"Who Will Save Your Soul" was the first song Jewel put out from her debut album, Pieces of You, and she wrote every word and note of it herself. Ben Keith produced, setting her up with Robbie Buchanan on piano, Spooner Oldham on keyboards, Tim Drummond on bass and Oscar Butterworth on drums, and the result is a loose, folky strut, half sermon and half street-corner sass.
It connected across North America and Australasia, reaching number 7 in Canada, 11 in the US, 14 in New Zealand and 27 in Australia. Geoff Moore shot the video in a women's restroom inside Los Angeles City Hall.
