Summary of Jewel - A Life Uncommon

Jewel: A Life Uncommon is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary artist. Covering the first seven years of her phenomenal career, the camera follows Jewel from her early start in the coffee houses of San Diego, to her conquest of America and the writing and recording of "Spirit," her second CD. Contains live performances of "Barcelona," "Deep Water," "Down," "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone," "What's Simple is True," "Down So Long" and "Who Will Save Your Soul." Three bonus songs

Jewel is precious. Not just a lame pun, but an accurate enough description of the Jewel Kilcher presented in this hourlong 1999 program, which mixes concert material with interviews, older performance footage, biographical material, etc. (plus three bonus songs from the same '99 show). Problem is, while Jewel's Alaska upbringing and rise to stardom may be uncommon, the same can't be said for her music. She has a fine voice, one that projects power and purity both solo and backed by a rockin' band, but her songs are on the pedestrian side, laced with earnest but sophomoric aphorisms (e.g., "What's Simple Is True") better suited to a college coffee house than the concert stage. And all in all, the disc is more promo than documentary, what with glowing testimonials from her mother, record company chief, agent, and tour manager. Jewel fans will be delighted, but don't look for A Life Uncommon to gain her many converts. --Sam Graham
