Jewel Shines Brightly in Cowboys & Indians Magazine

DALLAS, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Jewel - the platinum-selling recording artist known to millions of fans on a first-name basis - talks about her transition from folk-pop phenomenon to Country music chart-topper in the January issue of Cowboys & Indians, The Premier Magazine of the West. "As far as I'm concerned," she tells C&I, "I've been writing Country music my whole life. I've just been writing my version of Country music." Jewel also talks about life on the Texas ranch where she resides with her husband, retired rodeo superstar Ty Murray, who offers his own take on their happily-ever-aftering in a Q&A interview. What's the secret to their happiness together? "I think we really love and respect each other," Murray says, "and at the end of the day, we're each other's best friend."

Elsewhere in the January issue, now on sale at newsstands everywhere, author Michael Barson talks about "True West: An Illustrated Guide to the Heyday of the Western," his new book that celebrates "the West of our collective imaginations" while recalling the movies, TV shows and other pop-culture artifacts that "constitute the reality of the Old West more vividly than any 20 history texts could have."

But wait, there's more: Writer Ellise Pierce takes C&I readers along for the fun during a Country music pleasure cruise in the Caribbean with such stars as Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Patti Griffin; Hopi artist Kim Obrzut, one of the few prominent Native American women sculptors, describes her method of casting matriarchal values in bronze; and C&I contributor David Hofstede advises movie fans where they can access classic Westerns 24/7 on cable-TV and the Internet.
