Continuing my Journey through older stuff. In the 80's I absolutely listened to the harder stuff. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Ozzy. But I had a dark secret that I hid from my friends, because they'd never ever understand.

One of what I thought was the most talented and amazing bands that never ever had the success that they should have had and had a short life span. But they had a unique sound at the time that was tough to ignore with a mixture of pop/punk/country and blue grass revivial. I loved this band, and never got to see them live, though I did get to see Maria Mckee years later and she was amazing live.

But every once in a while, when I'm driving home from a bad day, or a long day, or if its Calgary Stampeded time, I'll fire this band up.

I'll even pull out my guitar once in a while and play the openers for "I found Love", or "Shelter" or "ways to be wicked".



I love Shelter because the background music is really strong and really helps McKee's voice which I would class a soft smokey



Sweet, Sweet Baby is just a fun song and its simple.



I found love, another fun fusion song that works really well in a bar setting. Or on a long drive with a cigarette hanging out the window.



Ways to be wicked which would be classed as their signature song.

Just as a bonus, this is a interview with Maria McKee where she talks about the break up of Lone Justice.
