In fact, if the Eagles had been a modern band, they would definitely be considered country. Jewel and Merle Haggard singing Silver Wings was awesome. Her voice is great for "classic country" style music.

I was totally chill wid tha transitions of her genre like, POY - Folk (AWESOME!) Spirit - Folk Rock Pop (LOVE IT!) Joy - Holiday ( ROX MY SOCKS!) This Way - Rock (I LOOOOOVE IT!) 0304 - Pop ( OMG MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!! SCRRRREEEEAAAMMM!!!!!) next record - COUNTRY (EXCUSE AS I THROW UP) i personally hate country, but i mean, what 15 year old likes country anyway?? some people love country, and i respect that, the little bit of country on this way was chill 2, but 4 a whole record!? i think she should do these genres - ROCK POP FOLK and a little country, but not COUNTRY COUNTRY COUNTRY!

Yes, Live Like You Were Dying is an incredible song, and Tim McGraw is an incredible artist (that kindergarten joke was not funny). Next time keep your comments to yourself.

She's always been folk/bluegrass, that is very different from country. I've had people try to say that Jewel was country and I always argue it. I love folk and bluegrass music, I can't stand country, trust me- there is a difference. Take it from a true southerner, country is some western new fanggled creation, it's nothing like the bluegrass festival she is partaking in, we have nothing to worry about. And stop calling my bluegrass country!! :-) The Vegan Angel _________________________ WhatWouldJewelDo@aol.com wrote:Its like a white trash holiday!

But wait - is this a country festival? I doubt it...

The Telluride Bluegrass Festival is a bluegrass festival in the loosest sense of the term. They have had many different artists from all sorts of genres over the years. The same is true this year. I've seen many of these acts live. I'd love to be able to make a trip to Colorado for this festival. Bobby McFerrin - acapella jazz - NOTHING he's done has ever been called country or bluegrass. It's just nice to see him back on tour. He had hung it up for a long time. I haven't seen him since he played with Stanley Jordan (the one tiime Stanley had a band with him) and Michel Petruciani. Now THAT was a night of music. (Extra bonus points if you know who Michel and Stanley are without a google search) Jean-Luc Ponty - electric violin that lends itself more to jazz than anything most of the time (next are you going to try to tell me that Dave Matthews is country because there is an electric violin in his band?) Stanley Clarke - plays a mean Jazz bass Jean-Luc and Stanley are playing with Bela Fleck - THAT is a trio to see. Bela plays the banjo. But, it's very much the same as simply saying John Popper plays the harmonica. He takes the banjo places it's never been. If they weren't coming to my town I'd damn near travel just for these three artists playing together. Trust me - there's far more jazz going on there than anything. Leo Kottke - This is a hodgepodge of so many styles of guitar that it's hard to label him as one type of musician over another. One song will be clearly jazz, the next bluegrass, the next will have so many elements of so many styles that you just can't label it. Try "Vaseline Machine Gun" on for size. If that's country, then we could only hope that every body playing guitar for a country artist could play it like that. I suppose Michael Hedges is country too? Emmylou Harris - All I'm going to say is, if you're going to attempt to pigeonhole Emmylou and not listen to her because you've pre-judged her music as being country - and heaven for bid you listen to country - then you're doing yourself a great disservice. Gillian Welch - funny - the last time I saw her she didn't sound country - do you guys know somehting I don't know? John Butler - you can't get further from country - at least not with an eleven-string guitar. Ok - there's not a lot to be said to defend some of these other artists. But, they don't NEED defending. We can be closed-minded and label music and refuse to listen to genres that bear labels we THINK we don't like. Or we can open our minds and realize that there is a ton of GREAT music out there that we haven't heard yet. Personally - I stopped worrying about labels a long time ago. Hell, when I picked up Pieces of You it shocked most people who knew me. On any given day I can be found in ANY section of the music store. I'll put anything in my CD player. Hell, the other day it was John Hiatt, then Tool. This is a MUSIC festival that happens to bear a bluegrass name because that is its tradition. Anyone who is nearby enough - I encourage you to go and check it out. I bet you leave with CDs you never would have expected you'd buy before you got there. That's the beautiful thing about dropping the labels and opening our minds, we're able to listen to ANYTHING and enjoy it, instead of cringing because - OH MY GOD, DON'T PUT THAT CD ON, THAT CAME OUT OF THE COUNTRY BIN!!
