This is where I would play singles that I thought were great, but didn't set the charts on fire. <BR/><BR/>I seem to remember that when Lone Justice first came out, MTV propped them fairly heavily. Mark Goodman said that Maria's sound reminded him of Stevie Nicks...no argument there.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-44078898600563440042007-06-28T21:12:00.000-04:002007-06-28T21:12:00.000-04:00I loved that song too and have heard Maria's name ...I loved that song too and have heard Maria's name crop up over the years.

They both have the vibrato thing going on and write interesting lyrics, but Stevie's voice is ultra-unique. <BR/><BR/>Barbara - Why can't I be Robert Smith? I'm wearing the fuzzy suit!<BR/><BR/>Bubs - That's so cool. Was the jacket fringed? Please tell me it was. <BR/><BR/>WP - To repurpose a Taylor Dane-ism, "tell it to my hand." There's no way her version could even come close to Maria's!<BR/><BR/>Johnny - Yeah, I love that song from <I>Pulp Fiction</I>. She's like a female John Hiatt...well-known in the industry (and people who just don't listen to Top 40) and often covered but not a household name. <BR/><BR/>X.Dell - I'm not sure I know of a Nancy Wilson from Columbus! But yes, I'm talking about Ms. Wilson of Heart.<BR/><BR/>Loraloo - Glad I could remind you!<BR/><BR/>Cube - Yeah, she's fab.<BR/><BR/>Turnbaby - Ah! I never got to see them live. I had a tape of them on the MTV New Year's Eve special, and I can't remember what year it was, but it must've been 1986. I have no idea what happened to that tape. <BR/><BR/>Gary - "Dixie Storms" was actually on their second record, <I>Shelter</I>.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-41225345028247111262007-06-22T20:52:00.000-04:002007-06-22T20:52:00.000-04:00I'm might be wrong but isn't there some songs miss...I'm might be wrong but isn't there some songs missing from that play list.
