  • Additional personnel: J. Robbins (vocals, guitar, keyboards).
  • Maria McKee made a splash as the big-voiced frontwoman for 1980s roots-rockers Lone Justice, but after the group fell apart, she made the inevitable move toward a solo career, which lasted far longer than her band had. Her second solo album, YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED, remains her most loved and most commercially successful outing. It still bears some of the country-rocking touches of Lone Justice, and includes the participation of a couple of McKee's former bandmates, but it points a way forward as well. There's a far greater focus on the soul side of McKee's musical personality, with several songs bearing a distinct '60s Stax vibe. But whether McKee's in a twangy mode or an R&B groove, it's her larger-than-life voice that demands the listener's attention.
Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (9/30/93, p.106) - 3 Stars - Good - "...[Maria] McKee charges through most of this album [YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED] at full throttle..."

Rolling Stone (3/18/04, p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[P]ilot to Gunner banks on jittery emo-punk grooves and noise-rock mayhem."

Entertainment Weekly (6/25/93, p.105) - "...when she plants herself firmly, as on the country cut "I Can't Make It Alone," she gets the traction she needs and soars up, up, and away..." - Rating: B-

Musician (7/93, p.87) - "...on her second solo album she's regressed and returned to the brilliant thievery of youth, for YOU GOTTA SIN is devilishly full of the joie de vivre of unblushing derivation....Not a weak tune in this bunch...a shape-shifter's smorgasbord of pop diversity..."

NME (Magazine) (6/12/93, p.35) - 8 - Excellent - "...If there's a space in your record collection between The Black Crowes and The Jayhawks, YOU GOTTA SIN will plug that gap amply...."
