The roots rock band Lone Justice was formed in Los Angeles by guitarist Ryan Hedgecock and singer Maria Mckee. The half-sister of Bryan Maclean, a member of the seminal psychedelic outfit Love, Mckee's involvement in the L.A. club scene dated back to her infancy; at the age of three, she joined Maclean at a performance at the famed Whisky-a-Go-Go and was befriended by Frank Zappa and members of The Doors. As a teen, she studied musical theater, and briefly performed in duos with Maclean and local blues singer Top Jimmy. Mckee and Hedgecock first met while dabbling in the L.A. rockabilly scene, and their mutual affection for country music inspired them to found Lone Justice in 1982. Initially, the group was strictly a cover band, but the additions of veteran bassist Marvin Etzioni and Don Heffington, a former drummer in Emmylou Harris' Hot Band, prompted Mckee to begin composing original material inspired by Dust Bowl-era balladry.
