5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing album - definitely her best!, February 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Brave & Crazy (Audio CD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her best by far, June 5, 2002

This review is from: Brave & Crazy (Audio CD)

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.

This review is from: Brave & Crazy (Audio CD)

I saw her at the "flats" in Cleveland almost 20 years ago, doing songs from her very first LP. She was jammin. I love her music cause it actually ses something. For me, it's about her music in and of itself-the stories. They have heart and soul. Sometimes they don't go the way you want them to..seems to be a lot of pain but it's real. I love the way she tells her stories. It's not about her sexual preference and its not about her stance on the political merry-go-round. If I want that, I'll watch the news. I just love all her music and this is one of the best, aside from her very first.
