The only album by the group, whose main figure was the singer Lynn Carey. She was the embodiment of a well-known characterization from the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus" - "a Komsomol member, a student and just a beauty." But in the American style - the singer, actress and model of Penthouse magazine. Beauty Lynn had an unexpectedly powerful, bluesy vocal, which gave out the unchildish temperament of her owner. Her father was a fairly well-known Hollywood actor Macdonald Carey, and she herself was quite a gifted person. She was interested in music and acting, and external data, combined with determination, helped in achieving goals. The character of the girl was as uncompromising as her voice, as evidenced by a short but provocative career at Penthouse. “Statistics knows everything” (as Ilf and Petrov argued), and even today her name can be found on the pages of Wikipedia as the model of the month in December 1972. Before her appearance in Mama Lion, Lynn had worked with a little-known team called C.K. Strong". She tried herself not only as a vocalist, but also acted as a bass player and sometimes picked up a solo guitar. Probably, her singing lacked the soul that Janis Joplin put into her work. And how many can boast of this? So, quite a pretty blues-rock performed by an equally pretty girl. Some things are very good...
