A Joy!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lucky (Audio CD)
I have to agree with the person who asked why Melissa isn't a household name over here. No-one I talk to seems to have heard of her! Thankfully that hasn't stopped her from scheduling a concert here to coincide with this album.I own all of Melissa's albums and until this was released, Skin was my favourite. I also didn't think Skin could be topped. But she managed it. This is a beautiful, personal and joyous album. It's wonderful to witness her happiness which seems to thread its way infectiously through the songs here. Breathe is the first song on one of Melissa's albums that she didn't actually pen but it has to be one of my favourites. The cheeky Secret Agent is also one of my personal favourites. Also Tuesday Morning which chokes me up. Oh, and of course, Giant which is so inspiring and truly elicits the spirit of gay pride. Oh, who am I kidding? I love them all!

Melissa Etheridge - Lucky,
By
This review is from: Lucky (Audio CD)
'Lucky' was released in 2004 as the follow up to 2001's 'skin'. The songs on 'Skin' were all written after the break-up of the 12yr relationship with her partner. It followed the journey from the start of a break-up to the point where one sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
'Lucky' is almost like chapter 2 of a book that started with 'Skin'. Melissa found love not long after releasing 'Skin' and the new album is a testament to her new found romance together with the joy and insecurities love brings. The songs dont have the bittersweet undertones you find in most of her music and most are pretty upbeat, rocky and fun to sing along to. However, there are a couple of beautiful slow songs with words to melt any heart. If you are a fan of the previous works of Melissa Etheridge prepare to be shocked by the upbeat nature of this album. It is a very new style for Ms Etheridge but after a few listens the album will definitely grow on you. The only track i skip virtually every time i listen is 'secret agent'.... Oh, and little trivia that i read somewhere....it's the first album of hers to ever include a song she hasn't played some part in writing - 'breathe'.

Evolution?,

This review is from: Lucky (Audio CD)
Oh Melissa, how can we not like you? Ok, you came out publicly with a little help from your friends, but this album's the real deal. Gone are the sexually ambiguous lyrics (even on the excellent 'Yes I am' we were never really sure), the veiled references to the bigots out there that you began in 'Scarecrow', and the difficulty you've had in reconciling the All American Girl with the gay lifestyle. 'Lucky' kicks off with real enthusiasm, pulls no punches, and does so well what Springsteen managed all those years ago: to kick your leaders up the backside and still sound patriotic. Not only that but your love life doesn't sound like a Ted Hughes poem anymore. Nice album by the way.
