Folk rock album with plenty of jewel n guitar, 2008-10-28
I first heard of Jewel from the MTV unplugged at late night. I was very curious about the chick with a guitar doing her solo gig. I've to admit that I didn't like her music at first in the Unplugged. Later when this album 'Spirit' released. I got her CD and I loved it. The full band tracks is ex. Hands, Down so Long ... are incredible. Acoustic sound is crisp, kick drum really kicks. The quality of sound back then 10 years ago is even better than some of her records to date.
I watched her performed 'Jupiter' on Letterman. Her band played a totally different version of the song. I still can't seem to find that newer version of the song anywhere. Anyways, it's a nice song. Love it.
If you don't know Jewel and wish to get to know her music, I'd recommend this album to you. It has a bit of rock edge to it.
SPIRITual, 2008-03-06
This is a collection of spiritual soft pop music. Jewel did it again with "Hands" and "Down So Long." Jewel can sing in s little girls voice and in a baritone/tenor voice as well which helps make her so talented. If you like pop music and religious references, then this album is for you.

Great Jewel Cd, 2007-01-08
This CD delivers. Jewel makes great CDs... her first CD is the best, but this one is a close second. With tracks like Hands, Down So Long, and Deep Water, Jewel is timeless.... the first 9 tracks are the best. Great purchase.

some rhythm in the madness, 2007-01-02
Jewel's voice is unmistakable.
It either draws one in with ineffable appeal, or puts one off in the way of people who try a little too hard.
This reviewer puts this down to the combination of fine skills and a twist of artistic narcissism that seems to penetrate the lady's art. Marshall McLuhan famously claimed that 'the medium is the message'. Jewel often seems to be forcing a message into an art form that is not exactly fitted to the effort.
Yet she sometimes breaks through to persuasiveness, even with a tune that is heavily laden with message ('Hands').
It may be that this artist with the stunning good looks and the almost eery voice will remain a musical enigma, the twin impulses she generates creating two distinct publics, one highly devoted to her every album, the other cynical and generative of nasty-minded anti-Jewel websites.
She has styled herself a kind of troubadour of the religion of tolerant niceness. This is all good, as far as it goes. Yet it inevitably wears thin when its definition of either religion, tolerance, or niceness bumps into others that it finds incomprehensible. An artist who stays to conventional themes runs little risk of this happening. But Jewel, like the dinner guest who brings up religion, politics, or sex at the dinner table, will doubtless continue to find herself called upon to articulate her convictions. That tends to make art messy, ideological, and short-lived.
Yet just when one begins to fear the worst, she ends an album with a hauntingly gorgeous love song like 'Absence of Fear', its gentle piano intro setting the stage for a humble, poignant, and yearning piece. Enigma indeed.
Let's hope Jewel's considerable gifts trump any dire artistic turn of events and that she continues to toss off the striking hit ever year or two.
