Product Description
Description
Melissa Etheridge was the obvious choice to induct Janis Joplin into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1995. After all,precious few mainstream rock artists of the 1990's revel inthe kind of outward emotional turmoil that was Joplin's calling card, but Etheridge is one of those remaining true believers. Her songs have always pinned down unfaithful lovers, declared smoldering but forbidden desires, and stated her heart's trials and tribulations on the wings of rootsy big-rock reminiscent of Springsteen, Adams and Seger, all without the slightest trace of irony. YOUR LITTLE SECRET continues her straightforward ways, at times padding these tales with anelectrified six-string crunch.
Without a moment to catcha breath, the opening title-track drops the listener directly into the storm of Etheridge's private life. Fronting a hard-rocking, stripped-down four-piece band, the singer has seldom sounded as convincing as when she insists that her lover "stop playing those eyes" and explodes with wordless vocalgrowls. Partially abandoning the acoustic guitar-based sound of her previous releases also energises the driving "I Really Like You", on which she tries to tempt her lover with mangos ("your favourite fruit"), and adds a mean streak to themid-tempo "Nowhere To Go", a Boss-like journey into a lonely Midwestern heart.
Most of the time, though, YOUR LITTLESECRET is Etheridge doing what she does best--implanting acoustic-minded, folk-rock songs with filled and unfulfilled physical cravings. Some mask these desires in metaphoric images ("Shriner's Park" and "This War Is Over"), others revel in their seeming candidness ("I Want To Come Over", "Unusual Kiss"), but the passionate delivery that is the singer's inheritance from Joplin is evident throughout.
