Despite being ranked 10th by RIAA, its a classic alongside albums from Hootie, GNR, and Nirvana. Jewel, once a homeless Alaskan, turned down a $1M signing bonus, sticking to her acoustic folk sound during the grunge era. She built a fanbase through 1000+ shows, selling a million albums a month for 15 months. Her career includes 4 Grammy noms, soundtracks, TV appearances, and her latest album Freewheelin Woman.
