Bruce Springsteen once said he intended to make an album with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector where he sang like Roy Orbison, a nifty summary of many, but not all, of his artistic ambitions and a key to his appeal.

An unrepentant believer in the power of classic rock and R&B, Melissa Etheridge sounded like a throwback to the 1970s when she delivered her eponymous debut in 1988. Her raspy delivery recalled that of Rod Stewart and her belief in the restorative power of rock & roll suggested peak Bruce Springsteen, while her commitment to lean, straight-ahead heartland rock aligned her with John Mellencamp. Etheridge would never abandon traditional rock & roll values but she found a way to not only keep these familiar sounds fresh, she found a way to make them personal. Much of this skill was evident on Melissa Etheridge, Brave and Crazy and Never Enough–the trio of records she released around the turn of the 1990s, albums that generated such rock radio hits as "Bring Me Some Water," "Similar Features," "No Souvenirs" and "Ain't It Heavy," the latter winning Etheridge her first Grammy–but her 1993 album Yes I Am is where she broke through into the mainstream. Just prior to its release, Etheridge became one of the first prominent rockers to come out publicly as a lesbian, an event that raised her public profile thereby bringing Yes I Am to a wider audience, one that turn the album into a multi-platinum blockbuster, spinning off the hits "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window."
