Review

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

A few years after an underappreciated solo album, former Lone Justice leader Maria McKee returns with You Gotta Sin to Get Saved, her best album yet. With Black Crowes and Jayhawks producer George Drakoulias at the helm, You Gotta Sin to Get Saved evokes the country-rock vibe of the early '70s (much like the aforementioned groups) without sounding like a studied replica. McKee sings a dynamic mix of originals and covers with genuine conviction, making You Gotta Sin to Get Saved an album that demands repeated plays.

iTunes Review

After the splintering of her band Lone Justice in the late 1980s, singer Maria McKee took some years to find her way artistically. You Gotta Sin To Get Saved (1993) was more than a return to form — it marked her full emergence as an artist in command of her talents. While the album reunited her with former bandmates Marvin Etzioni and Don Heffington, its approach was a step away from the neo-L.A. country rock of her Lone Justice days. McKee wades into steamy R&B terrain on “I’m Gonna Sooth You” and rises to glorious gospel heights on “I Forgive You.” Much of the album invokes the Woodstock-era sounds of the Band and Van Morrison — “My Girlhood Among The Outlaws” in particular strikes a roots-rock note. (The sonic link with Morrison is made explicit by a pair of well-rendered Van the Man covers as well.) The title track is a fiercely woozy New Orleans sing-along that lets Maria wail with the abandon of a not-quite-sorry sinner. And, yes, there is a honky-tonk tune (“Only Once”) to please her older fans. An ambitious creative stretch, You Gotta Sin To Get Saved remains McKee’s best-realized work..

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition

of second-hand records, cassettes and CDs. Anyone buying or selling records through the magazine must use our conditions to state what

amount of wear and tear the disc, its sleeve and/or contents have been subject to. The seven standard condition categories, and a description

of what each one means, are listed below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks

or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such

as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records

advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there

is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging

might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but

displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable

surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on

the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has

noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild

scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of

edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for

properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface

noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly

missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
