Review: Lullaby by Jewel

The american composer fills with an angelical voice and the subtle sounds of her guitar each song of the album

Who would have thought that Traditional Lullabies for kids will be the secret to create an album?
For Jewel, the formula absolutely worked out and the result is Lullaby, which despite of being released in may 2009 it has become a classic now.

With well-produced arrangements by Jason "Turtle" Freese and the use of a broad variety of instruments such as the accordion, triangle and the Mellotron, the 10 original Jewel's compositions plus 5 classic tracks give the album a touch of the traditional country music.

As you listen to the album you will discover the magic of the lyrics of each song and you will definitely just let it go by the subtle sounds of Jewel's voice.
The album includes the all-time classics Somewhere over the rainbow, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Brahms' Lullaby.

It has been now 15 years of the beginning of the Alaska born, Jewel, who started her career as a ballad singer with the chart topping hit You were meant for me.
Few years later she went into pop and released catchy songs like Intuition and Standing Still, but for the past 3, 4 years her direction in music has pointed to country music.

Lullaby can be listened by all ages and surely anyone can discover the touching power of the talented Jewel, three times nominee for the Grammy Awards.
