Title: Not as personal as Peices, but a nice follow up
Product review: I wish that jewel had returned to the same coffe shop she recorded "peices of you" in, and made her second album there. This album does not have the local-artist-just-having-fun-with-a-guitar-and-an-audience vibe that made her first album so wonderfully personal and friendly. I also noticed she does not have as many ballads as "peices" did, and at times she sounds almost jaded, but she is obviously a talented singer/songwriter that could become another joni mitchell/bob dylan if she returns to the intimacy of "peices". Some of the tracks on Spirit reflect the carefree local feeling of her debut album, such as "Do You" and "Innocence Maintained" but some of her songs, such as "Enter from the East" and "Hands" sound more like Ricki Lee Jones than Jewel. I defintly recomend buying peices of you first, because it is more personal than Spirit and it is more than just another live album.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
