Brave and Crazy, Melissa Etheridge's second album, came out on Island Records on September 11, 1989, the year after her self-titled debut had made her an underground favorite. She didn't wait around, and she didn't soften anything either: this is more of what got people talking in the first place, confessional songs pitched somewhere between folk-rock and bar-band roar, delivered in that raw, smoky rasp, with "You Can Sleep While I Drive" among them.
The album picked up 2 more Grammy nominations for her, and it kept on selling long after the fact: 632,000 copies in the United States by 2010, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
