Jewel is releasing a new album!  Picking Up The Pieces will be a 14-track folk album that brings her back to her roots.  The Alaskan native produced the album herself, using many of Neil Young’s collaborators for the recordings which includes a duet with Dolly Parton.

“This is just me. These are my thoughts. These are my feelings. This is my poetry,” Jewel said. “It really felt like returning to a part of me that I didn’t mean to lose, but with time and relationships and life and surviving and dealing, you take on new things and not all of them are great.”

Jewel said she wanted to make an album where she didn’t feel “diluted”: “I was trying to keep my mind quiet and honestly get back to something I feel like I’d lost touch with in my life. It was really an exercise in shutting out fear. I was giving myself permission to be exactly who and what I was.”
