Reviews:

''Goodbye Alice in Wonderland'' is the fifth album by singer-songwriter Jewel, released in 2006. The album marks a return to her musical roots after ''0304'', and trying to write an autobiographical album like she did with ''Pieces of You''. The album was written in the form of a novel with each track representing a chapter. Although the first official single was "Again & Again," the title track "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland" debuted a month earlier on her website as an Internet exclusive. The second single, "Good Day" was released to radio in late June, 2006. The next single is "Stephenville, TX". A video for it can be seen on Yahoo! Launch.

The album made its debut at #8 on the Billboard 200, with sales of 82,000 copies its first week, and became Jewel's fifth top 10 album in the United States. However, after only 12 weeks the album slid out of the Billboard 200. The album reappeared one week later after heavy promotion on various talk shows. It sold 377,000 copies in the U.S. as of June 2010.

Jewel stated she had plans to re-release the album, but her record company would not let her. However, they did allow her to release two singles in 2007. The first single was "Stephenville, TX", which was considered a commercial failure. - Wikipedia

All the gossip about Jewels Kathleen Turner-esque gods-gift-to-men trip was way more entertaining than her music until she went all Madge/discotheque on 0304. Ms. Kilcher herself says this ones even more autobiographical than debut Pieces of You, so maybe were in line for something more folksy. Hopefully not yodel-y.
