I love you, I miss you too" - - after the songs ended and Jewel had left the stage, Michel stopped to chat was genuinely concerned about how we felt and if we'd enjoyed ourselves - there's never a doubt... Well, I'm off to explore love in the human cosmos (ok, I'll be back in a week or so) dreams last so long - Gerry said that, or maybe it was Jewel or... whatever, see ya, Adrian P.S. when's the Steve Poltz LRT launch? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 1998 17:14:40 -0500 From: Mike Connell Subject: Missing Jewel digests 97, 98 & 99 (???)

Greenfield" Subject: Steve Poltz in Billboard (full text -- long) boundary="------------189B65C7955D26F38737259D" content-length: 13527 Hi, all! Sender: owner-jewel@smoe.org Precedence: bulk The following article appears in the February 14, 1998 edition of Billboard Magazine (at pages 12, 15): MERCURY WANTS STEVE POLTZ'S NAME AS FAMILIAR AS HIS FACE By Carrie Borzillo Los Angeles -- Most people know who Steve Poltz is . . . they just might not realize it yet. He's the songwriter who co-wrote Jewel's hit "You Were Meant For Me," the handsome man in that song's video, and the leader of one of San Diego's most popular bands, the quirky Rugburns. Now, after writing literally hundreds of songs, the 37-year-old Poltz is adding solo artist to his list of credits. His debut album, "One Left Shoe," coming from Mercury on March 17, is a 15-song collection of confessional straight-from-the-heart love songs. The album was recorded live in the studio with producer Steve Soles and features such guests as Jewel, Van Dyke Parks, Benmont Tench, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' horn section. Poltz -- who was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and lives in San Diego -- was actually approached to record a solo album even before the incredible success of "You Were Meant For Me." The A&R executive who signed Jewel to Atlantic, Jenny Price, wanted to sign Poltz to the label at the same time. He passed. Price later moved to Mercury and again approached Poltz; he then said yes. "He is an amazing live performer," says Price, VP of A&R at Mercury. "He brings the record to life live, which is something a lot of artists can't do." Poltz says he wasn't ready to sign with Atlantic at the time he was asked. "I have this wild side in me that wanted to, but I was having too much fun driving around the country in a van [with the Rugburns]," he explains. "It's easy to hide behind humor and the moniker of the Rugburns, but it's scary to lay your heart out on the line. I'm a wuss." It must be pointed out how vastly different the Rugburns' music is from Poltz's solo material. The Rugburns wrote hilarious songs with such silly titles as "Pile On The Hangover" and "My Carphone's On The Pill," and Poltz performed them many times donned in a dress. In contrast, Poltz's solo material is more serious and sentimental. "I think the true Rugburns fans are going to be really into [the new album], because every Rugburns album had a few sensitive songs," says Poltz. "But I'm sure for some it won't be their cup of tea. And to them I say, 'I'll do another Rugburns album, but for now I hope you like this.'" Michael Halloran, PD at XHRM San Diego, says Poltz is "one part Neil Young, one part Loudon Wainwright, three-quarters Randy Newman, and two parts James Taylor, Jonathan Richman, and Bob Dylan. He's that troubadour guy with the guitar who can go out and play any street corner." That's exactly what Poltz did before forming the Rugburns. He set out with his guitar for Europe and played street corners. After his return to the U.S., he formed the Rugburns. They recorded three albums: "Morning Wood" (Bizarre Planet, 1993), "Mommy, I'm Sorry" EP (Bizarre Planet, 1994), and "Taking The World By Donkey" (Priority, 1995). A few years ago, Poltz met Jewel and gave the singer her first break at the Innerchange Coffeehouse in San Diego; that eventually led her to a record deal. She even co-wrote a Rugburns song ("Old Lover's House") and appeared in the band's video for "Hitchhiker Joe." Jewel returned the favor when she signed with Atlantic by co-writing two of her album's songs with Poltz: "You Were Meant For Me" and "Adrian." Poltz also plays guitar on her album. For Poltz's album, Jewel co-wrote "Silver Lining" and "I Thought I Saw You Last Night"; she sings backing vocals on the latter and "Impala." [ed. note: Jewel also sings back-up on "Silver Lining"; and I think Steve said she wrote "One Left Shoe" with him.] With the connections between Jewel and Poltz, it's certainly natural that Mercury will want to tap into Jewel's fan base to help spread the word on "One Left Shoe." [ed. note: It really feels "weird" to be typing this out.] "People certainly know his face because of the 'You Were Meant For Me' video and the VH1 ["Hard Rock Live" Jewel] special," says Ken Weinstein, director of product development at Mercury. "His middle name is 'That Guy In The Video,' but hopefully that'll turn around. We need to connect the dots out there for people." Even if Poltz didn't have the Jewel connection, Bob Bell, new-release buyer for the 225-store, Torrance, Calif.-based Wherehouse Entertainment chain, says his album would still make it. "It's strong enough," he says. "It will happen regardless of who he's worked with before." Weinstein is tentatively planning to have Poltz embark on a "living room tour" at the homes of "Jewel's World Wide Web site fans, who call themselves the Everyday Angels. "We want to get to those people because Steve's all over the Everyday Angels' Web site," he says. "We'd want him to play a coffeehouse at night, and earlier in the day he'd play a living room of one of the Angel's houses. Nothing's been put in motion yet, though." The label also wants to make sure Poltz hits the markets in which the Rugburns opened up for Jewel in early 1997. On Tuesday (2/10), Poltz, who is booked by Creative Artists Agency, heads out for a West Coast and Southwest tour. More dates will follow closer to the album's March release date. "We're going to be very mindful of his hometown San Diego, too," says Weinstein. "We're looking at doing a midnight event there and a big party the week of release, including one or two small theater shows." In addition, a promotional EP will be available to press and radio and as an added-value piece at retail. That CD features three songs on "One Left Shoe" and three bonus tracks (Poltz's acoustic version of "You Were Meant For Me," "Satan's Choir," and "Nice Guys Finish Last"). The Paul Simon-ish first single, "Silver Lining," will officially be serviced to college radio on Monday (2/9) and to triple-A, mainstream rock, and modern rock on Feb. 16. Top 40 will follow. XHRM is already playing "Silver Lining" and receiving a positive response, says Halloran. He says the album has at least five songs that can be worked to radio.

Then I looked up at the TV and saw part of the video for that song. Then they cut into an interview from the Blockbuster Rock Festival in July. (I can't believe she played Big Blue and I missed the show...long story.) So, anyways...there was a short little segment of various shots from her singing WWSYS and YWMFM at that show, and interviews fromthe same day. She said that she enjoyed playing at the larger stadiums sometimes becasue of the high energy level, but she is glad that she can also still play small clubs and coffee shops. There was another shot of her from what looked like the VH1 Crossroads thing from Vale, CO. (sp?) Unfortunately, it's not a tape or anything, It's the Wal-mart cable channel that is broadcast throughout their stores. So, go to your local Wal-mart and take a videocamera or something. (Jsut kidding!!!) It's in the electronic section that I saw it. Jenn ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #102 ***************************
