One Way Out

Melissa Etheridge

A time-capsule of gritty heartland rock. Reunited with her original band, Etheridge delivers unreleased 80s/90s gems with raw, harmonica-laced energy.

It's like finding a lost tape from 1992 that rocks harder than anything on the radio today.

A gritty, high-energy celebration of survival and musical roots.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The searing harmonica solo on the title track that bridges the gap between blues and arena rock.
The unvarnished grit in her voice during the bridge of Life Goes On, sounding like a private demo.
The tight, locked-in groove of the rhythm section on As Cool as You Try, capturing a band in peak sync.
