When this Alaskan decided to give up her day job and move into her Volkswagen van in 1993, she began an almost storybook ascendance to the upper echelon of singer-songwriters. Like so many other aspiring musicians with a guitar and a story to tell, Jewel is a keen observer of human behavior. But it is her voice, a classically-trained instrument that has developed far beyond Jewel's 22 years, that makes her debut album--much of which was recorded at Neil Young's Broken Arrow Ranch with pieces of his HARVEST MOON band--such a joy.
Jewel's is a special voice, one that can portray enormous emotional range with only slight alterations in color and texture. She sings "I'm Sensitive" with coy innocence, and gives the title track a biting, scolding quality. "Amen," the album's finale, is perhaps Jewel's most stunning vocal display, with her gorgeous, ethereal falsetto lifting us into a world where beautiful voices can speak volumes.

4 of 5 Boxful of Jewel's Thursday, June 23, 2005
Chris Eberlein from USA  

I like Jewel as much as the next person. I admire her talents, songwriting abilities and uber-poetic phrasing. '03's shockingly pop-like 0304 is NOT the folksy lived-in-a-van girl that we once all knew with her haunting ballads "Foolish Games" and "Hands," but here on her 1995 debut Pieces of You it becomes crystal clear: Jewel is IT. She has a sound reminiscent of her native Alaska and can compose soft sit-on-your-porch-and-strum-your-guitar melodies. Jewel's music is perfectly suited for listeners who'd like to just sit in their favorite chair with a cup of coffee, read a book and just mooch to the music. No wonder she played in coffeehouses - she's perfect for that setting and lifestyle, especially heard in "You Were Meant For Me." Though her overtly poetic-ness can spoil the mood at times, it is her raw, fresh sound that pulls this record through. Pieces of You is indeed a boxful of Jewel's.
