"There aren't many blues-rockers who write like Springsteen and sing like Joplin.
But there aren't many superstars like Melissa Etheridge."
  Dan Aquilante ~ The New York Post

"Lest there be no mistake, Etheridge is a rocker as American as Bruce Springsteen, as rugged as Ronnie Van Zant and as soulful as Etta James." Shawn Telford, Seattle-based freelance writer

"If there was one moment, one person who shocked it back to life and gave rock a brief glimmer of hope, if only for a few moments, it was Melissa Etheridge... her voice - a sex-dripping, soul-wrenching instrument that expressed everything it means to be alive." - Mike Bell, Calgary Sun

"What a tribute to womanhood. I thought she was giving all of us a big piece of her heart -- slinging her guitar and singing her heart out in tribute to Janis Joplin. Etheridge gave one of the all-time great Grammy performances... This is a woman of music -- a brave woman of music -- who did women proud." - Hazel Smith, CMT.com
