Jewel is maintaining her country roots as she returns to the format with her sophomore (in the genre) album, Sweet and Wild. "The theme of this album is finding what's true about you and your life, and defending it and valuing it above all else," said Jewel. "My newest country album will share so many of my personal feelings of love and happiness that I have written into the songs," said Jewel, who married her longtime boyfriend Ty Murray in the summer of 2008.
Jewel will also embark on a tour sponsored by Country Financial to support Sweet and Wild.
