Melissa Etheridge makes a welcome return to her rock roots with her 11th disc Fearless Love. The new disc came out this past Tuesday and is available as a digital download from Amazon.com for $3.99.

Melissa Etheridge’s new single, “Fearless Love,” a bold and soaring declaration for living - and loving - to the fullest, has struck a momentous chord as it soars inside the Top 30 this week on the Hot AC chart, and rises to #10 on the Triple A chart.



To make Fearless Love, Etheridge invited old friend John Shanks to produce and play guitar. “I like to tell people I discovered John Shanks,” she teases. “He toured as my guitar player on my very first tour and he worked with me from 1993 to 1999.” Shanks’ first production credit came when he co-produced Melissa’s 1999 effort, Breakdown. “ “After that he went on to produce Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette—he’s Mr. Pop guy now. He’s done quite well,” Notes Etheridge. The 2005 Grammy® winner for Producer of the Year has written with and produced an A+ list of stars including Carlos Santana, Celine Dion, Sting, Fleetwood Mac, Bon Jovi, Jewel, Robbie Robertson, Chris Isaak, Stevie Nicks, Keith Urban, Kelly Clarkson and Rod Stewart.

To promote the new disc, Melissa is making the round of network TV shows. Upcoming appearances include:

Apr 30 - Good Morning America ABC
Apr 30 - The View ABC
May 04 – Ellen
