Lone Justice - Soap, Soup And Salvation

[@mikeholtzclaw3995]

Maria McKee goes on the short list of the most electrifying live performers ever in American music.

[@stpeteaustin]

Back when MTV played good live music

[@bcal4877]

Lol. Back when MTV played music

[@doughoback5226]

This world needs more Lone Justice

[@MarkyDSahdd]

They have a new album coming out this year!

[@keelyemerine-mix1051]

This woman could sing a carbuertor-repair manual and give me chills. What a voice, what a presence.

[@daffyduck4797]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeforster2348]

What a band! You can just sing a song, or you can put on a show - goodness me, Maria knows how to put on a show!

[@jameskallend4874]

dang! a dingity dangity dang! that kicked ass.

[@bananaramamark]

Maria is one of only a few singers that sound as good live, as they do on the studio recording :)

[@fundies2]

And often times BETTER live than the recording.

[@keifermark]

Saw her twice live. Was amazing.

[@stuartmeltzer2594]

This is a truly incredible performance.

[@alanalda9686]

Only two albums from this band, a true tragedy. What could have been.

[@MarkyDSahdd]

A third is on the way.

[@tmc28]

Maria always brings life to every live performance.

[@joshuabrown2521]

There’s no amount of money I wouldn’t have paid to see them live. God, Maria, what a woman.

[@gmartinz01]

And I did! They were great.

[@gmartinz01]

I did. Fantastic and frantic. They were horribly guided by their record company. They were also a generation ahead of their time.

[@gibsondrummer]

Maria was incredible , i was massively in love with her ! my girl friends name was also maria so i would have left maria for maria !

[@silvsk]

I saw her twice. It is still a daily memory

[@anthonyhall2483]

I saw them a couple of times. Once at the Manchester International 1 around end of 1986 I think and then saw Maria on her own with a small band a couple of years later in a tiny pub venue in Nottingham. Maybe also saw her at Rock City around the same time - great live band I was introduced to by my older brother.

[@shastamoon3354]

Lone Justice

[@bumzigan]

I am loving this band and the the talent of Maria McKee is mind blowing, What a singer and entertainer, I know she has done some great things since, but if Maria had had good record company support, she and Lone Justice could have easily been a massive success.

[@cehiggins.author]

Well, the band was signed to a major-label deal, and Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's band had a heavy influence on that great first record. But I don't think anyone knew what to do with Maria as an artist. She looked amazing and had an outstanding voice and presence. But the whole cowpunk thing - while big on the LA club circuit at the time - just didn't translate nationally for whatever reason. And so, she kind of fell through the cracks at the arena-rock level.

[@summerfield9187]

Time for a Lone Justice Reunion!!

[@jezebeljones659]

This woman! This band! Like a hurricane...a good one, not a horrible one.

[@Michael-mm3fm]

To somewhere safer where the feeling stays

[@trailingarm63]

Like a country rock version of Blondie. This track hardly does them justice! I loved their sound, but the band never escaped its cow-punching niche. This was a surprise to me as The Eagles had certainly opened the door. Blondie's sound was New York urban and easily surfed the punk/new wave scene from city to city.

[@dekelanson5280]

Maria is so cute. I love the faces she makes as she sings.

[@theblackflame4002]

Maria was my um...go to girl back in my teens

[@ラエル-e6p]

Maria Mckee is an impossible angel

[@michaelstruckus564]

She's great, but the whole band is as well. Perfect!

[@Andsaca1]

T he band were immense!

[@chipsterb4946]

Michael Struckus - the bass player and drummer here are awesome, but the original 2 guitarists are missing if I’m not mistaken.

[@scottsterling7481]

The great Shane Fontayne on lead guitar.

[@jamesmcfadden6781]

The sweet little angel of Rock and Roll.

[@lideresbrasfortzoologico7306]

Eles respeitavam o gospel como ritimo originario do qual veio o blues o jazz o rock o metal e etc...

[@84moto47]

I think that they were one and only rockncountry band in the world.I still love them. （lm sorry l don’t understand English well）

[@bodeghost]

Love the drummer's energy... @ 5:59 watch that 'ol stick break, or perhaps it flew out of his hand, yet, he grabs another & never misses a beat! I really miss those glorious 80's when there was so much great "indie" rock at the time but the industry wasn't quite ready yet to unleash its brilliance! 😉 🎶 🍀 💜

[@gibsondrummer]

My band Scruffy the Cat did a show with them in the early days When were both called “Cowpunk” bands I had a huge crush on Maria They got massively fucked over by the music business

[@rolen121271]

I remember you guys!! I used to play you on my college radio show

[@gibsondrummer]

Frank Heffelfinger thankyou for helping my career , Maria McKee sure was a cutie eh? They were a good band too

[@soulkiss1001]

how did other bands make it but lone justice got discriminated against?

[@achn2b]

Everybody had a huge crush on Maria. And yeah, they got screwed over good. Think I met you once when I saw Scruffy play at, I think, Geno's in Portland Maine.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

@@soulkiss1001 You're expecting justice in the music business? Ain't no such thing.

[@glennhfriedman4571]

Gregg Sutton, beret , on guitar and harmony vocals

[@Andsaca1]

Love Lone Justice!!! Met Maria in Tower records, Glasgow (Best record store Scotland will ever have!) 1991 or 1992, she's an angel with an amazing voice!

[@johnharrison2766]

Nowhere else does music like this but the states. Awesome.

[@knightthedarkknight9804]

The singer has a great voice and very cute!

[@krisscanlon4051]

She's is something else...they don't make em like that anymore or even ever lol

[@openseekeroftruth7497]

Goddess

[@johnabramson1031]

They were so good,. They were rocker. They should have exploded on n the rock scene. Alas. Bad, bad luck

[@brad4511]

When MTV was actually all about music. Today?😓

[@MkeKen67]

Why do I get the feeling the folks in Alabama Shakes saw this at some point and said "YES!"

[@bcal4877]

I remember falling in love with her after they were on SNL in 1985. So talented, so cute, so sexy…..then I moved to NYC in 1987, met a girl who wasn’t in a band, wasn’t famous, but was just as cute, just as sexy, but very talented, very cute, very sexy….reminded me of Maria….very happy to say next year is our 30th anniversary…..

[@elmorevandodewaard544]

Love MariaMcKee !!!

[@eightiesmusic1984]

Real Gone Kid- Deacon Blue. Ricky Ross wrote the song after seeing Lone Justice live.

[@22Phantasm]

I am gobsmacked ! This performance is a mind-f@ck ! And I love it !

[@everettbinder2796]

She can belt it out with anyone one on one.

[@mijymotor]

Pentecostal! Love it!

[@MkeKen67]

I love her Ed Grimley dance. (around 2:38)

[@andrewclarke9817]

This brillant preformance, this his right here is the reason music sucks right now. Producers who think they know everything try to get perfection in the studio. Lone justice albulms could never capture anything close to their live performances. Dear Jimmy Iovine, you should have just pressed play on the tape recorder and walked the f away. This band should have been #1.

[@betpow]

Mad Maria

[@markpanopoulos4722]

We played Lone Justice at CFMU FM 93.3 McMaster University in The Hammer!

[@lideresbrasfortzoologico7306]

sabão sopa e salvação e o exercito da salvação...

[@pierrevillechenoux7341]

She met Marty and came back in the DeLorean.

[@MkeKen67]

Rocking good song!

Over 6000 views and only two comments?Come on.

Whoever clicked thums down should have the shit kicked out of them.

[@MkeKen67]

two thumbs down - I think we can take 'em

A true woman doesn't need to bear her ass to see her soul!

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Psychobilly! Love the Lone Justice!

[@Michael-mm3fm]

Psychobilly. Haven’t come across that since the 1980s. Thanks for bringing it back

[@Michael-mm3fm]

This is a million miles superior to Swift or Beyonce or any of today’s mega-popular billionaires.

[@edscerbo]

This was not long before they broke up.

[@christopherwelch136]

Yee ha.

[@soulscanner66]

I'm not sure of Buck Owen or the Chats brought me here.

[@andrewburns6654]

I love everyone involved, but this should be a PSA video explaining the effects of using cocaine.

[@gmartinz01]

And you would be wrong, because she wasn't using

[@Michael-mm3fm]

Maria doesn’t need cocaine. If there’s one person in the whole world who doesn’t need cocaine, it’s Maria.

[@dennisroggelin2414]

That's an irresponsible statement. You don't know

[@Asjemenou-d3j]

Sure. And pigs fly, moron.

[@bcal4877]

There’s always some dink who wants to make themselves feel better with the whole “oh. You know, coke” comment. F you, @andrew burns
