I almost bought some moose poop jewelry in Alaska!

Thanks for posting!

Mooseses (Moosei? *shrug*) and I will never get along. That's just facts. Because:

1. They'll kick you - not a fair way of fighting. If you ever get in a bar fight with a guy and his opening move is to kick you square in the chest... Well, you're in for some dirty scrapping. It's probably going to involve biting. That's never a good thing. Might even get your ear Mike Tyson'd.

2. If I was a big giant moose, I'd be embarrassed to be pooping out pellets. I mean come on, you're a giant furry animal?!? I'd be laying some serious logs! (even if I was just eating berries.) It would be like that Bono episode of South Park. There'd be pictures on my Insta and I'd be calling up the Guinness Book of World Records. (Now that I think about it - Maybe, I should stop shaving my chest?)

I think the scarf/head thing is a good thing!

You think wrong.

Is this surprising tho? I was under the impression it might never be released!

At least this is something.. right?

Feels like a couple years it's been coming. No More Tears was spring 2020 and that was the first "taste" of the new record coming out "any minute." It's quite a delay! There must be some serious promo requirements or something to compensate the record company investment. Something like that. I slept through that class.

I see what you did there! putting it out of context.

Jewel’s anticipated upcoming album Freewheelin’ Woman, which reflects her personal and musical evolution of “being on this side of life,” as she lovingly calls her current chapter, will be released in Spring 2022

Allison Kugel: Tell me about the new music.

Jewel: I have a new album called Freewheeling Woman coming out. This was the first record I’ve written from scratch. Even with my first album I had 100’s of songs already written by the age of eighteen, so I would always just take songs out of my back catalogue, whether it was pop, country, or whatever. I didn’t want to do that for this one even though I have a lot of songs in my back catalog that I love. I wanted this new album to be written from the ground up and reflect who I am now. I think I was forty-five when I was writing it and it was hard! I see now why middle-aged artists do a lot of drugs (laugh).

Allison Kugel: Oh man (laughs).

Jewel: They do it to bypass the work that it takes to get past the domestic architecture that had gotten into me, and to find a new, honest, raw, but different new place creatively. I think I wrote two hundred songs for this album to get the 12 or 14 that I like. It has a more soul feel. Kind of like a Muscles Shoals soul feel. I’m singing very differently than I’ve sung. Singing a lot better than I’ve ever sung and its sort of a celebration. I’m 47 now but it feels fun to be just like on my side of life. I enjoy it (Laugh)

I don't like how she completely forgets her processess haha. 0304 was also written from scratch...

jewelwiki · « **Reply #28 on:** October 09, 2021, 07:54:22 AM »

I was thinking the same, Fabio!

I was gonna say she sorta recycled Fragile Heart for that album, but looking at the original, it's a completely new song with like one shared line.

First thing I thought of was Fragile Heart! But yeah... it's different....

Jewel: A (Happy) Freewheelin’ Woman

Quote

Even though singer/songwriter Jewel has been noted as a particularly gifted writer for more than 25 years, she still found ways to explore new artistic territory with her thirteenth studio album, Freewheelin’ Woman, due out this fall. [uhhh, no????]

“It’s the first time I ever challenged myself to write a record from scratch,” Jewel says. “I always have thousands of songs in my back catalog, and so I was always able to just instantly have at least ten songs that I was going to use for a record in any genre.” This time, however, she decided to do things differently. “I wanted it to be exactly who and where I was now,” Jewel explains.

Lyrically, Jewel explores themes of independence, womanhood, hope, and heartbreak in these new songs. Musically, Freewheelin’ Woman is perhaps her most stylistically diverse album, encompassing folk, pop, and R&B. “The record is definitely showing influences I haven’t been able to pay homage to before,” she says. “A lot of the Muscle Shoals sound and Dusty Springfield and Sarah Vaughan—stuff that I was very obsessed with when I was between thirteen and fifteen [years old].”

EDIT: Release is Spring 2022 - not Fall 2021. The article is using some old info.

Nice find, Jess! And I like most of the songs we've heard her preview during Live from San Quarantine or on Instagram (especially Almost). Looking forward to how they sound here!

The Apple Tracklist has No More Tears as a duet with Hootie from the Blowfish. I wonder if that's legit?

It is DEFINITELY a different version from previous release, but I never did hear Darius Rucker in the preview.

There's a translucent orange vinyl up for pre-order on Jewel's site. It's very reasonably priced, but won't ship until late 2020: https://shop.jeweljk.com/products/freewheelin-woman-vinyl

Hi everyone! It’s great to see some familiar names again… it’s been at least 15 years since I was active on a Jewel forum! Anyhoo, has anybody else noticed they took the track samples off of iTunes, and Amazon? I wanted to play the one of Alibis for my wife, because I swear I’ve heard that before and was wondering if it was a cover. I’m excited for this new album, and it will be here before we know it.

Jessica · « **Reply #39 on:** February 25, 2022, 08:14:49 PM »

Frick, I knew I should have recorded that!

I did not recognize Alibi as a cover.

Welcome, kjm!
