...opera and choral styles in her rendition of "Gloria." The adaptation of guitar to fit the organ's instrumentation provides an updated feel to this variation of Bach's B-minor Mass. The crux of this album is "Gospel Medley." The word "medley" may evokes memories of 5th grade chorus, but this listener was pleasantly surprised to hear the interwoven melodies of the traditional standard "Go Tell it on a Mountain," Jewel's own "Life Uncommon" (from Spirit) and Bette Midler's "From a Distance."

Scrawny, undernourished models peek out from billboards adjacent to giant signs announcing the return of Wendy's Bacon Mushroom Melt. We are told to "Have it your way!"
