About The Record:

Shelter (12" Single), by Lone Justice, featured the band's lead single from their sophomore album, co-produced by Jimmy Iovine and Little Steven Van Zandt, with associate production by Joe Chiccarelli, showcasing a polished rock sound bolstered by Maria McKee's powerful vocals. The maxi-single included the album track Shelter on side A, known for its emotive lyrics co-written by McKee and Van Zandt, alongside Belfry from the same album on B1, which highlighted collaborative songwriting with guitarist Shane Fontayne. A unique addition was the exclusive B-side I Can't Look Back, produced solely by Little Steven and written by McKee, making this release a sought-after item for fans appreciating rare material. Historically significant as a key artifact from Lone Justice's brief but influential career, blending country roots with rock energy, the title track Shelter stands out as a fan favorite for its anthemic quality and passionate delivery. The single achieved moderate success, with Shelter reaching No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 25 on the Mainstream Rock chart, marking the band's highest charting effort before their disbandment.
