(Review from amazon)

Mama Lion was a blues/rock quintet formed in the early seventies.

Most of the songs were written as a collaboration between Merryweather and Carey, with a few covers thrown in for good. Not all the songs are “radio friendly” if you know what I mean. But sexual inuendo apart, there’s still something in the music and singing. Gaxiola is a great guitar player and you can tell that Jim Howard was classically trained by listening to the piano-intro on “Mr. Invitation”.

Lynn Carey has often been compared with Janis Joplin, but her vocal style could just as easily be compared to Kathi McDonald. She sings with a lower pitch and a voice that sometimes resembles those of old-time blues singers.

The album was also famous for its cover with Lynn Carey appearing with her blouse open and breast exposed, pretending to nurse a lion cub.

Highlights include “Be Bad With Me”, “Ain’t To Proud To Beg”, “Candy Man”, “Mr. Invitation”, “Can’t Find My Way Home” and “Cry”.
