"We are overcome with happiness – it really is as great as everyone told us it would be – better even!" (April 25, 2006)

For Jewel, it's new child, new children's album.

"I wanted to write an album for my son that would grow with him through different stages of development," the singer and judge on Bravo's "Platinum Hit" said in a statement. And "I wanted an album parents would love, too, with quality production and well-crafted songs that could entertain the whole family -- instead of leaving parents to cringe every time the 'kids' record came on."
There should be little to no cringing with "Merry." The album's 16 tracks are filled with that Jewel-like lilt that made "You Were Meant for Me" such a hit. And she includes such classics as "Oh! Susanna" and "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" -- fitting, for her, after those years of living in Alaska.
