Lone Justice was an American country rock band active during the 1980s. Founded in Los Angeles in 1982, the band was spearheaded by vocalist Maria McKee and her half-brother Ryan Hedgecock. Their style combined rock and roll with country influences, often described as "cowpunk" or "punkabilly," and their debut self-titled album, released in 1985, was critically acclaimed for its raw and passionate sound. Despite their brief existence, Lone Justice's fusion of genres influenced the alternative country movement, highlighting their significance in music history.
