1980s - #2: Maria Mckee was the lead singer for Lone Justice, and is the voice that powered one of my favorite, and one of the most under rated tunes, in rock history. The tune Shelter, from the album of the same name, has every quality of a #1 single, yet it barely cracked the top 40. Maybe that's why soon after the song was released, McKee broke up Lone Justice and started a solo career. She released her self-titled debut album on June 1989, which received glowing reviews from the Washington Post, New Musical Express, and Melody maker.  This FM broadcast captures her on tour in spport of that first album, on November 11, 1989, 3 dozen years ago today.

Earlier this month, we brought you Lone Justice on tour in 1987 in support of their album Shelter. Soon after the release of that disc, lead singer Maria McKee broke up the band, opting to puruse a solo career.  She released her self titled debut album in 1989, and I caught her live that year, in Septemeber, leading in for Neil Young.  This FM broadcast captures her around the time of her first album's release, on June 27, 1989,  in Amsterdam. Maria plays 4 tracks from her new disc, but finishes with a Line Justice classic, Shelter!

Maria McKee - 1989-09-19 - Washington DC (FM)

Our final post today features Maria Mckee, who appeared at the first two Farm Aid concerts. She was at the inaugural event in 1985 fronting Lone Justice, though their set was left off the national television broadcast due to circumstances beyond their control. In Sammy Hagar’s autobiography Red, he told the story about the first Farm Aid in 1985, where he first appeared on stage with Eddie Van Halen. Hagar let the “F-word” slip out, prompting the end of the live telecast, right before Lone Justice was set to hit the stage! Maria was back solo the next year, joining John Mellencamp for a version of Pink Houses.

This FM broadcast captures Maria a few years later, in Washington DC on September 19, 1989, 27 years ago today.
