@@chuckschillingvideos I was kind of lucky growing up in the 60'& 70's with older brothers and sisters, college late 70's in Chicago, Marine Corps in the 80's. I was always surrounded by people from all over the place with different tastes, so we were always playing stuff for each other and looking for music above and beyond the top 40. Not that we didn't listen to it but top 40 was only one part of what we listened to.

I don't think Maria has ever been in it for the money. I think all she has ever really asked for is to be given the opportunity to make the kind of music she has wanted to make, which has obviously evolved over the years.

Simply amazing band!! I keep Lone Justice and Maria McKee in my song rotation even now. Their rockabilly sound has not aged one bit. It's like a huge breeze of fresh air hitting your soul every time a Lone Justice song plays. I swear they're among my most favorite bands ever. Their sound was just right and it remains so. The record company they were signed with really missed the mark with them. They would've been huge. Even so, there are those of us old enough to remember their incredible talent and amazing sound. They flew through our lives like a comet ........

I’m pushing sixty. Loved the band, and especially Maria McKee. You could tell that she was born to perform, and absolutely loved performing. I hate the “industry”, and what they did to the band, and to Ms. McKee. They Killed something inside her, because of their greed and lack of real understanding. If you read these comments Ms. McKee, I watch you often, and am never disappointed. I hope you are well. Respects from Canada. I apologize if I offended you.

betpow Never been too keen on U2 either and apart from that 16s rhythm thing happening I don't hear much similarity. However, much as I like Lone Justice's more trad Americana stuff, I thought that their excursions into far less traveled musical waters on the second LP and especially on McKee's _'Life Is Sweet'_ solo LP were even more exciting.

A sublime performance of 'Shelter'. I'm Scottish and worshipped Maria when she was in Lone Justice. I remember seeing them in the Kentish Town and Country Club in London in '86..and being utterly mesmerised. It doesn't seem right that they vanished so quickly. I continued to follow Maria's solo career, but it's Lone Justice that really got me excited.

She sang 'belfrey' because she wasn't "ringing" in a New Year, but ringing out an Old year : "you have to sin to be saved" as her solo album next said. Her sailor dress represented that she wasn't running from the past to the future but the scary future to the past (deja vu can be experienced by everyone when the temporal lobe is activated -- as -- our Life Contract is well "fully lived" before we incarnate on Earth (read the angel book by Sylvia Browne to see "which" angel makes us "view" our assignment).

In a perfect world super talented people who are "goofy and a bit of a nut" would have people around them to run interference and take care of business so they can keep being goofy and just do what they were put on the earth to do.
