Mama Lion were an American blues rock band who were active from 1972 to 1974. The band, managed by Patrick Meehan, featured the very Janis Joplin-esque vocals of lead singer Lynn Carey, 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.
