JEWEL STUDIO ALBUMS

Pieces of You

Released 1995

Jewel’s debut album, “Pieces of You,” was a critical and commercial success, showcasing her folk-oriented musical style and poetic lyricism. The rawness of the tracks, combined with her hauntingly beautiful voice, brought a unique listening experience. Notably, the album features her hit single “Who Will Save Your Soul,” which catapulted her into the mainstream. “Pieces of You” became one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, attesting to Jewel’s undeniable talent and appeal.

I was teaching piano at the time and many of my younger female students wanted to learn her songs. I realized instantly that Jewel would become a big star because I saw how much my younger students loved her. The same exact thing happened about ten years later when my next generation of students wanted to learn the songs of a new singer called Taylor Swift.

The album featured Jewel on vocals and guitar, with additional musicians like Steve Poltz (guitar), and Jennifer Condos (bass). “Pieces of You” was produced by Ben Keith. It was released under the Atlantic Records label. The album was primarily recorded at The Innerchange, a coffeehouse in San Diego, and some studio tracks were recorded at Neil Young’s ranch, offering a blend of live recordings and studio-produced tracks between 1994 and 1995.
