About this album
Melissa Etheridge is a striking debut that established her as a major new voice in late-1980s rock. Released in 1988, the album blends blues grit with acoustic-led songcraft, giving Etheridge the space to turn tough, personal lyrics into direct, magnetic performances. Produced by Eric Rick Chertoff and Hugh Padgham, it introduced the husky vocal style and emotional candour that would define her career. Songs such as Similar Features, Like the Way I Do and Bring Me Some Water helped the record connect beyond the rock market, with the latter becoming her breakthrough and earning Grammy recognition. It remains one of the key debut albums of its era.
