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], with other members 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.
