Release Notes:

On her first album since being diagnosed with breast
cancer in 2004, Melissa Etheridge finds both a depth
and an ease that eluded her on previous releases.
She's never had a problem with passion -- which is
still present in boatloads here -- but now she has
discovered restraint, fun and the joys of pop.
"Message to Myself," the album's first single,
borrows sunny harmonies and a catchy chorus from the
Beatles, while a Stones-ish country-rock riff drives
"Threesome," a sly paean to fidelity.

Unsurprisingly, spirituality and a regard for life
in the here and now suffuse the album as well.
"Imagine That" protests the Iraq War and lauds Cindy
Sheehan, and "What Happens Tomorrow" envisions a
more equitable world. Quieter moments like "A Simple
Love," "I've Loved You Before" and "All There Is"
establish the place of individual relationships and
universal love in our lives. None of this feels
abstract. Etheridge's conviction -- not to mention
her muscular band -- conveys urgency, not piety. Her
illness means she's earned the right to explore the
big picture. But even if you had no idea of what
Etheridge has been through, The Awakening would
still rock your world.
