At age six Jewel Kilcher performed with her family in clubs in Alaska. At 18 she wound up in San Diego writing songs while living in her van. At 22 she had already toured with Bob Dylan and Neil Young and had a debut album, 1995's Pieces Of You, which sold more than 11 million copies. Since then there's been the huge, best-selling book of poetry, two more multi-platinum albums, and three more fatiguing years on the road. Now 27, Jewel is about to release This Way, a return to her raw, folk-country roots recorded in Nashville. Despite her glammed-up image of the past five years, the Jewel on our cover is who she really is: an onstage natural who is most at home in Rancho Santa Fe at the house she shares with her mother, or at the Texas ranch of her boyfriend, rodeo champion Ty Murray, where, she says, laughing, "I castrate cattle on my days off." - LISA ROBINSON
