Jewel, A New Label, A New Genre

It's confirmed. Jewel is going Country. Well, the self-proclaimed singer/songwriter and storyteller claimed she's always been country. It's the genre she wanted to pursue in her past albums but her old label were scared to venture into it. Now that Jewel signed with a Nashville based label, Valory Music Company for a multi-album deal, she's ready to spread her wings. So to speak.

"If I had been discovered now, living in my car in San Diego, I think I would have been signed as a country act," she maintains. "As a singer/songwriter and as a storyteller, I'm old fashioned. I like a beginning middle and end to my songs. That's pretty much just country radio now."

I sure hope Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Reba McIntyre, Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain and other Country stars welcome Jewel with their open arms. I think Jewel can do anything. Well, dunno about Metal though. :)
