Free Music Notes for Brave & Crazy
Free Music Review: A Melissa Etheridge Great As Always
Hit: 5 Stars
"Brave And Crazy" is Melissa Etheridge's sophmore album released in 1989. The songs and her performances are more raw and personal than her self-titled debut. Yet, she keeps her musical quality on top. This is only one of eight albums that proves that she is one of the greatest female rockers of all time. Her lyrics are always honest, which deserves her tremendous respect as an artist. She pours every drop of emotion through every note in every track. This forces listeners to feel her words. Melissa Etheridge once said in an interview that she felt more honest and lyrically free after she come out with her sexual orientation in 1993. She felt that this improved her music. Still, "Brave And Crazy" is amazing like her other seven albums. Whether she sings an upbeat song or a ballad, her performances stay on top. Her guitar playing matches the themes perfectly. Whether she writes hardcore rock, folk, pop, or blues, her songwriting always has the intense chemistry that keeps listeners interested. "Brave And Crazy" is a great album from a true rock artist that will keep people listening for a many more years.
Brave & Crazy Poster
Not a trace of the dreaded sophomore curse was to be found on Melissa Etheridge's second album. On Brave and Crazy, the throaty singer/guitarist/composer is slightly more reflective than on her first release, but no less confident. Nor is she is any less rootsy. Etheridge's earthiness is a large part of her appeal, and she uses it most advantageously on the gutsy rockers "Skin Deep" and "Let Me Go," as well as more reflective pieces such as "Testify," "You Used to Love to Dance" and "You Can Sleep While I Drive" (which, like a lot of Bruce Springsteen's songs, equates long drives with freedom and liberation). As introspective as things get on this CD, Etheridge never becomes wimpy or self-pitying. For all its vulnerability, Brave and Crazy is the work of someone who comes across as a survivor. ~ Alex HendersonFolk Music CDs
