Yesterday, I pulled out music from that era which featured another female singer more to my tastes: Lone Justice's Maria McKee. Their debut album holds up, really rocks! And Maria's vocals, ranging from really raw power, to quite delicate moments, a really rare and welcome combination. She should be huge! 

Favorites: Ways to be Wicked, Sweet Sweet Baby, and Soap Soup and Salvation. 

In late 86, I was happily entranced watching them at the edge of the stage of Boston's Paradise Rock Club, wonder if a very young Reg might have also been in attendance?
