 Jewel has one of the most awesome voices I've ever heard. You can't really get the total effect from a CD. Go see her in concert. It will really move you. Anyway, the CD is pretty good. The songs are sooo pretty. Even though it's a pretty girly CD, it's still one I would recommend.

I got this CD a few years ago because I had liked "You Were Meant For Me" and "Foolish Games" and wanted to hear more. The first time I listened to the CD, I was really disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I like her and everything, but the CD lacks a certain magical something that lights up a CD and keeps you listening to it. The lyrics are bland and boring, few songs are what I would call meaningful, and the CD basically sounds like a collection of old folk songs that you're likely to forget rather than remember. You get used to her sound and the songs eventually, but this CD just isn't worth the hassle of trying to like it. Save your money for something better.
Of the CD's I purchase last year, this is the only one that I play consistently. Jewel's voice is unusual and versatile, her lyrics strong, and the variety of music makes this CD one that stays in my car's CD changer. I only wish she had the Batman version of Foolish Games. I like the slower tempo.
