Live At The BBC
About This Album
This title of this volume documenting two distinct concerts done by Maria McKee (post Lone Justice) under the heading Live at the BBC is in some ways misleading -- she wasn't performing for the radio stations per se, but her headlining concerts were broadcast by them. Recorded in 1991 and 1993 respectively, these shows were taped at pivotal times for the artist. The first date -- the first seven songs here -- feature McKee as an American expatriate, living in Dublin and backed by fellow townies Moby Dick. The material is gathered from her days with Lone Justice and includes "Good Heart," "Shelter," and "I Found Love," as well as her chart-topping U.K. hit "Show Me Heaven." There are also a couple of cuts from her self-titled debut, released almost two years earlier: "I've Forgotten What It Was in You (That Put the Need in Me)," and "Drinkin' in My Sunday Dress." The latter 11 tracks were recorded as McKee toured in support of You Gotta Sin to Get Saved and include most of that album's highlights such as the title track, "My Girlhood Among the Outlaws," "Why Wasn't I More Grateful," and the two Van Morrison covers "My Lonely Sad Eyes" and "Young Lover's Do.
