Live
We At Rock Candy always have a special place in our hearts for Motherâs Finest. One of the most formidable acts on the scene during the â70s, they trail-blazed a unique path between funk and crushing hard rock. Sure many acts attempted this explosive combination at the time, from Sly & The Family Stone to Parliament-Funkadelic, but Motherâs Finest always made the most noise live, coming on like Led Zeppelin jamming with Aerosmith. Fronted by the supreme vocals of Joyce âBaby Jeanâ Kennedy, with constant support from the irrepressible Glenn âDocâ Murdock, the bandâs album material stretched from cool as cucumber soul to pummelling heavy rock and all points in between. The only drawback was that record companies could not get their head around how to promote the band, leaving them caught between a rock and a hard place. Amazingly, despite being somewhat affected by this lack of industry understanding, they attracted a devoted audience not only in the USA but also in Europe, developing their career throughout the subsequent decades. Hats off to long standing guitarist Gary âMoses Moâ Moore whose blistering fretwork ignites the songs brilliantly. Recorded in 1979, this album reinforced the bandâs command of the live environment and showcased their clear cut ability to engage an audience with their full on dedication and delivery. We must applaud this band as one of the greatest acts of all-time.
