Customer Reviews

An amazing album - definitely her best!
With this album, Melissa Etheridge displays her incredible talent for meshing an edgy beat with beautiful lyrics that are pure poetry. Her songs are intensely soulful and are about desire, passion, possibilities and finding & losing yourself. From the very cool "Brave and Crazy" track to the sexy - slow dance in front of a jukebox - "You Used to Love to Dance" to the hopeful "Testify" - every song on this cd is a keeper.

This is an album that will make you want to get in your car and hit the open road with the wind in your hair. I guarantee that if you do with this cd in your changer, you'll be drumming your fingers on the steering wheel and will be compelled to belt out the words from deep within yourself.

Her best by far
There is something about this CD that makes me love it more than anything she's ever done. In fact, it's one of my five favorite CDs of all time. The range of music, the quality of the lyrics, the sound, her voice -- everything comes together perfectly to create an amazing experience for the listener. Etheridge knows how to rock, as she shows in the title track, but she also has tremendous depth and soul, as shown in the plaintive, poignant ballads You Can Sleep While I Drive and You Used to Love to Dance. I particularly like the way Etheridge manages to add some songs which reflect a social conscience - specifically Testify, which is possibly my favorite song of all time -- while still keeping a personal, intimate feel to the songs. If you consider yourself a serious music fan, or even just a serious Etheridge fan, I think you need to add this CD to your collection. This is one of the gutsiest, most well done CDs I've ever heard.

How can I possibly be the first one to review this album????
Melissa Etheridge is a heroine to me - any public figure who is brave enough to be openly lesbian or gay in Reagan-Bush America is a hero. Few songs have ever been written that are more beautiful than "You Can Sleep While I Drive". I first came across it on CMT, when Trisha Yearwood covered it (very well, too), but it's a Melissa Etheridge song, and if she's brave and crazy, then I like me some brave and crazy. Go, Melissa - go, girl. Ain't much better than you.
