A singer-songwriter poet coming out amidst the heyday of radio rock was the farthest thing from a surefire hit -- but here were are nearly 30 years from her debut album talking about Jewel's "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Hands." As the artist reveals on this episode of The Story Behind the Song podcast, her success came down to a lot of hard work and perseverance, from her early days playing bars in Alaska to keeping her faith and learning lessons through periods of being unhoused.

Listen to Jewel discuss her career and the background of both "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Hands" by checking out the full episode of The Story Behind the Song wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/StoryBehindThe...

Jewel will hopefully play these songs alongside her other hits when she goes on tour with Melissa Etheridge this summer. Get tickets here: https://stubhub.prf.hn/l/gxLmkda
