Mama Lion was an American blues rock^[1] band which was active from 1972 to 1974. The band, managed by Patrick Meehan, featured the very Janis Joplin-esque vocals of lead singer Lynn Carey.^[2]^[3] It also included Alan Hurtz, James Newton Howard, Coffi Hall, and Neil Merryweather. Mama Lion released two albums before disbanding in 1974. Their debut album, Preserve Wildlife (1972), is well known for its provocative album cover, depicting lead singer Lynn Carey breastfeeding a lion cub.
