Editorial Review:

It comes as no surprise that Jewel, an acclaimed American singer, songwriter, actress, poet, painter, philanthropist and daughter to an Alaskan cowboy singer-songwriter, finds herself in the embrace of country music for the release of her seventh career album, Perfectly Clear.
Nashville Connections
Jewel's personal odyssey, partly chronicled on one of the best selling debut albums of all time, the twelve-time platinum Pieces of You, comes full circle with her forthcoming country album, Perfectly Clear, the debut release on newly launched Nashville-based independent label The Valory Music Co.
Jewel is set apart her whole career for not only singing, but writing all her songs, and this album is no exception. "I've been writing country songs my whole career; some of the songs on this record date back to when I was 18 years old. I've been hanging on to them until now. They were meant for a record like this one."
The record's first single "Stronger Woman" is a powerful and positive message that resonates with women of any age. Perfectly Clear is produced by Jewel and John Rich of Big and Rich fame. "Jewel is probably one of the greatest American singer-songwriters we have. It is such an honor to work with anyone of that caliber of talent," Rich says. Jewel has spent a lot of time in Nashville over the last few years, and has naturally been drawn to and accepted by the Nashville music community. "If I were discovered today, there is no doubt that I would be signed as a country artist. Songs like "You Were Meant For Me" would have been a country hit today, and not a pop hit as it was in the 90s. The genres have changed more than I feel I have," says Jewel.

she is an artist, that's perfectly clear:

I enjoy each of her records. One more time jewel has given us a well written, sung and produced record. her spectacular voice shines thorugh all the album and after listenig the record I only can tell that she a real artist and that's perfectly clear.
Pay attention to the Perfectly clear track.

DISAPPOINTED:

I own several Jewel CD's and I thought, because I do like country music, that I would like this CD. I didn't think it had that much of a country sound, and it is a little boring to listen to. I listened to it about 3 or 4 times and don't think I will listen to it anymore.

A turn toward country, a look back to her roots:

Jewel is at her best when she's singing pop folk. She is a fantastic singers and an accomplished songwriter. Perfectly Clear though, takes Jewel out of her groove and back to her roots. Her father is a cowboy singer-songwriter, so it makes sense she'd try her hand in country music.
Jewel's seventh album is not her best, however. You really have to be into country music to like/love this one. As someone who enjoys country music, I enjoyed this, but I'm not sure mainstream Jewel fans will love this one.... more info

Perfectly Clear:

If you're a fan of Jewel's work, or not, certainly you'll be like of this album! The lyrics, the sound, everything is great! Another classic Jewel's stuff! You must buy it!
