GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, New York Times best-selling author, actress, poet, philanthropist, and mental health expert, Jewel, today released a previously-unreleased live version of her platinum-certified hit single, Who Will Save Your Soul, in advance of the much-anticipated reissue of her seminal debut album, Pieces of You. The live edition of this pivotal song was recorded at the Inner Change Coffee House in San Diego, CA – where Jewel was discovered and first earned her performance stripes. Who Will Save Your Soul also led to Jewel’s commercial breakthrough and was the first track released from the LP, which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Songs Chart, and No. 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. The track also scored a 1997 GRAMMY nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, with the official music video landing two 1996 MTV Video Music Award nominations for Best Female Video and Best New Artist in a Video.
For Record Store Day’s 2020 Black Friday Event, Jewel will also be unveiling a Live at the Inner Change LP. This previously unreleased live performance from 1994 offers fans a chance to hear Jewel nearly two years before she became an international sensation, in the place where the promising young artist honed her craft. The two-LP set features remastered audio from the legendary engineer, Bernie Grundman, and includes early versions of such favorites as Morning Song, I’m Sensitive, and Who Will Save Your Soul. Limited to 3,000 units, each individually-numbered album includes a replica of the original show flyer, designed by Jewel herself.
In the liner notes for the forthcoming Pieces of You 25th anniversary reissue, Inner Change owner Nancy Porter recalls, “This is where [Jewel] really built herself, developed her music, and I think everyone felt that. And the bigger the crowd got, the better she got… People would come in and just be in awe.”
The 25th anniversary package of Pieces of You will be released on Friday, November 20 via Craft Recordings and is available to pre-order here. Across four compact discs, the tracks collected on the limited-edition box set offer the opportunity to trace the evolution of certain key songs on the album, like Who Will Save Your Soul – in addition to the live version, fans can hear the solo demo version; the unedited master take from the album sessions, with the Stray Gators backing her; and the final album version. It’s a remarkable look at the development of a signature song and allows us insight into the vision that carried Jewel to the top and then supported a career for 25 years. Also available will be Deluxe 2-CD and 4-LP editions, and the 25th anniversary digital album will be available in time with the physical formats, offering the complete audio content from the 4-CD box set release. Full track listings for each format are below.
In celebration of the reissue, Jewel will also be holding a Pieces of You LIVE virtual concert on Friday, November 20 – the first time ever that the album will be played in its entirety from front to back. Tickets are available here. A VIP package for the show is available for purchase as well, which features a Q&A with Jewel and access to performances of songs not featured in the regular set. All VIP ticket proceeds from the concert will be donated to Jewel’s non-profit, the Inspiring Children Foundation and Voices of Hwǫłdzil (Resilience) – Adabi Healing Center, a community-based domestic violence and sexual assault crisis intervention and prevention program, providing advocacy, prevention, and a safe home network to victims and survivors of intimate partner violence in the Chinle Agency and surrounding areas of the Navajo Nation.
