“One Way Out” is a collection of music written by Melissa Etheridge in the late 1980s and early 1990s that never made the cut. Until now. Etheridge stumbled upon these decades old songs/demos years ago while gathering materials for a box set. As she went through the songs, it brought her back to the start of her career and how they just weren’t right for that particular time or album.
Some of the tracks were written before she had even come out and never felt comfortable releasing them. In 2013, the singer found herself back at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with her original band (Fritz Lewak, John Shanks, Kevin McCormick) and would give these songs a new life.
Shortly after she finished the records, she would part ways with her label and the box set was shelved. Melissa would begin working on new material and once again, those songs were set aside. That is, until 2020 when the time was finally right.”
