I love this list because its so much more intelligent & insightful than my other life in "MrBB headspinning EDA land"! Ectophiles seem to be able to comment on an artists' work without getting too bogged down about personality/publicity issues, which is unbelievably refreshing to me. A few quick comments: Neile G is right on target, IMO, when she wrote: <> Much of whats included in the book was written in Jewel's journals between age 15 & 20. If nothing else, this book may inspire many young people who would never have considered reading ANY poetry (without music) to do so. I'm not so young anymore, but I know I fall into that category, too. And to Ron, who after posting very valid points, said about himself: <> On this, I couldn't agree more with Neal C who stole the words right outta my mouth by saying: <> :-) And finally......(hallelujah!).....to the few Ectophiles who privately wrote me asking: <> Yes, I lead a weird dual personality life sometimes....My apologies for the informality of sometimes signing posts as MrBB. That often happens when I'm crossposting a "Jewel lists update message" & I'm too lazy to send an individual Ectopost. I much prefer being just "Alan", but when dealing with 3000 EDAs, I long ago discovered remaining somewhat anonymous has definate advantages.

But I agree -- her voice is > terrific. Do you still have the tape? One thing I am very interested in is finding a non-LP B-Side that appeared on a cassette single I saw once in a store. Of course I didn't get it, then when I wanted it, it was gone. Maybe the b-side was originally intended to be on the album and may be on advance promos...I don't even know the name of the song, but I do know all the names of the album tracks. The album was also released in Germany and Canada, so the B-Side may be on their version as well. But I can't find any info on them. Any ideas? That's why I thought I'd post on Ecto, in hopes of finding a fan who may know. > When was her last recording effort? She was one of the Harlettes > (Bette Midler backup singers). YES! She was one of the original Harlettes, but unfortunately only recorded ONE song with Bette, whenever the Harlettes were recorded on an album, Katey was never one! She did sing backup on an Olivia Newton-John song as well. And just recently found she sang backup on KISS and Molly Hatchet!!! I couldn't believe that! I'm trying to get all of her recordings, since there aren't many. Besides the B-Side, and backups, I only know of one other release she was on... it was a Christmas album released on MCA several years ago called "A Starlight Christmas" and she is featured on one song. I cannot find it ANYWHERE!!! The Jets and Patti LaBelle also were on it. Neither of them have it listed on homepages in their discographies, so I doubt I could find a fan who had it for sale. I WAS in contact with Katey's music management, but they have been dropped by her. I read in an article a couple years ago that she was indeed writing for a new album AND recording. And her management told me the same. But she is no longer with Virgin Records, so WHO KNOWS!!!??? I can't find ANY info on her music career - nor can I find her acting management to GET that info. So, the answer to your question is...she only has the ONE album. And she HAS recorded more, but who for and when we will hear it is THE question.

It is not "great", as in awe-inspiring, but I do believe she has great potential. Her music is defintely ectoish, and her lyrics are worth reading all on their own. I particularly enjoy "Can't Hurry The Harvest", which I saw her perform in one of the late-night talk shows, and which hooked me enough to make me go out next day and look for the CD. I would be happy to see a second album from her (is there one?). I think that with a little time to mature as a song-writer and performer she would rise to the higher strata of the ecto atmosphere. - - Bill. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 98/05/13, at 7:33 AM, Kevin D.

Alan TONY: Can poetry improve the world? Jewel: We all affect the world no matter how public or anonymous [we] are. I think we do have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other to be kind and responsible, but I don't feel some huge by-putting-this-out-I'm-going - -change-the-world kind of thing. I just feel it's important to be human, and what kids get nowadays is usually so affected, so manipulated, so hyped, so hip, that there are very few things that exist rawly and purely. Poetry is great because it's hard to fuck with in the media. TONY: When celebrities take on literary projects, they set themselves up for harsh criticism. Are you prepare to deal with that? Jewel: Whenever you do something new, there's going to be someone talking about it negatively. That's just part of the job hazard. I expect to have failure in my life-if I don't, I'm not being sufficiently challenged. Sometimes you don't hit it; sometimes you do. To worry about how people will criticize me is censoring myself. All I can do, which is what I do on my record as well, is be as honest as I can. The rest is bullshit. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 23:52:59 EDT From: Paul2k Subject: susan werner tonight in MD Oh. My. God. hee hee. As always, susan did not disappoint tonight in Sykesville, MD. She played a 50 minute and a 40 minute set with an encore to die for. Yes, i finally got to see her play and sing La Habanera from Bizet's Carmen again...thank you thank you thank you to the group who requested the song.... She played a LOT of new stuff...the only older stuff she did was LOTGSG, Tappan Zee, St. Mary's of Regret, Much at All, and she ended with the Baby Boomer Song (is she really pulling this song out of the mothballs because this is the second time in a row that i've seen her do it)... She had scattered comments about the Nashville sessions...album is supposed to come out August 15th, i believe, and will be called "Long Time Between Trains" or whatever the name of that song is....hmmm....which reminds me that when i saw her at Falcon Ridge with Sherlyn and Woj and Meth and Mike, she mentioned that that was the probable title of the cd...of course, this was two summers ago... She said that she's done the rough cuts of the songs and they are more stripped down "for those who fear the overproduction of the last album"... i took my sister to the show...it's the first time since January of 1996 that she's seen Susan...of course she enjoyed it immensely :) We arrived about 3 minutes before the performance (susan had no opener) and there were only scattered single seats (the place, Baldwin's Station and Pub, is a restaurant/pub and the room where Susan performed was a dining room...people were having dinner and waiters were floating through...she was alotted an area in a corner for her performance space with spotlights on her...it was like dinner theater) I let my sister have the very front row seat at the front most table right in front of susan while i sat further back...lots of background noise, typical of a restaurant, which kind of detracted from the concert...and a train blew by during "Your Old Mistake"... sidenote : sykesville seemed so out of place to me and my sister....it reminded us of the small towns of Massachusetts, especially in the Berkshires...threw us both aback a bit since we both went to college up there... As always, we were the only asians in attendence :) just kidding...well, about the "as always" comment... she performed the new arrangement of LOTGSG...a kind of sadder version of the Live at Tin Angel cut...and she played an appreciable number of newer songs that i hadn't heard before...She started with a song that might be called "This Might Be the Last Go Round"....then did "Bodhisattva and the Beamer".... no Petaluma Afternoons....she did do "Standing in my Own Way", "Bonsai", a Don MacLean song about Van Gogh which she has recorded, but she isn't sure if it'll make it on the album..."Movie of My Life"... i'll comment about the newer songs later....suffice it to say, i'm excited as all get out for the new album....and i can't wait to see her again...didn't get to talk to her after the show...my sister and i had to jet...she has classes to teach tomorrow...
