A
Night Without Armor--it's likely she'll hold on to that title. Yet
Spirit, which features the co-production of Madonna collaborator
Patrick Leonard and such guest stars as Josh Clayton-Felt, Jude Cole
and Red Hot Chili Pepper Flea, may help the singer once best known for
her yodeling reach new listeners with a darker, edgier sound, as
evidenced on the album's first single, "Hands."
Jewel returned in November 2001 with This Way, an album that was
looser and more upbeat than the darker strains of Spirit, buoyed by
the hit single "Standing Still." Prior to recording This Way, the
singer-songwriter spent time with her boyfriend, champion bull rider
Ty Murray, who co-wrote the album's "'Til We Run Out Of Road." But the
time spent with Murray at the ranch proved to be dangerous. In April
2002 Jewel was thrown from a horse at Murray's ranch in Texas. The
singer broke her collarbone and a rib in the accident. The mishap
forced Jewel to postpone some European concert dates, and when the
tour resumed, she had to hand over any guitar-playing duties to her
band, since she was still recovering from her injuries.
By August 2002, however, Jewel had recovered enough to launch a solo
tour through the Western U.S. in the final push behind This Way. While
on tour, Jewel began writing songs for her next album.
Released in June 2003, O3O4 marked a departure from Jewel's folk-rock
roots. The album's first single, "Intuition," had her trading in
acoustic guitars for dance beats and a video that showed Jewel
strutting her stuff like teen-pop sex kittens Britney Spears and
Christina Aguilera. While the "simple girl in a high-tech digital
world" may have been spoofing the mass marketing of pop stars, sex,
and consumer goods in the clip, the message may have been lost of some
of her fans. Nonetheless, Jewel was confident that her "fun" album
would comfort fans in these troubled times.
