Jewel - Sweet and Wild

Jewel has mastered the art of reinvention. In the ’90s, the former Alaskan folkie switched formats and became a top-selling pop artist and a Lilith Tour favorite. Now Jewel, who lives on a Texas ranch with her bull-riding superstar husband Ty Murray, has morphed into a Nashville-style singer. Her sophomore country album features such radio-friendly tracks as the banjo-fueled “Ten” and the charming “Stay Here Forever.” But Jewel can also write honest songs like “Fading,” which deals movingly with the issue of aging.
