Mother's Finest

Great band, sort of heavy, glammy funk-rock. Great vocals, as well as music.

"Another Mother Further" is my fave release by them.

Have a tape by em called Black Radio won't play this Record. As said they some really fime funk rock.

I'm trying to find that one on CD. I already have AMF, MFLive, and their greatest hits disc. Iron Age is more trad metal. I prefer the funkier stuff, such as Greg Perry's solo from the early 1980s, or the Paul Sabu music from around the same era. Don't forget Teena Marie's from that era, either.

Joyce Kennedy is a great singer. Too bad there are so many lame Mariah Carey impersonators around being passed off as RnB/Soul, Joyce could kick their behinds with one vocal cord behind her back.

I really liked MF's first CD. What is the point
of this thread though: to aggrandise MF or to
diss other people?

D.

Darren, the thread was to have a music discussion. Why would it be anything else? I happen to like MF, have for years.

I'm sure there are people who don't like that band, but I can't tailor everything I post to avoid offending someone, nor do I intend to.

What is the Mother's Finest discography?

Glenn comes from a doo-wop background, and Joyce was a child recording artist. Several of the other members have been in Southern Rock bands, such as Blackfoot.

Funny thing, they are quite big in Sweden!

Interesting tidbit: Both Electric Boys and Dan Reed Network were highly influenced by them.

I wonder if anyone has mp3s of Dan Reed's new
EP? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

With all of the Dan Reed fans here, is anybody into Stevie Salas???
