Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

It's easy to see on This Way that Jewel wants to lighten up. With two previous multimillion-selling albums (and a couple of much-scorned but popular books) filled with earnest, clueless revelations behind her, the singer-songwriter comes a little closer to ground with This Way.

"Give it hell 'til the end," a former compatriot urges her on "Till We Run Out of Road", her version of Jackson Browne's "The Load Out". Could that be a hard-bitten road warrior deep inside the woman who makes a point of pronouncing the "O"'s in the opening line ("Mirror, mirror") of this album's "Serve the Ego"? Maybe. But despite her icky streak's spread to cutesy jokes ("Jesus Loves You"), Jewel hasn't quite abandoned her old judgmental ways (in "I Won't Walk Away", she spies a couple "resisting being one") and ambitions to, you know, really say something, as in the "Desolation Row"-lite "The New Wild West". Still, with some nice, if bland, arrangements set around her, This Way is the Jewel album most likely to appeal to Jewel non-fans. --Rickey Wright



Chronique amazon.fr

Dans le genre, This Way est une réussite. La voie qu'indique Jewel n'est pourtant nouvelle en rien ; bien au contraire, elle est un sommet de classicisme classieux comme en attendent les amateurs d'americana FM. La recette est parfaite et pas un boulon ne manque, de l'engagement des paroles qui renvoie à une certaine tradition du folk ("The New Wild West") au chouia de spiritualité bon chic bon genre ("Jesus Loves You") sans compter que la diva caracole, très à l'aise, dans tous les registres – qu'elle minaude d'une voix sensuelle ou qu'elle s'excite avec une pêche qui évoque le blues de certaines de ses consoeurs. À dire vrai, les portes du succès sont garanties à Jewel qui rappelle en bien des points Heather Nova. À 27 ans, elle signe un disque mature produit par le guitariste qui monte en 2002 : Dann Huff. Du mainstream de qualité qui devrait ravir fans de Tracy Chapman et Rickie Lee Jones. --Hervé Comte

5.0 out of 5 stars This Way, a new way for Jewel!, Jun 30 2002
By "asp2write" (E. Andover, NH) - See all my reviews
For Jewel fans world wide, This Way will fit right into your collection of favorites. The album combines her great writing and singing ability, with a fresher outlook.
She was able to ad a stronger, mainstream sound, without selling out to the pop revolution that's been revolting the world in the past few years.
She has dropped the meloncholic outlook, and turned her attention towards upbeat, fun songs.
The sounds vary from rock and roll, to country, yet all desisively Jewel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, Jun 30 2002
By Kelcony "katk303" (Penfield, NY United States) - See all my reviews
Jewel has always impressed me with her deep lyrics, impressive guitar playing and beautiful vocals. This Way is the same good stuff she's been producing for years, but with a lighter, more country attitude. Jewel's CD alternates between fast and slow. This Way is definitely a great buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good album, Jan 29 2004
This is my favorite Jewel album. The lyrics aren't too meandering (or at all) and the music is just nice and reflective. The ballads are what work best here. The title track is one of my favorites, even though in the liner notes she said she hated singing it. "I Wont Walk Away" is a nice jazzy kind of ballad. A lot of people don't like "Cleveland" because it's "too country", but I love it. I'd actually like to see her do a true country album. "Till We Run Out Of Road" and "Do You Want To Play" are other great ballads. A lot of people love "Serve The Ego", but I could take it or leave it. "Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone" is EXCELLENT. "Break Me" and "Standing Still" were great singles too. Overall a solid collection of music.
