Lone Justice - This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes 1983 (CD)

Archive recording from the L.A.-based Roots Rock band fronted by Maria McKee. Recorded direct to 2-track tape in December, 1983 by engineer David Vaught and with no overdubs, those twelve tracks can finally be heard in their entirety as This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983. As Billboard's Chris Morris writes in his liner notes, the release 'offers the best representation of the band in it's infancy hot, full of p*ss and vinegar, and ready to take on the world.' Nine of these twelve tracks are previously unissued, and include originals (including 'Soap, Soup And Salvation', which would appear on their Geffen debut two years later) to the covers they made their own in concert (Johnny Cash and June Carter (Cash)'s 'Jackson' and 'Nothing Can Stop My Loving You,' written by George Jones and Roger Miller.). with unseen photos and memorabilia, this collection is what Lone Justice fans have been waiting for. This Is Lone Justice: The Vaught Tapes, 1983 takes US back to a time when music had an energy that was hard to contain. Thanks to that studio in Van Nuys, CA, and this release, Justice has been served!
