Jewel's first full length movie. Ride With the Devil is a groundbreaking piece from acclaimed director Ang Lee (who brought us The Ice Storm and Sense and Sensibility). The film examines the frontier wars on the Kansas/Missouri border during the Civil War. A complex tale of uneasy alliances along the Kansas/Missouri border during the Civil War, Ride with the Devil concerns Jack Bull Chiles (Skeet Ulrich), a proud son of the South ready to fight for the Confederate cause after his father is killed by Union troops. Chiles's best friend, Jake Roedel (Tobey Maguire), joins the Bushwhackers, a group of renegade Southerners aligned with the Confederate Army, even though his family supports the Union cause. The two young men, used to the slow pace and gracious lifestyle of the South's privileged class, are soon confronted with the chaos of battle. Their comrades include valiant leader Black John (James Caviezel), paranoid madman Pitt (Jonathan Rhys Myers), Southern gentleman George (Simon Baker), and Daniel (Jeffrey Wright), a slave from George's plantation. The Bushwhackers hide out in a barn near the home of Sue Lee (singer/songwriter/poet Jewel, in her film debut), a pregnant widow whose husband died in battle three weeks after their marriage. Roedel and Sue Lee begin a chaste romance, but it remains to be seen if the war will permit them to stay together. Adapted from the novel Woe to Live On by Daniel Woodrell, Ride with the Devil was directed by Ang Lee, whose previous project was a very different look at America's past, the 1970s domestic drama The Ice Storm (1997).

Jewel is featured in five tracks of this incredible Lilith Fair Collection. Two exclusive Jewel tracks are Morning Song and Near You Always. Jewel joins Indigo Girls & Sarah McLachlan in Water is Wide and performs Closer to Fine with Indigo Girls, Meredith Brooks, and Sarah McLachlan. Other artists include Sheryl Crow and Shawn Colvin. Big Yellow Taxi features all artists as well as Jewel yodeling. This documentary by Buffy Childerhose chronicles the first all-female music tour in the annals of time. The Lilith festivals took place outdoors over the summer of 1997, playing to sold-out audiences comprised of both women and men. The enthusiastic response from a mixed gender audience should have set to rest the resistance of the male-dominated concert tour industry, which persists in the idea that the musical artistry of women is not marketable. The name Lilith was appropriate, which is the mythological, biblical, and astrological name of the woman who dared to believe in her own equality and defied the patriarchal god. Interviews with musician/Lilith Fair founder Sarah McLachlan, as well as other artists, gives insight into the difficult and rewarding process of putting together this production Highlights of the Lilith Fair performances include musical offerings from the Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Meredith Brooks, Shawn Colvin, and Sarah McLachlan.
