THIS WAY represents an extraordinary leap forward in Jewel's artistry, as songwriter, singer, and musician. Recorded in Nashville, the album was produced by Dann Huff and Jewel, marking her first work as a producer. One of the top guitarists in the business, Huff has become a much in-demand producer in recent years, with a diverse list of credits which range from Megadeth to Faith Hill. The album includes the first single, "Standing Still," which was co-written by Jewel and Rick Nowles (Madonna, *NSYNC). "I wanted to focus on the craft of performing and songwriting," says Jewel. "I've always been a live musician, and I wanted my voice to shine through. At the same time, I hope to stay relevant as a writer, which means staying honest about where you are. The most important thing to me is maintaining my authenticity. I'll always be curious musically and want to try new things, but above all, I want the music to sound honest and good in 20 years." Certified Platinum by the RIAA. (4/02)
