This siren-voiced folk-pop artist has never been afraid to experiment with genres—see 2003’s pop sojourn 0304—and on Perfectly Clear, she takes her first steps into country. It’s a good fit, with Jewel’s lyrical phrasing and twinkling balladry providing a healthy foundation for twanging steel guitar, fizzing fiddle, and Nashville-worthy storytelling. “Till It Feels Like Cheating” plays on bluesy riffs and lovelorn laments, while “Anyone But You,” with its economical poetry and Jewel’s beautiful, breathy vocals, nods to a golden age of ‘70s country-pop.
