Goodbye Alice In Wonderland

I'm so excited. I was going to wait until it actually came out to talk about it, but I figured, "What the hell?" On May 2, Jewel is going to be releasing her sixth album. As a huge fan of her first five, I'm going to be first in line to buy this one.

Jewel has experimented with a different sound on each of her albums. Though she started out with a very definite folk sound on her premiere album, Pieces of You, she has constantly changed her genre with each subsequent recording (even delving into techo/pop on her last CD, 0304); and she has morphed again, this time into what sounds rather like Country Music. And judging from just the few songs I've heard, I'd say she's done it rather well.

The first week of May is going to be a rather high point for me. On the second- Jewel's new album. On the sixth- orchestra seats to The Drowsy Chaperone. I hope I don't drop dead from anticipation during the last week of April. But with my luck, I wouldn't disregard it.
