As revealed by RollingStone.com this morning, Jewel will release her new album Picking Up the Pieces on Sept. 11 through Sugar Hill Records, now available for pre-orderhere. She self-produced the 14-track LP - with her first producer, the late Ben Keith, always in mind  and hired a band comprised mostly of Neil Young collaborators to help her strip away the veneer she'd built up over two decades in the music business. "This is just me. These are my thoughts. These are my feelings. This is my poetry," Jewel said. "It really felt like returning to a part of me that I didn't mean to lose, but with time and relationships and life and surviving and dealing, you take on new things and not all of them are great." The last five years have been full of change, both personal and creative, for the 41-year-old Alaska-born singer. Her 4-year-old son Kase was born, but her marriage fell apart. She wrote her memoir,Never Broken, and recorded a pair of children's albums. Picking Up the Pieces captures some of these moments on "Love Used to Be" and "Mercy," but also gathers longtime unrecorded live favorites like "Carnivore" and "Boy Needs a Bike." The album also includes "My Father's Daughter," a stunning autobiographical collaboration withDolly Parton. Jewel said she wanted to make an album where she didn't feel "diluted": "I was trying to keep my mind quiet and honestly get back to something I feel like I'd lost touch with in my life. It was really an exercise in shutting out fear. I was giving myself permission to be exactly who and what I was." ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #1467 ****************************
