Never Enough is the third album by singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released in 1992 (see 1992 in music). Stepping away from electric guitar-based rock and blues and toward such exploratory tunes as the piano-backed "The Letting Go," the beat- and sample-driven "2001," and the uncommonly poppy "Dance Without Sleeping," Etheridge proves she's not a one-riff musician. Never Enough offers Etheridge's trademark soul-twisting rock in the form of "Ain't it Heavy" and the angry, possessive of "It's for You." The provocative album cover features a topless Etheridge with her back to the viewer, a Danelectro guitar strapped to her back.
