• Мама Лайон была группой чьей судьбой стало показать миру блистательный, страстный, волнующий голос Линн Кэри, необузданной блондинки с потрясающим телом с обложек Пентхауза, ранее известной по Ivar Avenue Reunion.
• Mama Lion - Preserve Wildlife (1972). Еще один интересный образец женского рока начала 70х. Главной фигурой в этой группе была Линн Кэри (Lynn Carey). Главной фигурой в прямом смысле слова. Она была воплощением известной характеристики из фильма «Кавказская пленница» - «комсомолка, студентка и просто красавица». Но на американский манер - певица, актриса, и модель журнала «Пентхаус»
• Думаю, что конверт диска, на котором Линн нежно прижимала к себе львенка, привлекал не меньше, чем содержимое пластинки. А материал на ней был вполне качественным, выдержанным в духе традиционного блюз-рока. Красавица Линн обладала неожиданно мощным, блюзовым вокалом, который выдавал недетский темперамент ее обладательницы.
• Ее отцом был довольно известный голливудский актер, а она сама была личностью вполне одаренной. Ее интересовала музыка и актерское ремесло, а внешние данные, в сочетании с целеустремленностью, помогали в достижении целей. Характер у девушки был таким же бескомпромиссным, как и голос, о чем говорит и короткая, но провокационная карьера в «Пентхаус». «Статистика знает всё», как утверждали Ильф и Петров и даже сегодня ее имя можно встретить на страницах Википедии как модели месяца в декабре 1972 года. Можете убедиться сами: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Penthouse_Pets . Для оправдания мисс Кэри надо заметить, что в начале 70х «Пентхаус», все-таки, не был таким откровенным изданием, как сегодня.

• До своего появления в «Mama Lion» Линн успела поработать с малоизвестной командой под названием «C.K. Strong». Она пробовала себя не только в роли вокалистки, но и выступала как бас-гитаристка и иногда брала в руки соло-гитару. Наверное, в ее пении не хватало души, которую вкладывала в свое творчество Джоплин. А разве многие могут этим похвастаться? Итак, можно скачать вполне симпатичный блюз-рок, в исполнении не менее симпатичной девушки. Некоторые вещи очень удачные. А кавер Can’t Find My Way Home просто очень хорош.

Now here is something quite original from the good old days in the 70's, before MTV and rock videos became the order of the day. If your recollection goes that far back, you might remember seeing a flamboyant and statuesque blonde on television in an early "rock video," wearing a black tuxedo, prancing around and belting out a song with suggestive lyrics, to put it mildly! That voice was quite a surprise and belonged to one Lynn Carey who fronted a five-piece band called Mama Lion. As I remember it, a lot of guys got hooked immediately and a lot of women probably hated her on sight! But you shouldn't judge a book by its cover alone, as the old saying goes, even though Carey worked as an actress and was featured as a Penthouse Pet of the Month in December 1972.
Mama Lion was a blues/rock quintet formed in the early seventies by Canadian bass player, singer/songwriter & producer Neil Merryweather (born Robert Neilson Lillie, 1945 in Winnipeg, Manitoba) and Lynn (Catherine) Carey (born 1946 in Los Angeles) after the two had released one album "Vacuum Cleaner" as a duo. Other band members included Coffi Hall (drums), Rick Gaxiola (guitar) and Jim Howard (soundtrack composer James Newton Howard). This line-up recorded the debut album "Preserve Wildlife" (1972) with the now famous gatefold with Lynn Carey nursing a lion cub! With the release of the second LP "Give It Everything I've Got," (1973) Gaxiola was replaced by Alan Hurtz. Both albums are included in their entirety on this 2-for-1 release by Picar Records in Valencia, Spain. The remastering is splendid and Carey's bluesy interpretations are quite effective.
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." Some of the songs show influences from jazz as well ("Life Is Just A Four Letter Word"). This shouldn't put you off in anyway, because it only adds something extra to the many facets of Mama Lion. Top notch songs are "Be Bad With Me," "Ain't To Proud To Beg," "Candy Man," "Mr. Invitation," Can't Find My Way Home," & "Cry" — all from "Preserve Wildlife" plus the title track from the second album, "Mama Never Told Me," "Crazy Place," & "Saved."
Lynn Carey has often been compared with Janis Joplin, but her vocal style could just as easily be compared to Kathi McDonald. Buy this CD and judge for yourself. You won't be disappointed. And — lo and behold! — all original cover art and photos from both albums have been reproduced for this release.
NOTE: Lynn Carey has an IQ of over 160, so it is possible to be blonde, brainy & beautiful — and sing the blues!
