Lone Justice (album)
Lone Justice is the debut studio album by American roots rock band Lone Justice, released in April 1985.

Reception 

The album received some critical acclaim, but it failed commercially. Trouser Press described the problem as over-promotion: "It isn't that Lone Justice's first album is bad (it's not), but the ballyhoo that preceded the LA quartet's debut raised expectations that these frisky countryfied rock tunes (Linda Ronstadt on speed, perhaps, or Dolly Parton backed by the Blasters) couldn't possibly satisfy. Maria McKee is an impressive young singer — an energetic, throaty powerhouse with a Southern twang and a slight Patsy Cline catch — and the band is solid enough, but... [the album] doesn't come anywhere near extraordinary."
