Melissa Etheridge had wanted to perform at a prison for decades. In fact, she grew up within a stone's throw of a penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, where Johnny Cash performed in 1970. "Prisons must be a place of great entertainment," she thought to herself, "and someday I'm gonna grow up and play a prison." Decades later, after a string of platinum albums and multiple Grammy Awards, Etheridge fulfilled her wish. The concert is memorialized in a moving two-part docuseries, "I'm Not Broken" (available not on Paramount+) and a new live album, I'm Not Broken: Live at Topeka Correctional Facility. Melissa talks to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about how the show and series came together, her new song "A Burning Women," and why it was unlike any other concert she's ever performed.
