Jewel Still Feels at Home in Country

Two years ago, Jewel released her first country album, Perfectly Clear, which made her an unintended part of a trend.
Her shift from pop singer-songwriter to country came at the same time that Darius Rucker and Jessica Simpson both attempted that move. Darius went gonzo with four hits from his album Learn To Live, which went platinum and led him to the Country Music Association’s New Artist of the Year award. Jessica never quite connected and moved along to other parts of the entertainment business.
