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.

5Worth the listen!  Sep 08, 2009
I'm gonna be honest and say that it's not up to par with "This Way", "Spirit", or even the immensly underappriciated "Goodbye Alice In Wonderland". But "Perfectly Clear" does offer us some extremly fine moments, Like the gorgeous "I Do", which is up there in the list of Jewel's best songs. All in all. this is an album that should definatly be listend to. It's Jewel. so you already know that it isn't gonna be bad.


My Top 5
1. I Do
2. Perfectly Clear
3. Everything Reminds Me Of You
4. Rosey & Mick
5. Loved By You (Cowboy Waltz)

listen to this album, the songs are truly beautiful!

I Love you Jewel

5A True Jem  May 21, 2009
Jewel's first country album really reminds me of her This Way album. Many articles I have found say her fans may have a hard time with her flipping genre's all the time. I think that if she were to realese her original album, Pieces of You, in our current time it would have been debut in the country genre anyways.
Song that is great, #10, Cowboy Waltz.

3They just don't make 'em like they used to...  Mar 13, 2009
I LOVE Jewel, this cd is a bit lacking. It's missing that fire and passion she had in her voice and lyrics in Pieces of You and Spirit. It's just sort of middle of the road Jewel, not so special.

4I Like It  Mar 03, 2009
I like Jewel's 2008 album, as hybrid of country and adult alt rock. Her genre defining This Way goes ever forward without gloating. Obviously they're selling this on the attactive looks of the siger almost now a deacade since she broke big on MTV in 1996 or 1997. Easy listening palatable country music rock hybrid. It's not boring either.

2So disappointing...  Feb 27, 2009
When I was a teenager, Jewel was my hero. Her heartfelt songs and odd melodies captured my imagination for three albums straight.
Three albums later, Perfectly Clear appears on the scene, and I was so excited to hear her country "departure".
Excited until I heard it, that is.
One low point, lyrically, was the song "Thump Thump". "I swear I hear the language of your heart, and it says Thump Thump..." Oh really? Do tell. Hearing common metaphors about love sung as if they were something profound also frustrated me, such as "Love is a garden" or "Love is a game until it's played" (I Do).
Probably the thing that made me move from disappointment to disgust was the song, "Till It Feels Like Cheating". I'm assuming from the rest of the lyrics that this is about a married couple who have been apart for awhile and are having a rendezvous in a hotel room somewhere. That sounds fine, except the main lyric, "Till it feels like cheating, till it feels that good." Yuck. Cheating feels good? Even if it did, it's still a gross lyric.
I've heard her sing some of these songs with just her guitar and voice, and they are infinitely easier to listen to. Perhaps I should blame her producer, then, but the whole album does not sound like a tribute to country music as much as it sounds like she is almost poking fun at the industry of country music.
Sorry, Jewel. I said "Say it ain't so!" when you came out with 0304, and now I'm saying it again.
