McClure recorded her first single, "Redwood City", in the late 1970s, and soon thereafter met the Babys and Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, whom she married.

Moving with him to Los Angeles, she landed a record deal in 1982 and released a self-titled (using her married name Tané Cain) album on RCA Records. A Billboard review of the album described her as "an artist to watch" and remarked that she "looks incredibly beautiful on the LP cover. Then you put it on and find out that she can sing just as well."

AllMusic's Alex Henderson wrote that "the material – most of it sleek, commercial pop/rock that was co-produced and co-written by Jonathan Cain and has a Pat Benatar-ish quality – is generally excellent."

}} McClure disliked comparisons to Benatar, preferring to identify herself with her idol Grace Slick. The album's first single, "Danger Zone", failed to chart, but the follow-up, "Holdin' On", peaked at number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The album did not sell as well as the label had hoped, peaking at number 121 on the Billboard album chart, and she was dropped, never to release another album. Her music career continued when she contributed three songs to the soundtrack for The Terminator in 1984 and she recorded demos for a second album in 1985, which were eventually leaked several years later to multiple AOR blogspots. McClure composed and performed a new song, "Kicks", which was heard in a bar scene on a jukebox in Fred Olen Ray's
