I've been meaning to get round to playing and featuring some Lone Justice for a few weeks now ever since my Thrum post with it's comparisons between the vocals of Monica Queen and Maria McKee
I knew that I had their second album Shelter from 1986 on the Geffen label but was pleasantly surprised to find that I also had their 1985 self titled debut which is one I cannot remember buying.
I'll get round to that one in due course but first a couple of Maria McKee compositions from Shelter as that is the one I am most familiar with.
Probably a bit more poppy (and a slightly less successful one than the first one) it has production from the band, Steve Van Zandt and Jimmy Iovine
Maria left to go solo shortly thereafter.
Lone Justice - Wheels
Lone Justice - Dixie Storms
Not as good as the first album but not without merit. Lone Justice were magic live.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I'm big fan of Maria's first few solo albums too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I only have the first album but have always wondered about this one.
