Jewel's debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice--strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common with, say, the Indigo Girls or Lisa Loeb than with Judy Collins or Nanci Griffith. Despite her soft soprano and pretty melodies, her songs have an iconoclastic edge which make her more of an unplugged alternative rocker than a folkie. Her songs too often betray their origins as written verse in their hard-to-sing meters, unmusical phrasing, and diary-like pronouncements. Nonetheless, a few numbers, such as "Morning Song" and "You Were Meant for Me," show a spark of humor about romance, and hint that Jewel may yet write songs worthy of her remarkable voice. --Geoffrey Himes

Summary: 14 years and still my favorite... 2009-03-24
Comment: This is truly Jewel at her best and most honest. Her haunting voice, the simplicity in the music.
I celebrate Jewel's music most because she writes ALL of her own work. She truly is a musician...one of the few surviving.

Summary: Unmatched Debut 2009-02-05
Comment: Jewel is without doubt one of my favourite artists alive today. I have this CD over 10yrs now and have just starting listening to it again. It brought back all of the feelings that I got from the first time I listened to it. There is somthing pure and naive about this album, but the lyrical content and beautiful melodies defy that fact that she was only 16yrs old (i think!), when she recorded it. Tracks such as 'You Were Meant for Me', 'Pieces of You' and the beautiful 'Foolish Games' do stand the test of time and are heart rendering. Classic debut, unmatched in it's entirity by anything she has written or recorded since. Thoroughly Recommended..I don't give 5-Star ratings easily..Enjoy

Summary: Crossover Country 2008-09-21
Comment: The artist Jewel is really a country- pop crossover, sent in several years after its actual 19994 release to clean up MTV and be the main American-Euro rock star. Her material here is incredibly simple, not even basic folk music. A following release This Way just defined country, but this here is the major label debut. I like it, not love it, This Way is much better, it just defined country.
