Wishing
I alway's had a problem with this CD, some songs released on this cd are different versions than the song's played on the radio ( the radio versions are better).


14 years and still my favorite...
Her haunting voice, the simplicity in the music. This is truly Jewel at her best and most honest.

I celebrate Jewel's music most because she writes ALL of her own work. She truly is a musician. . . one of the few surviving.


Unmatched Debut
I have this CD over 10yrs now and have just starting listening to it again. Jewel is without doubt one of my favourite artists alive today. It brought back all of the feelings that I got from the first time I listened to it. There is somthing pure and naive about this album, but the lyrical content and beautiful melodies defy that fact that she was only 16yrs old (i think!), when she recorded it. Tracks such as 'You Were Meant for Me', 'Pieces of You' and the beautiful 'Foolish Games' do stand the test of time and are heart rendering. Classic debut, unmatched in it's entirity by anything she has written or recorded since. Thoroughly Recommended. . I don't give 5-Star ratings easily. . Enjoy.


Crossover Country
Her material here is incredibly simple, not even basic folk music. The artist Jewel is really a country- pop crossover, sent in several years after its actual 19994 release to clean up MTV and be the main American-Euro rock star. A following release This Way just defined country, but this here is the major label debut. I like it, not love it, This Way is much better, it just defined country. .


Great songwriter, serious musician


She Brings a fresh, easy sound that has a light acoustic instrumental drive, allowing the lyrics to stand out and be appreciated. Getting away from the typical "diva" category that many female vocalists are limited to, Jewel is a serious musician, singer, song-writer, and shows a depth to her style that indicates serious study of her craft. Not beautiful, happy songs, but songs with soul. Jewel's vocal style shows influence from diverse artists such as Joni Mitchel and Bob Dylan. .
