Jewel is featured in the current issue (November 9 - December 9, Vol. XXV. No. 24) of Music Connection magazine (basically an L.A. local music magazine, mostly for professional musicians; well regarded). She's on the cover, and there is a four-page (well, 3-and-1/2 page) interview with her. Her interview on the Kilborn show was basically a "Cliffs Notes" to this longer (and flattering) interview. You can contact the magazine at . I don't know if the interview is on line. -=-Larry-=- From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Sat Dec 1 07:43:08 2001 Received: from smoe.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by smoe.org (8.12.0.Beta16/8.12.0.Beta16) with ESMTP id fB1Ch8Rj025995 for ; Sat, 1 Dec 2001 07:43:08 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.12.0.Beta16/8.12.0.Beta16/submit) id fB1Ch7Nw025993 for jewel-news-outgoing; Sat, 1 Dec 2001 07:43:07 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <200112011243.fB1Ch7Nw025993@smoe.org> Date: Sat, 01 Dec 2001 03:21:37 -0800 From: "Larry G." To: Jewel@smoe.org Subject: Jewel-News: The "Music Connection" Interview Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk "Jewel" - by Michael Mollura In the relative silence of a two-year cool-off period that began with the tour that followed Jewels 1998 Spirit release, this precocious young artist has been anything but quiet. Once she adjusted to her move from California to the country prairies of Nashvilles Music Row  and rodeo life with current boyfriend Ty Murray  Jewel has been busy writing new songs while recording others. In 1999 she released a compendium of her favorite Christmas tunes for a CD appropriately titled Joy: A Holiday Collection and has been acknowledged by her peers as being one of the most gifted, accomplished, and admired young women of our time. Over the years, Jewels considerable accomplishments as a singer, songwriter, and performer have represented just a fragment of her much-larger-than-real creative life. Her first book of poetry, A Night Without Armor, was published in 1998 and has had 29 printings while selling over a million copies. Jewels second book, Chasing Down The Dawn, a collection of her journal writings, short stories, and photographs, was published in 2000. If that isnt enough to tire most artists, Jewel made her acting debut in director Ang Lees 1999 Civil War drama Ride With The Devil. Soon after, this radiant Renaissance woman was named one of Glamour magazines 10th Anniversary Women of the Year for her dedication to humanitarian goals. Later that year Jewel received the Founders Choice Award from the non-profit Time For Peace organization, an achievement which resulted, in part, from the creation of Higher Ground for Humanity, a non-profit foundation  created together with her mother/manager Lenedra Carroll  dedicated to promoting global community and individual action to inspire positive change. Taking the current disconcerted global climate into consideration, the release of Jewels latest album This Way may seem like the by-product of some Atlantic Records marketing genius. The fact remains, however, that there is no better time than the present to receive a new record by this remarkable angel with a guitar. Upon listening to many of the songs on this new CD, it almost seems like many of the tunes were written after the September 11 attacks. One listen to her latest single, New Wild West, proves how this insightful artist, like a Native Indian shaman with an ear to the ground, could sense danger on the horizon. And, as a result, the artist asserts in the following interview, I wouldnt have changed a word or a note of what is on this record. In this sense, Jewels auspicious and pertinent This Way drops like one of Gods own love bombs, helping in the fight against gossip, hostility and fear. After listening to this smart, sweet and thought-provoking performer discuss art, publishing, technique, and industry dos and donts, there is no doubt that Jewel remains a rare gem who can help us rise from the ashes of uncertainty. The big question is whether or not the fickle record-buying public will be wise enough to rediscover her in time. Music Connection: Talk about some of your early experiences playing clubs and coffeehouses as an unsigned artist. Did you play L.A. at all? Jewel: I opened up for Graham Parker a long time ago, but even while I was in San Diego, I stayed away from L.A. pretty much. I think the coffee shop Im most famous for playing was in San Diego  a place called the Inner Change. Thats where I got discovered. MC: When did your performing career actually begin? Jewel: Ive been touring since I was eight years old, my dad and I had a duo. We sang in Veterans clubs and bars and traveled around Alaska. Ive been a road dog forever. MC: Did you start by doing covers? Jewel: Yeah, I always did covers and my dads music. I started writing songs on the guitar when I was 17. It wasnt until I was 18 before I started playing my own music live. I played the bars, clubs and coffee shops. MC: How did you package yourself to get attention from the industry? Did you record demos and send them out? Jewel: I stayed away from making demos at the beginning. I think demos are good for you as a songwriter or for people who are coming to see you, but a lot of times what theyll do is just end up sitting on someones desk. I havent heard of many people getting signed off of demos, have you? MC: Music Connection does see kids get signed from using demo tapes. We have a Demo Critiques section and the artists often get contacted by A&R reps as a result. Jewel: Thats great. But I still think if youre a singer in a coffeehouse, the best thing you can do to help your career is to just be the best you can be in the club or area that you perform in. MC: Creating a word-of-mouth vibe is so essential. How did you choose the Inner Change coffeehouse? Jewel: I actually chose the Interchange because it was an out-of-the-way coffeeshop. It wasnt on the main strip in San Diego. But it was a great choice because I got all the door money and because I was living off of it. I mean they had no walk in crowd and I had no following at the beginning, so together we kind of grew. It was my choice to charge three bucks to get in and eventually it started being like two shows a night with a hundred people standing outside to watch through the window and thats what drew the attention of the record labels. MC: Did you go after the labels to come out to see you or did they just come? Jewel: Pretty soon after playing long enough, record label heads like Danny Goldberg from Atlantic were driving four hours to come see me sing. MC: Did you sign with Atlantic because Goldberg was the highest bidder? Jewel: Danny is a really good singer/songwriter guy. As anyone in the business will tell you, hes really great at selling art because hes authentic. He really seems believable when hes talking to you. MC: What other considerations did you entertain when you were being courted by the labels? Jewel: I didnt want to have a record deal where there was a kind of pressure on my first record. I wanted to be developed, I wanted the long-term career. With all those kind of goals in mind, Danny really understood that I had to develop as a songwriter. Most importantly, he understood that they couldnt capitalize on me with my first record. He saw it as a long-term vision which is what I saw. MC: With your mother being your manager, was Atlantic Records the choice made by the two of you? Jewel: It was all me. It is my life and my career so I have to be the one who lives with these kind of decisions. But surrounding yourself with reliable people is important. I encourage every artist to know everything they can about the business. The only way to give yourself creative freedom is to make sure that your business is handled in a way that insures certain liberties. Im a very business oriented and active person which actually frees up my art. MC: Whats an example of how being business savvy worked for you? Jewel: I could have gotten a huge signing bonus, but I only took very little money up front. As a result, I got more mechanicals and royalties. I bet on myself, if you know what I mean. I made it cheap for the label to own me. MC: That is so important for young artists today to learn. Integrity is essential. Jewel: After I was signed I still toured solo, didnt have a tour bus, kept driving a rental car. I kept things really inexpensive so that I could survive the whole time when I didnt have a hit  and I really didnt have a hit almost the whole first year Pieces of You was out. I really believe that one of the reasons why Atlantic stuck with me was because I was very cheap. Then when Pieces broke big: A  I didnt owe any money back to the label; and B  my label was able to be supportive until I had a hit. MC: Most artists dont realize they have choices once a label offers you money. Jewel: Many people think theyve got to screw the label for all the money they can get. Really theyre just screwing themselves. MC: What kind of publishing deal did you sign? Jewel: I actually didnt sign any publishing deals until almost the end of the Pieces run. I held on to publishing as long as I could to get the best deal. I suggest trying not to sell off your publishing as long as you can if youre a songwriter; since thats really your money, you want to have the most leverage you can. The quicker you sell out, the less leverage you have. Although, if theres a lot of hype over you  you sell your publishing first, and if your record ends up as nothing on the market, you still end up doing well. Its a gamble. MC: Which publisher did you choose? Jewel: I went with Warner/Chappell. MC: And which rights organization? Jewel: I went with ASCAP. But it was really just apples and oranges to a certain point. To me, its just an auto-function really. They do their job and I do mine. ASCAP is what really collects a lot of your money and then your label collects the publishing money that ASCAP didnt collect and then it goes to your publishing company and they give it to you. MC: What is it that you feel that musicians are least prepared for when dealing with the business of being a signed artist? Jewel: I think they really need to understand where their money comes from, what mechanicals are, what royalties are, how many records you have to sell to make back what you owe. I also think that its important to understand that nobody will look out for you the way you look out for yourself. You have to realize that you are in a partnership with your label. It is a business relationship and I see a lot of managers hurting artists by picking fights. And its not necessarily the fights you need to pick. I think its important to know which fights to pick, which are the important things to let go of and which things are just ego. Realize that its your ego that wants a huge signing bonus, but if youre thinking about a long-term career you might be a little more willing to let it go of it, knowing youll get it back in the end. I dont think an artist should just trust a managements decision. I think you should really be involved because it has to be your career and it should look like youre going to have longevity. The business is made to harvest youth and once that youth is harvested its hard to have a career beyond that. MC: Youve been fortunate to have your mother be there for you as a manager. Jewel: Shes an artist, too, so she knows what it takes to nurture creativity, which most people dont know how to do. MC: Turning attention to your new album This Way, was it difficult for you to gather your creative thoughts after being away from the recording world for two years? Jewel: Not at all. I mean the business is full of mythology and they say you cant leave for that long. I think you have to do whatever supports your creativity, and I needed a rest My goal has always been songwriting and longevity, so its important to take stock, see what youre doing, how you are doing it and not to get in the habit of trying to outdo yourself every time. I kept writing over the last two years, I did shows, I just didnt do the big glamour-sized gigs. MC: Whats the process of songwriting like for you? Jewel: I tend to write in my head. I hear the chords. Like on the new record theres a song called Jesus Loves You, which I wrote while I was out walking in the woods. For me the process of songwriting 90 percent of the time is like reading a book. I just see it in my head, the song is already done. The music is done, the arrangement is done. The words are done all right away. And then Ill just go back once I get to my guitar and Ill just basically copy it down. MC: Are you saying that the lyrics and music come out of you naturally together, fully formed? Jewel: Yeah, the lyrics and the melody always come together and the bridge is usually in there. Whether its a dissonant chord or a major chord under it. Sometimes its a little bit blurry. Like I cant quite see the words in my head. Its almost like water dripped on the page Im reading in my head and the inks a little bit blurry. MC: So you dont write in fragments, like a main melody first, then a lyric, then come back to it with a bridge? Jewel: Very rarely does a song come to me without the lyrics and the whole song being with it. Its mainly just a feeling, a very specific emotion and every word that I put to it  the only criteria that I have is that the word can not dilute that emotion. So when Im singing it to you, youll feel it just as poignantly and with as much hurt or longing as poignantly with as much hurt or longing as I felt when it came to me. MC: Was there a creative or philosophical shift that went into This Way? Jewel: Co-producing the record or producing it yourself is really important for an artist like me on the issue of control. MC: When did you decide to self-produce the new record? Jewel: I dont know. Its just something I decided to do for this record. I mean theres a learning curve involved in the studio. Ive been a live act my whole life, I sing better live than in a studio and thats really rare. Usually singers like to take advantage of technology to make themselves sound better in a studio than they do live. Im the exact opposite. My voice usually sounds dead in a studio because I dont know how to sing when theres no audience. So, this time I co-produced so that it would sound like me. MC: What were the considerations in deciding who might be best suited to produce you at this point in your career? Jewel: Hiring a producer is like hiring a painter to do a portrait of you. It's going to be your image on canvas, but its going to be interpreted by an artist. So if you had Manet do your portrait, youd know what it would look like. It would be you, but it would have an Impressionistic brush stroke. This time around I wanted to sound like myself. So it was important that I co-produce this record and whoever Id co-produced it with, would need to be transparent enough without trying to work out their artistry on me. MC: Is that why you went with Dan Huff? Jewel: Yeah, Dan is tremendously skilled and versatile and really wanted me to have a record that sounded like me. While he gave me opinions and advice, it always came down to whether I thought it was right or not. Dan lent me all of his technique and skill and experience and was able to get the band to do whatever I needed them to do. We worked really well together. MC: How did he land the job? Jewel: It was an accident. I was doing a track titled Until We Run Out of Road for a Professional Bull Riding compilation CD and I was just going to do it as a throwaway song. I used Dan as the producer, even though I had never heard of him before. Dan and I ended up doing the song the way it is on the new record [This Way]. We worked really quickly and I just ended up saying that day, Listen, you want to make a record together? And we did. MC: With songs like Break Me and Jesus Loves You, the content on this album seems much more natural and authentic, could you comment a little on your lyrical approach. Jewel: This Way is no more autobiographical than my other albums. Its always me in every song, though much of it is made up. But youre always getting my opinion, even if its masked in a song like Jesus Loves You. MC: Was the entire album recorded live as you had done with Pieces of You? Jewel: Every song was recorded live, the overdubs we did were harmonies and percussion. MC: Right into Pro Tools? Jewel: We used Pro Tools. But what I really had to struggle with was to keep the attitude really loose and raw. I didnt want it to get slick. I didnt mind some flanging. I didnt care if everything lined up perfect, but I wanted a real live good energetic feel, not the sterilized feel you can get in Pro Tools. MC: Did you make a special attempt to perfect your use of harmonies? Jewel: I actually hate doing harmonies. Once I get my main vocal done, Ill start to sing which harmonies I like. Im tremendously impatient. I do my own harmonies just to have a certain sonic sensibility. I tend to pick other notes that other people dont pick, so I tend to have to do them myself  but I hate doing them. MC: You wrote most of these songs before the 9/11 attacks. Are there any tracks or lyrics you wish you could tweak to make them more sensitive to the current emotional climate? Jewel: I said everything I could have ever wanted about how I feel in the song, The New Wild West. MC: Its so appropriate. Jewel: On The New Wild West I wrote about how there is no further west we can go. Weve pioneered all the land we can and somehow weve had this belief that if we put church steeples in remote villages and if we enclose the natives, that well somehow become magically civilized. But church bells do not civilize us on their own. We have to civilize ourselves as people  civilize our own hearts, minds, morals, actions and behaviors. To me, that says everything about what is happening since the 11th. MC: Will the creation of music change now that the world consciousness has sort of been opened up like a can of tuna? Jewel: My work has always reflected social and political environment. To me the best writing thats ever been done has been usually precipitated under political upheaval. During times of discontent I think writers have usually written more poignantly. You can only be frivolous in times of milk and honey when you can afford to. So, its possible, but I certainly dont think every artist will raise their stakes. I do think socially minded artists will.

Today's question was submitted by JeweLink member Amy Mester. Amy asks: Where did you and Ty write Till We Run Out of Road? Did some quirky conversation or event inspire it? Jewel answers: We wrote this song in a little cedar cabin that had no electricity or plumbing. Needless to say, we were looking for ways to pass the hours on this New Year's Eve and I thought it would be fun to show Ty what it was like to write a song. We wrote it from his perspective about being on the road rodeoing for most of his life with his partner, Cody Lambert.

But after promoting her last CD of all-new material, 1998's Spirit, Jewel spent two years assessing her own performance — and her line of work in general. "I had lost some of that excitement I had when I first got into this business," the 27-year-old singer/songwriter explains. "So I pretty much just quit. I told my management I needed to spend some time thinking about what type of career would get me excited again." During that time, Jewel says, "I was able to sift out what parts of this job worked for me and what parts didn't. I was raised in Alaska, in the quiet, and I had always been able to hear my creative voice very clearly. "Then as I came to be in constant motion and constant saturation, it got hard to hear that voice. It's a lonely feeling when that happens. But after a year and then another year passed, I finally felt I knew what kind of record I wanted to make." That would be Jewel's new CD, This Way, which entered Billboard's album chart last week at No. 9. "Everybody said I couldn't be gone for three years and debut in the top 10," Jewel notes. "So it's been a challenge, which is kind of fun." Indeed, critics have noted that This Way finds the singer pushing herself creatively, as well, praising the album as a more mature and ambitious effort. "I think the growth that it reflects is just growing up in general," says Jewel, who also co-produced the CD with veteran boardsman Dann Huff. Jewel was only 17 when she wrote most of her debut, Pieces of You, she points out. "Ironically, I wrote some of the songs on the new record when I was 17 or 20. My work has been published since I was very young, so you're going to see a natural maturation." Spending much of her hiatus at her boyfriend's ranch in Texas helped enhance that process. "I write well when I can be alone and go really deep inside myself. I access pop culture better that way, oddly. If I just go outdoors and go for a walk, I'll write Jesus Loves You," she muses, referring to a socially conscious track that she dryly describes as "what I would write if I could write a song for Jerry Falwell." In promoting This Way, Jewel plans to use the lessons she has recently learned. "I'll work hard but tour a little less — probably in two- to four-week bursts. If it means my record won't do as well, that's the bullet I'll have to bite. I need time to write, be still and keep a balance. Otherwise, I'll lose what I love doing, and I can't let that happen. ----- 12/04/2001 - Updated 01:09 AM ET Grown-up Jewel doesn't miss hype By Elysa Gardner, USA TODAY The prospect of being considered an older woman doesn't particularly bother Jewel. If you were cute, famous and 27, it wouldn't bother you, either. What does concern the singer/songwriter is what her stature as a relative grande dame on the pop charts says about her industry. "I'm in a business that mines youth but doesn't really know how to nurture longevity," she says. Jewel isn't moaning about the barrage of boy-toy bands and underage divas who have emerged as superstars in recent years. Nor is she casting blame on the star-making machinery. "I think it's ultimately up to the artist. If you're going to have a long career, you have to constantly change and grow. You have to stick up for your muse. And you have to surround yourself with people who support that goal." These, it appears, were Jewel's mantras as she put together her first album of all-new material in three years, This Way, which arrived in November. "I was a little scared to come back," she says. "There wasn't a lot left to me by the end of my last run. I was overexposed." In fact, Jewel says, she is grateful not to be confronting the level of hype lavished on her last CD, which followed the breakthrough debut album that established the singer as an it-girl of the late '90s. "It's been much easier now that things have come down a notch," she says. "I'm able to have access again to fans. It's nice to feel fresh and open again." Certainly, it isn't lost on Jewel how much popular music has changed since her Lilith Fair heyday. "But that's life," she reasons. "You can only hear Nirvana and Soundgarden complain about feeling bad for so long before you're looking for solutions, which brings Sarah McLachlan and me along. And you can only hear about being thoughtful for so long until you want bubblegum pop. "But when it's all bubblegum, there is a faction of society that doesn't get represented. So I have noticed a restlessness lately in the public. But I don't know what will happen as a result." Jewel has found some clearer answers in her personal life, which for the past four years has included Ty Murray, a champion rodeo performer. "He's a tremendously disciplined person, and tremendously moral," Jewel says. "We have some very different political ideals, but we're also very similar. He's honest, upright, frank and direct. Fame can tolerate a prolonged adolescence among stars, but around him and his friends in Texas, you have to earn respect. And they expect to have to earn yours." The singer adds that being on Murray's ranch — she also has a home in San Diego — "is comforting because I'm able to do the things I was raised with, like riding horses and doing branding." In fact, Jewel recently told Vanity Fair that she was castrating cattle in her spare time. "But there's a season for that," she points out. "It's over now." Not that she will be at a loss for ways to stay productive in the near future. In addition to her new tour, Jewel, who made her feature-film debut two years ago in Ang Lee's Ride With the Devil, has slotted time this summer to film another movie. "I just haven't found a great script yet." And the author of two best-selling books would "like to do a slender novella of love poems. But they're going to be a little more explicit." How explicit? "Well, I'm not sure that 4-to-8-year-olds are going to buy it." Of course, there are things that a mature woman can't share with everyone. "Growing up is good," Jewel declares. "You wouldn't trade away what you've learned to be 18 again, would you? I wouldn't." -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su From owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Thu Dec 6 19:31:15 2001 Received: from smoe.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by smoe.org (8.12.0.Beta16/8.12.0.Beta16) with ESMTP id fB70VFRj006481 for ; Thu, 6 Dec 2001 19:31:15 -0500 (EST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by smoe.org (8.12.0.Beta16/8.12.0.Beta16/submit) id fB70VDDJ006479 for jewel-news-outgoing; Thu, 6 Dec 2001 19:31:13 -0500 (EST) Received: from pronetisp.net (mail.pronetisp.net [12.23.44.4]) by smoe.org (8.12.0.Beta16/8.12.0.Beta16) with SMTP id fB70V2Rj006457 for ; Thu, 6 Dec 2001 19:31:03 -0500 (EST) Received: (qmail 14406 invoked from network); 7 Dec 2001 00:30:53 -0000 Received: from dialin-bing12-139.pronetisp.net (HELO oemcomputer.smoe.org) (12.96.182.139) by mail.pronetisp.net with SMTP; 7 Dec 2001 00:30:53 -0000 Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20011206193053.00a3d230@127.0.0.1> X-Sender: mikec/mail.smoe.org@127.0.0.1 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2001 19:31:54 -0500 To: jewel@smoe.org, jewel-news@smoe.org From: Mike Connell Subject: Jewel-News: FWD: JeweLink: December 6, 2001 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-jewel-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Here is the latest issue of JeweLink, directly from Jewel's "people", if you want to get a copy of this directly as each issue comes out, you can sub- scribe to it by sending a blank email to join-jewelink@list.jeweljk.com ******************************************** JeweLink - The Official Jewel Communications List ******************************************** In this edition of JeweLink: ***VINTAGE JEWEL PHOTOS ***IN STYLE EVENT IN NYC ***JEWEL: NEXT WEEK'S TV SCHEDULING ******************************************** ***VINTAGE JEWEL PHOTOS We continue to feature never-before-seen new Jewel photos every Tuesday at the scrapbook page of Jewel's website and this week is no exception.

Just as a first note - for all those who are under the conception that Jewel is a bitch in person, this is ABSOLUTELY untrue (or at least she was not a bitch tonight). I was in a very small room with her for over an hour and a half and I have to say she was EXTREMELY down to earth, friendly, funny, and just generally nice to everybody including the band (who she seemed to have good rapour with), the roadie guys, the muchmoremusic staffers, and ESPECIALLY the audience. From the minute she arrived she was talking and being friendly with the audience. Actually there was one girl in the audience who was almost blind (legally blind) and she had this contraption with her to help her see. And before the show started Jewel asked her about it and they had this lengthy discussion.. and then during the breaks Jewel would go up to her and start asking her about her condition and whether she read brail.. things like that. Really friendly and kind. Anyway... here's what I'll do. I'll go through "the good", "the bad", and then the setlist.. and that'll be it. The Bad - This was not a concert, it was a TV taping. The show itself was very contrived. It was VERY controlled.. Thus it didn't have the spontenaity of an actual concert. It was makes you realise how spontaneous even Jewel's setlisted shows are. The other problem with it being a tv taping was that the sound was optimised for TV and not the studio.. which isn't to say that the sound was BAD.. but it wasn't as good as it has been at concerts. Jewel's voice was way too soft at the beginning. It got better as the show progressed so I guess they turned up her mic or something. I was in a bad position because i was right near the drums so I could hear the drums live, as opposed to through a speaker.. and we all know live drums are MUCH louder than drums that are mixed into the rest of the sound... so that was difficult. But as the show went on her voice got a LOT louder. The Good - The Band. They were VERY tight and very with-it. Every song was well performed and good. Jewel's attitude and the vibe she brought to the place. Makes you realise she's just a person.. nothing special.. just a person with a lot of talent. She swears. She was reapplying lip gloss half way through the show during an ad break and some guy told her he needed some and she laughed and was like "tough shit!" That was cute. The fact that it was mostly This Way material.. apart from 2 songs... that was really good. And the fact that it was 90 minutes with only 3 commercial breaks and 3 interview segments.. leaving the rest for Jewel's music... so we got to hear a LOT of songs. Jewel played guitar on almost every song... she said she felt uncomfortable not playing her guitar whilst singing. Ok.. song by song Standing Still - same old song. Her voice was very quiet. I was disconcerted Jesus Loves You - full band version with Jewel on lead acoustic guitar! Quite good. Voice still quiet, but better Everybody Needs Someone Sometimes - VERY good live. The live version is less country, more rock-and-roll.. and her voice was getting louder by the second! I really enjoyed this one Till We Run Out of Road - Again, full band. Voice was still a LITTLE quiet.. but getting better. I Won't Walk Away - Really good. I really know what Jewel means when she says she sings more tone, less notes. it was amazing how her voice just changed to being like a jazz singer. I really liked this This Way - Not great. Her voice was too girly, high, and quiet. This isn't a live song anyway.. it's a studio song.. and it's not my favourite song Do You Want To Play - Really nice! I liked the band in this song.. Jewel was sounding better and better too. Serve the Ego - AWESOME!! I love this live. She didn't attempt her gypsy vocal thing.. but otherwise this was definitely a highlight Grey Matter - this was incredible. Hearing Jewel and her guitar without ANY noise from the audience was definitely a treat. She sounded really good on this one Hands - Good version. Same old Hands.. but a little bit jazzed up in places Who Will Save Your Soul - AMAZING. Her voice was so amazing during this song. Very jazzy and scatty. She did the same back and forth with the guitarist.. except she didn't mimmick the guitarist... and after the show i heard her saying to him that she couldn't hear him (she was wearing in-ear monitors).. so that must be why! Overall - good show. I can't wait to see her in concert!

This program airs on the NBC Network at 10:00 PM EST. PANTENE PRO-VOICE CONCERT The MuchMusicUSA Network will be broadcasting a new expanded version of the Pantene Pro-Voice Concert which took place in Central Park last July. In this version of the broadcast, Jewel's set is highlighted. The premiere broadcast takes place on December 20th at 9:00 PM EST. Jewel will also be performing on numerous other shows over the next week or so. A complete list of televised performances currently scheduled between now and Christmas can be found at the end of this JeweLink. ******************************************** ***HOLIDAY CONCERTS CONTINUE Jewel continues performing sets at various radio station holiday concerts this week. Stops include the Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden tonight (with band) and WTIC's concert at The Webster Theater in Hartford, CT tomorrow night (solo acoustic). Next Monday, December 16th, Jewel will hit Y100's concert at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL followed by KFMDs concert at The Pepsi Arena in Denver, CO on Thursday night, December 20th. Both of these will be band performances. ******************************************** ***JMERCH: COLLECTORS ITEMS JMerch has managed to stock a second batch of the rare "Standing Still" 45 rpm vinyl singles and they are once again available while supplies last. This rarity was issued by Atlantic for jukebox use and contains "Grey Matter" on the flipside. You cannot find this item anywhere and all singles purchased from JMerch are autographed by Jewel and come with a certificate of authenticity. The last batch flew out of here in a matter of days, so you collectors who'd like one of these should order ASAP, before they are gone. We are also offering a limited number of the 2000 Edition Holiday Ornament along with the extremely rare "Jeweltide Carrolls" CD. For those who are not familiar with this CD, it was a private limited-edition CD sent by Jewel and Lenedra in 1998 as a holiday greeting to friends and associates. It contains unreleased studio recordings of them singing "Rudolph, The Red-nosed Reindeer" and "I Wonder as I Wander." These recordings are not available anywhere else. Also, we have a handful of the 1999 Inaugural Edition Holiday Ornaments. This edition is extremely limited and we will run out of them. Both are now available at a new low price in the Jewel Emporium at http://www.jeweljk.com/store/accessories.html As always, if you have any questions, you can contact us toll-free or via email by following the information below.

As many of you know, her favorite thing to receive for Christmas is a donation to Higher Ground for Humanity's (HGH) ClearWater Project. Before JeweLink existed, many online fans annually contributed to the Clearwater Project and/or volunteered for local community service hours as Christmas gifts to Jewel. This yearly demonstration that Jewel's humanitarian messages are understood, means an awful lot to her and all of us! If you would like to participate this year and have a ClearWater donation earmarked as a gift to her, here's how it works. Please indicate "JK" in the memo line of your check, or if you donate online, list the initials "JK" after your name (we have verified that this will not interfere with the credit card verification procedures). To donate online, please go to: http://www.clearwaterproject.org/dodonations.html. If you want to send a check or money order, please make it payable to HGH/ClearWater and mail to: PO Box 9002, Carlsbad, CA 92018 The minimum amount you can donate online is $10, so if you prefer to send in less, please use the mail-in instructions. Due to IRS regulations, we are also raising the donation amount required to receive a ClearWater t-shirt from $25 to $50 beginning January 1, 2002, so December is the last month that the $25 amount will apply. (Please note that the t-shirt offer is only for those who have not yet received one). So far the ClearWater Project has brought clean water to over 12,000 people in places as diverse as Tanzania, Africa, India, Honduras, Tibet and Mexico. We are currently in the process of updating the ClearWater web site with our latest accomplishments and we'll let you know when the new site is up, which will be sometime early next year. To visit our web site, please go to http://www.clearwaterproject.org. And thanks to all of you who have donated in the past and made our work possible!

Next up to will be the title track. Jewel plans to remix the track in Nashville in mid-January with a radio release soon to follow. Commercial release status is not yet determined, but she will shoot another video for "This Way" next month. ******************************************** ***EUROPEAN PLAN OVERVIEW We suspect many European JeweLink members already have Jewel's album via import, but for those so patiently waiting, it will be available domestically on February 25th. Coinciding with the release, Jewel will embark on a promo tour of Europe. In addition to the many television and radio appearances now being scheduled and the Royal Festival Hall concert in London, a few additional concerts are in the process of being considered. (Note: contrary to reports and rumors circulating, no concerts, other than London, are confirmed as of today. Status on this can change over the next few days. As additional Europe concerts are really confirmed, we'll add them to Jewel's web site calendar.) During February, Jewel will also be taping several TV shows, including "2Nite" in Germany, "Musica Si" in Spain and others yet to be announced. Plans are for Jewel to return to Europe for a full tour in May of 2002, with tentatively planned concert stops in England, Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. She's also confirmed for sets at several major festivals, among them Pink Pop and Rock Am Ringe. As additional scheduling becomes finalized, it will be added to the www.jeweljk.com calendar. Check it often for the latest accurate information. ******************************************** ***NEW TV CONFIRMATION AND SCHEDULE Jewel will pay a return visit to David Letterman on The Late Show on Tuesday, January 15th.
