Chanteuse Country Rock US née le 17 Août 1964 à Los Angeles (Californie). Maria McKee
fut la chanteuse du groupe Lone Justice de 1982 à 1988.
After making
her name as the gritty, soulful lead singer of roots rockers Lone Justice, Maria
McKee embarked on an often-rewarding solo career. A native of Los Angeles, McKee
was born in 1964; her half-brother was Bryan MacLean, the guitarist and sometime
singer of the groundbreaking psychedelic band Love. After studying musical
theater as a teenager, McKee started performing on the L.A. club scene in a duo
with MacLean and also teamed up with local blues singer Top Jimmy (who inspired
the Van Halen song of the same name). A roots-music scene sprang up in L.A.
during the early '80s, and McKee -- a country music fan -- met like-minded
guitarist Ryan Hedgecock; the two co-founded Lone Justice in 1982, and with
McKee often composing material, the group became a local favorite. They signed
with Geffen on the recommendation of
Linda Ronstadt, but in spite of highly positive media attention, their two
albums -- 1985's Lone Justice and 1986's Shelter -- failed to sell well,
hampered by slick production and a sense of not-quite-fulfilled potential. McKee
went solo after the latter record and released her self-titled debut in 1989,
with Mitchell Froom producing.
McKee scored a critical breakthrough with her second album, 1993's You Gotta Sin
to Get Saved, which was helmed by Black Crowes/Jayhawks producer George
Drakoulias. Its rootsy, countrified rock and McKee's ever more powerful Vocals
led many reviewers to call it her most fully realized work to date. She went on
to contribute the song "If Love Is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags)" to the hit
soundtrack of Pulp Fiction, and in 1996 she released a third solo album, the
much artier Life Is Sweet, on which she played all the guitar parts. McKee
subsequently took a hiatus from recording, during which time she extricated
herself from her deal with Geffen in search of greater creative control. She
finally returned in 2003 with another ambitious record, High Dive. In 2004,
McKee issued Live in Hamburg, her first released concert outing. It was followed
by Peddlin' Dreams in 2005 and Live Acoustic Tour 2006. Late December appeared
in 2007 from Cooking Vinyl Records.
