Product Description: It comes as no surprise that Jewel, an acclaimed American singer, songwriter, actress, poet, painter, philanthropist and daughter to an Alaskan cowboy singer-songwriter, finds herself in the embrace of country music for the release of her seventh career album, Perfectly Clear. Nashville Connections Jewel's personal odyssey, partly chronicled on one of the best selling debut albums of all time, the twelve-time platinum Pieces of You, comes full circle with her forthcoming country album, Perfectly Clear, the debut release on newly launched Nashville-based independent label The Valory Music Co. Jewel is set apart her whole career for not only singing, but writing all her songs, and this album is no exception. "I've been writing country songs my whole career; some of the songs on this record date back to when I was 18 years old. I've been hanging on to them until now. They were meant for a record like this one." The record's first single "Stronger Woman" is a powerful and positive message that resonates with women of any age. Perfectly Clear is produced by Jewel and John Rich of Big and Rich fame. "Jewel is probably one of the greatest American singer-songwriters we have. It is such an honor to work with anyone of that caliber of talent," Rich says. Jewel has spent a lot of time in Nashville over the last few years, and has naturally been drawn to and accepted by the Nashville music community. "If I were discovered today, there is no doubt that I would be signed as a country artist. Songs like "You Were Meant For Me" would have been a country hit today, and not a pop hit as it was in the 90s. The genres have changed more than I feel I have," says Jewel.

Customer Reviews
songs you continue to hum to yourself
Very impressive, makes you jolt up the volume to hear the good words and background country instruments like the ukulele and banjo. The words are great and my favourites are Stronger Woman, Rosey and Mick, and Everything Reminds Me of You. Anyone But You is a very moving song; imagine yourself in a small-town country bar dancing to this slow ballad about a lover you still have a strong longing for. Enjoy.

not feeling it
I have always been a fan of Jewel's but I am really having a hard time with this CD. I just don't "feel" it. I think there are only 3 songs I kinda like on the CD. I usually feel confident buying her music but after this I will definetly be listening to samples beforehand from now on...

Another Example of the BRILLIANCE of Jewel
In "Perfectly Clear", Jewel returns with another great album full of great songs with brilliant lyrics. Jewel is an artist who puts extreme ammounts of thought into what she sings, and you can definitely hear the passion in her voice. In "Perfectly Clear", Jewel looks to her country roots for inspiration, and comes out with a quality melding of country instrumentation and feel and Jewel's signature flourish with lyrics. I loved all of the songs on this album, but a few stand out: "Stronger Woman", "I Do", "'Till It Feels Like Cheating", and the album's title song. I loved this album in every way, and so will you!!!

Clarity!! An Improvement
Well, the melodies on Jewel's songs are always catchy, albeit OH so predictable. But what puts them over the top are usually the lyrics. She is in many ways the original John Mayer (or at least a more feminine version of him, assuming such a thing is possible), she tried to emulate Ricki Lee Jones early in her career and sometimes came up short. But like Mayer (to whom also the lyrics "habba labba dabba dadda doddley dip dap day" actually constitutes the bridge of a song) she has managed to find her niche. She is talented, yes, and so is Mayer, and although the majority of their music is dreck, occasionally there are moments of artistic brilliance among the mess that their full-length records tend to be. "Perfecly Clear" has a few more of those moments. Ricki Lee Jones she is not, but settling into a career that fits alongside the Norah Joneses of the world suits her quite nicely.
