A precious commodity

Article Abstract:

Singer/songwriter Jewel Kilcher admits to not being happy with some of her work. However, she has gained a considerable following in the US, and some of her songs are greatly admired for their simple clarity. She had a difficult childhood, and was exposed to the more negative aspects of life at an early age. She worked in harsh conditions and experienced serious illness before she reached a stage where she was able to focus on writing songs.

Rose who endured a life of thorns

Article Abstract:

Tim Rose has faced many challenges during his career as a singer and songwriter. Most significantly, he lost the song 'Hey, Joe' to Jimmy Hendrix, and turned down Bob Dylan's song 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right.' He went through periods when it was very difficult to find work, and for some time was forced to earn money by singing advertising jingles. However, he has now been able to launch a new LP, 'Haunted.'

How to survive the mainstream

Article Abstract:

Entering the world of mainstream pop music can be very bewildering for someone from humble origins, according to singer/songwriter Tasmin Archer. She has a very attractive singing voice, but still lacks confidence in her appearance and abilities. She has a sound which combines pop, soul and rock, and this has yet to reach full maturity. Her latest album, 'Bloom,' contains rich melodies and melacholic lyrics.
