After the raw power of her debut album, Brave and Crazy takes a more polished approach to bring out Melissa's true songwriting talent. The title track, with it's unusal percussion and bass is easily the stand-out track for me. From the heartbreaking You Can Sleep While I Drive to the rocking Skin Deep, it's an album of extreme emotions and styles. The final track, Royal Station 4/16, cleverly mixes Melissa's hissing breath with the wailing steam-whistle guitar, and rounding off the ensemble with Bono's guest spot on the harmonica. It says something about the style and verve of Melissa Etheridge, when she invites such a big name vocalist like Bono on to her album, and then asks him to play the harmonica! A truely wonderful album, generally overlooked in favour of her first, is a treasure that should be in the collection of anyone who enjoys a songwriter of quite unusal depth and severity, and a voice to match.

Brave and Crazy is no manufactured music. Melissa seems to feel every note and word. Full of hard-edged, sometimes tortured emotion, but never wet or soppy.
You know when you find an album you feel is perfect? I first discovered this about 15 years ago - thought it was perfect then, and still think so today.
If you like intelligent rock you'll probably love this.

This was one of the last vinyl albums I bought. Played it a lot. Haven't really followed her career, but from track one, it sounds fresh. Though heavily produced, it's obvious that her songwriting and the tightness of her band were terrific. Doesn't feel dated (like lots of the other albums I've rebought from that era do). I push this to everyone I know - they don't all love it like I do, but there's no accounting for taste! A keeper.
