  1. "Show me heaven" - Maria McKee

    How to have a hit:

    1) Write a brilliant tune in one night.
    2) Get it on a hit movie soundtrack.
    3) Perform superbly on #TOTP
    4) Soar from nowhere to number one
    5) Get fans for life
    6) Profit!!!

    Far from her greatest song, and Maria's had a difficult relationship with it, but by gum is she brilliant.

  2. Maria McKee, Maria McKee, 1989 on Geffen

    This was the debut solo album from the lead singer of Lone Justice. She’s joined here by Richard Thompson and Marc Ribot on guitar and Steve Wickham on fiddle.

    She’d go on to record six more solo records and some live recordings – but I don’t think any of them did very well in the US – she had more success in Europe.

    My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1989 Specialty Records pressing, with original inner liner.

    Maria McKee - self-titled

    Her first solo album after Lone Justice, this retains much of the country punk of that band, but has a much broader range , with blues, soul and rock, finishing with a version of Has He Got A Friend For Me by Richard Thompson (who plays on this album)

  5. Verrassend. Las op X dat @LeoBlokhuis in LA een interview heeft gedaan met #MariaMcKee. Ik vermoed voor de #Top2000agogo. Ben heel benieuwd. Al in 1996 werd ik geraakt door haar uitvoering van “Has He Got a Friend for Me” in het programma Lola da Musica.
