Melissa Etheridge - Your Little Secret

On her fifth album, Melissa tries even harder to become the distaff John Mellencamp or Springsteen, chronicling this American life. In many ways, it is a very autobiographical journey she took, to the places of her childhood in Kansas, like "Shriner's Park." Even if it doesn't contain her best songs, it is ambitious and well-realized and definitely confirms her as America's leading female rock & roll artist. --Chris Nickson Amazon.com

Pure Melissa

I've been debating with myself which albums I'd take to a deserted island. This is one of them. Melissa has many great albums. To me she's one of the artists that have the most wholesome discography. It's a bit of a battle to say which one of her albums I like the best but I would say it's this one. The album seems to be in the beautiful crossroads, something old and something new, though most of her material is pretty time-defying. Your Little Secret is like an emotional movie that takes you on a journey and tells you your life story. It's a powerful, rocking, radio-friendly/melodic (but never tame), touching entity. The album embraces the gamut of Melissa Etheridge's work. To me this is Melissa Etheridge. June 6, 2006

Your Little Secret: What do lesbians do on the second date?

The album is, in my opinion, her best. I love the music, the lyrics. Melissa is a mediocre artist at best, but this album tells a story that we can all identify with GBLTQ and not. An oldie but a goodie! Do not keep this a secret!! :) October 7, 2005

Full charged rock and roll! Heavy on the guitars!

Melissa's '93 album won all the awards and commercial radio airplay, but this 1995 album is really the kicker! Melissa's not taking any mess here on this album! Heavy on the guitars on most of the songs, this is full blown rock and roll that can make her male competition sit down and take note! I still love Your Little Secret, especially the very end where she screams like wild and then the guitars blast so loud at the end, the amplifiers might have self destructed! They were onto Come Over a lot, but I very much like the rockers more. Just turn it up on this one, because Melissa's not having it here!!!!!! October 20, 2004

This is the Cd that introduced me to a whole new world....

Being from a small town, I always wondered if there were other people out there like me. I heard "Nowhere to Go" on VH1 and I thought, Hey, this is a cool song, the artist seems pretty mysterious too!! I bought the cd and wore it out!!! I became a huge fan after that. Listening to her lyrics I could relate to everything on this cd and for that, all of her songs she's ever written. If you are interested in buying a Melissa cd, this is the one to buy for first timers... you'll never get enough of this one... Hope you enjoy!! May 14, 2004

ROCKS HARDER EVERY ALBUM!

One of the icon's of the 90's rock music, Etheridge follow up to her blockbuster smash hit album "Yes I Am", different from her previous is that "Your Little Secret" it's harder and more rock that ever, her leading single the title song it's justa great example of what I'm talking about, a rock song and it fully extent, the second delivery "I Want To Come Over2 it's one of the most intimate songs for Melissa and one of her top in music interpretation, such a masterpiece and classic tune, just the beginning of the song tells you everything, "Nowhere To Go" a little sad and melancolic that drives you to a story of incomprehended love, "Unusual Kiss" silly lyrics with great rock performance, "I Realy Like You" Rock! Rock!, this album is one of those that will live you wanting more....great delivery. March 30, 2004
