The Medicine Show is the 15th studio album by American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge.

The album was released on April 12, 2019, by Concord Records and her own MLE Music.

[1][2] The Medicine Show follows a 2016 collection of soul covers MEmphis Rock and Soul that connected with Etheridge's roots as a music fan.

While promoting that release, she became concerned about the political climate of the United States and felt compelled to write new music that reflected the historic times after the 2016 United States presidential election.

[3] The Medicine Show received generally positive reviews from critics.
