Very cool-Lone Justice (at least, version 1) was one of my favorite bands to see in Los Angeles clubs. Cactus Rose was the "B" side of Ways To Be Wicked. It hasn't made the transition to CD until now. Definitely on my acquisition list for 2014! The first CD was great but I don't listen to the follow up (Shelter) as much...less a band than a Maria McKee solo disc. This should show the band at it's best.

I think I have some of this on a boot somewhere, but it will be a must buy for me; I collect Maria McKee. I also still need to get her Live at The BBC cd, it's been dirt cheap lately on ebay.

So Geff, you're not a fan of You Gotta Sin To Get Saved? That's my favorite of her solo albums.
I own it, but it's my least favorite of all of her albums. I'm not a country fan. For me, that one swings a little too far from country rock, alternative rock & folk to straight country.

I am so pathetic. I'm glad this thread made me go upstairs & look at my collection. I own Maria at the BBC; I just neglected to add it to the Excel list of my collection. Saved me from buying something I already own!

It's been about 10 years since I played them so I could be wrong, but I thought her first solo album had much more of a country vibe, while You Gotta Sin... was more soul/gospel influenced. I hated her third album when it first came out...it was a little too experimental for my tastes at the time...but I eventually came around to it. I'm glad she doesn't stick to one sound or genre.

I love "Life is Sweet." I have the first two solo albums, too, as well as two or three after "Life is Sweet," but I hardly listen to any of those. The first five tracks of "Life is Sweet" are knockouts, and the title track is great...sort of a calming come-down from the wildness of some of the earlier tracks.

Yeah, I'm not getting the country connection with "You Gotta Sin..." it was much more blue-eyed soul a la Van Morrission than country. That one was my fav of hers as well.
Life Is Sweet was quite a shock for me after You Gotta Sin. I really hated it when it came out but love it now that years have past. It was much more alt than I was ready for from her at the time.

Listening to this for the first time right now.
I did not expect this to be so country. I'm really glad they went through major stylistic changes before the 1st LJ album, or I would have probably never heard Maria McKee, who is one of my favorites.
This release is only for HARD CORE Americana & country fans, & HARD CORE McKee fans.
IMO, it sucks.
