Music reviews of The Awakening Live
Music Review: Let it grow on you
Rating: 4 Stars
I suppose I am not different than many Etheridge fans. I came to her, when she was a guitar slinging rockstar that was all guts and glory on stage. Watching her sing "I am the only one" from the Woodstock stage i feel in love with her raw emotional power, and was forever changed. When she brokedown in 99 I felt her pain, and when she resurfaced with new Skin in 2002 I felt our rock diva was ready to reclaim her rightful throne as our immortal rock songstress. Then she got lucky, and was happy, and while I love my rock goddess happy, I also needed a little angst to get me through the night. Thank you for Breath. Shaken but not moved, we saw her triumph over the darkness her body possessed, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Awakening" was just that, an awakening. At first I hated this cd. I listened to it through twice and put it in my cd case to be forgotten and never listened to again. It was too emotional, too spiritual, too pretensious. Then a few months later I was taking a short road trip and mistakenly grabbed the cd, and while on the open road I fell in love with this album. Etheridge shows an emotional rawness that only comes with age and experience. I am sorry I didn't give the CD the respect it deserved.
"California" is a classic rock anthem that is sure to be concert favorite, it follows the unmistakable Etheridge guitar chord pattern that she is famous for. "An Unexpected Rain" was the Etheridge song I had waited years for her to write and the guitar riffs were hypnotic. "God is in the people" is a Joplinesc story song, she opens it with a monologue that follows into a great ballad.
I hope that if like me you have heard this album and dismissed it as a whining confessional of raw emotion you will take a day, hop in the car and give this album the attention it deserves
