Maria McKee was the lead singer of the band Lone Justice from 1982 to 1987. Her solo career effectively started in 1989 with the release of her first solo album, simply called "Maria McKee." She had lots of songs she wanted to do in an acoustic format, because I have enough material from 1989 for this album plus a few more on "Volume 2."
I didn't include any versions of rare songs that happen to be done acoustically. I'm putting those on other McKee albums. This only consists of songs from her studio albums, or from Lone Justice albums, done in an acoustic style. McKee is such a powerful singer that it often is even more impressive hearing her nail these songs without lots of distracting instrumentation.
All the performances here are unreleased. They either come from bootlegs of concerts or radio shows. For the ones from concerts, I did my best to eliminate the sound of cheering so they'd fit in with the radio show ones with no crowd noise.
This album is 43 minutes long.

The picture of McKee comes from the video of her playing "Rattlesnake Mama" in 1995. That's not very close to 1989 in time, but this was the cover of the album before I split it in two, so I thought I'd still use it.
Just fantastic. Thanks.
