Jewel Sets Movie, Holiday Album, CMA Dates
Folk songstress Jewel is currently sprinting around the East Coast on
her "Spirit" Tour, and she's booked herself a full fall itinerary to keep
her busy when the outing is over.
Her first feature film, the Civil War drama "Ride With The Devil,"
will be unveiled at the International Film Festival in Toronto, which
runs from September 9 to 18. The tentative theatrical release is
scheduled for November 5. Jewel stars in the Ang Lee film as a
character named Sue Lee Shelly in the film along side co-stars Skeet
Ulrich ("Scream"), Tobey Maguire ("Pleasantville"), Jonathan
Rhys-Myers ("Velvet Goldmine") and Jeffrey Wright ("Basquiat"),
among others (see "Jewel Jumps To Big Screen").
Jewel will also be making an additional foray into the world of
country music. The singer will be dueting with country legend Merle
Haggard at the Country Music Awards, which is being staged at the
Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on September 22. The pair is featured
on two songs on Haggard's forthcoming retrospective album, "Merle
Haggard: For The Record," due for release August 24 (see "Jewel
Duets With Merle Haggard 'For The Record'").
And "Billboard" reports that Atlantic Records has set a tentative
release date of November 9 for Jewel's Christmas album (see
"Jewel Sets Sights On Christmas Album"). The CD, produced
by Arif Mardin, will include classics like "Silent Night," "Hark! The
Herald Angels Sing," "Joy To The World," "Ave Maria," and
"Winter Wonderland," as well as a Christmas version of Jewel's hit
"Hands" and a gospel medley of "Go Tell It On The Mountain," "Life
Uncommon," and Julie Gold's "From A Distance."
In the meantime, Jewel's current radio single "Jupiter" is being
released to stores internationally on August 17. The CD single will
feature the new studio recording of "Jupiter" along with two other
tracks: "Deep Water," recorded live at Fox Radio in Melbourne
Australia earlier this year, and a live recording of "Emily."
