Dangerous
Some of that is to be expected however, for one talks of 'Spirit' one can fall into that snare. This is the only Jewel CD that borders dangerously on corny. The vocals are, as usual, impressive and the lyrics are smooth, deep, and thought provoking for the most part. There are a few exceptions however. You might blandly say 'What?' after certain lyrics and tell yourself you must have heard her wrong. I wasn't very into this one at first, but it has become one of my faves. I give her five stars because I love her and because she went with her musical intuition. Even if we don't always get it, she's being honest and that's all that can be asked or expected from an artist. Rock on Jewel.


A Rare Jewel
Nobody can do what she does, nobody. This is a full album of perfection by the very most Talented singer around today. What other artist today can stand alone on stage with her guitar and magical voices and keep a crowd enthralled for hours? Do not hesitate, buy this album then drift into Jewel's wonderful world. .


Folk rock album with plenty of jewel n guitar
I was very curious about the chick with a guitar doing her solo gig. I first heard of Jewel from the MTV unplugged at late night. I've to admit that I didn't like her music at first in the Unplugged. Later when this album 'Spirit' released. I got her CD and I loved it. The full band tracks is ex. Hands, Down so Long . . . are incredible. Acoustic sound is crisp, kick drum really kicks. The quality of sound back then 10 years ago is even better than some of her records to date.

I watched her performed 'Jupiter' on Letterman. Her band played a totally different version of the song. I still can't seem to find that newer version of the song anywhere. Anyways, it's a nice song. Love it.

If you don't know Jewel and wish to get to know her music, I'd recommend this album to you. It has a bit of rock edge to it. .


SPIRITual
Jewel did it again with "Hands" and "Down So Long. This is a collection of spiritual soft pop music. " Jewel can sing in s little girls voice and in a baritone/tenor voice as well which helps make her so talented. If you like pop music and religious references, then this album is for you. .


Great Jewel Cd
Jewel makes great CDs. This CD delivers. . . her first CD is the best, but this one is a close second. With tracks like Hands, Down So Long, and Deep Water, Jewel is timeless. . . . the first 9 tracks are the best. Great purchase.
