Awesome!
I went on to find a Joss Stone song and discovered a duet (live performance) she did with Joss Stone. I first heard Melissa Etheridge on Youtube. When I heard her powerful voice I immediately forgot that I was on there for Joss Stone. I had to know: who was that bald headed woman? Melissa's stage presence and delivery was so strong, I had to find out more about her. Once I learned that this performance was post her bout with cancer I was even more impressed by her.

This is the first Melissa Etheridge CD that I have listened to. In fact, I think this is my first Amazon review. All I can say is that she is awesome. All the songs on this album are a hit! no fillers. My only regret is that I never paid attention to her music all this time; what a loss for me. My favorites, if forced to choose: Lucky, Mercy, This Moment, Tuesday Morning, Giant, Kiss Me. Obviously I can't choose!.


I AM A GIANT
Melissa pushes the envelope with such raw talent. This is a production that should have been named, "I AM A GIANT". . . . augh, I just LOVE this album. Music is certainly a personal taste item, but I would be surprised to find too many who were not thrilled with this album. Rocksy, bluesy, a little introspective. This woman has guts and I just love her for it.

I'm Surprised
(Sorry, bit of pet peeve rant there. You know, I just hate to stick my neck out and go against what seems to be the main trend in reviews on an album, because I know it's gonna get a bunch of "not helpful" votes since people seem intent on rating a review not by how actually helpful or not it is, but by whether or not it regurgitates their own personal opionion. )

So anyway, I'm really surprised that the majority of reviews for this album are so overwhelmingly not just positive, but raving about how great it is. It's an okay album. I don't think there's anything critically wrong with it, but honestly, I just don't see anything incredibly great about it either. It has mostly left me feeling blah.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge Melissa fan and have been since her debut album. Maybe if I was a more casual fan I would have liked this album better, but it just doesn't feel like anywhere near her best effort. I do really like some of the songs, such as the title song "Lucky". "Will You Still Love Me" is one of my favorites that Melissa has done, "When You Find the One" is really pretty, and "Mercy" made it onto one of my custom Melissa playlists. I also like "Giant" when in certain moods. The rest I rarely to never listen to and don't feel my life is any less complete because of it.

In the end, whether an album is a good to great album or not is dependant on how it all fits together, not just on individual songs. And in that respect Lucky seems more like an album that has just been slapped together than one that has been carefully crafted. So that's me sticking my neck out and waiting for all the negative votes. But sometimes a reasoned dissenting point of view is needed to help those wondering whether they should lay out the cash for a CD or not. My opinion for this one is to just buy and download the individual songs you want and skip the CD.


A soulfull surprise
I bought this album originaly for one song, "Breath" but I found myself being drawn into all of 13 tracks. The album,"Lucky" was a real surprise. This is one of those sleeper CD's that you want to recomened to everyone but, the lyrics are so personal you still want to keep it to yourself. All the songs on "Lucky" are a moving tribute to life, liberty, and the pursute of it all. THANKS MELISSA!.


Awesome As Always!
I love that she puts her heart right out there. I love the passion Melissa sings with.
My favorite song on this album is Tuesday Morning. It sent chills down my spine. Such an awesome message! Go Melissa!! .
