Subject: "Solo -- Women Singer-Songwriters - In Their Own Words" (book w/ Jewel) Sender: owner-jewel@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Forwarded from ecto. So don't be emailin me askin me nuthin! Horter ******************* I received my copy of this 368-page softcover book in yesterday's mail and although I haven't sat down to read it cover to cover yet, it looks pretty good. It includes lots of black and white portraits of each artist. Here are the artists who tell about their lives and how they got started in music. In order of appearance: Sarah McLachlan/Shawn Colvin/Jonatha Brooke/Cassandra Wilson/ Ani DiFranco/Mary Lou Lord/Mary Chapin Carpenter/Suzanne Vega/ Holly Palmer/Joan Osborne/Lucy Kaplansky/Jewel/Rosanne Cash/ Dionne Farris/Sheryl Crow/Lucinda Williams/Catie Curtis/ Kate Campbell/Rosanne Raneri According to the authors, the books was written in response to the often-heard complaint that there is now a glut of female artists. Here's a brief excerpt from the introduction: "SOLO provides the space for each artist to exercise her singular way of saying things. Why should we assume that the experiences of Suzanne Vega, who grew up in East Harlem to the taunts of 'You're the whitest girl I've ever seen,' and those of Kate Campbell who was raised as the daughter of a socially progressive Baptist preacher in rural Mississippi, would somehow say the same things?.....It's this rich variety that defines these women who have so masterfuly responded to their worlds with indelible takes on what it means to be human. These artists are far more serious about their work than they are generally given credit for, however much their music is lauded, and more insightful about subjects as far-flung as politics, aesthetics, and love, both in and outside their songs, than we could know from short reviews crowded under attention-grabbing headlines. Whether it's dionne Farris speaking about the limitations she's faced......or Jewel reflecting on her unexpected celebrity..., the depth, intelligence, and self-searching expressed here are the sources, in such eclectic and provocative ways, for the music itself. It's no surprise that the writers who give our own emotions and experiences shape through their songs convey such substance and insight, as if implicitly rejecting the skewed values of a pop world more likely to notice a steel brassiere than a literate turn of phrase...." The authors are Emma Dodge Hanson and Marc Woodworth, who "live on a farm near Saratoga Springs, New York. Emma is a photographer whose portraits of artists and writers have appeared in The New York Times, Poets and Writers, USA Today, The Oxford American, and elsewhere. Marc is associated editor of Salmagundi and lectures in the Department of English at Skidmore College. His poems appear in The Paris Review and other magazines. This is their first book." The book is available through www.amazon.com.

My name is Debi (call me Debs!) and I am 15, I live in Kansas and I loooooooooove Jewel! I am also on the INdigo GIrls list, but I Think that Jewel is cooler. HEr poetry moves me. What is her religion? IN my opinion she is the best poet ever. And her music moves me. MY fave is "You Were Meant For mE." She is so deep and her voice is nice. I want to go to a Jewel concert. BUt my Mom won't Let me ggo to concerts. MY other favorite people are Marilyn Manson (I admire him) and Amy Rae and Emily Saleers who are the INdigo Girl. I have to go now. I'll chat about JEwel later. DEDS :) > ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V3 #429 ***************************
