From a USA Today piece on how many rock musicians "in transition," including Bon Jovi and Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker, are plying their trade in Nashville:
"If you heard You Were Meant for Me today, you'd think it was a country song," says Jewel, who has recorded in Nashville previously. "I don't think I'm changing as much as the new alternative radio is country radio. You can hear really diverse things, from traditional, hard-core country sounds to more modern pop sounds like Rascal Flatts, which is almost more pop than I am."
Oh, Jewel, you scamp! Now we're very excited for LeN and Marcy Playground to go twang. Just one question, though--where does "Intuition" fit in?
