I too have a sneaky liking of Lone Justice as Speedy at So Many Roads agrees. It is largely (solely?) because of Maria McKee and her staggering voice. She is the sister of one of my favourite singers and songwriters of the sixties Bryan MacClean of Love fame ( he penned classic Forever Changes song and more besides from "Alone Again Or", "Old Man” to "Orange Skies) and this has a lot to do with my enjoyment of her band

Speedy says : 1986: Lone Justice, fronted by Maria Mckee, has been a guilty pleasure of mine since the very first time I heard the tunes Ways To be Wicked and Shelter. This FM broadcas captures the band in London on November 6, 1986, 38 years ago today. They were on tour in support of their second album Shelter, which was co-produced by Jimmy Iovine and Steve Van Zandt. Yet even those two rock heavy weights and an infectious title track, couldn’t help the band achieve the breakthrough commercial success they sought. The album stalled at #65 on the Billboard charts, while the single made it only to #47. A shame that the public didn’t take to this vastly under rated band.

Thanks for cross posting this! Shelter is one of my favorite tunes - ever
I should maybe point out here that I don’t normally post the links to the files that sites use as that defeats the purpose of my site where I try to spread the good word and head folks in their directions. I posted the link to the download in error so have corrected that. AAAAaaaaanyhoooo! having said all that you are most welcome Speedy! My absolute pleasure
