"The first & only time I saw Mother's Finest was at Six Flags Over Georgia amusment park in the summer of 1981. A friend said he had two tickets to the show, & that park admission was included in the price. Being a rollercoaster freak, I went with him. I didn't even know who this band was or what they sounded like, but my friend seemed really psyched to be going. Holy *Bleep*! this band was like nothing I had ever seen! The singer was hotter than hell! That lady could sing like nobody else in the world, and she was the finest looking woman! Then I see this white guy playing a guitar laying down a rock riff, while the bassist backs it with a syncopated funk bottom that made everyone move their body. The drummer was playing a beat so sweet & complete that the whole damn house melted down! It truly was the best concert I have ever been to Period. That was 22 years ago, over 100 concerts ago, & the flavor of that total knockout-blow of baptism into funk music still lingers to this day. This is the band by which all funk should be measured. Mother's Finest is the one & only Funk / Rock band you'll ever need. All others pale by comparison."

Nice CD

"Mother's Finest recently Rocked the small town of Culloden, GA and I was there. Seen them 3 times in my youth but for me, this time, they were better than ever. I bought this CD at the concert and stayed a bit after they were done Jamm'in. I got to talk to Moses Mo for about 15 minutes, talked to Doc, John, Wyzard, and got all of their autographs...they signed the CD!!!

Even got Baby Jean's autograph, but didn't get to talk to her as she had many people around her.

I think the CD is a good combination of their work through the years, it allows the "newby" to know their sound and what they are about. I admit that there are some songs that should be on this CD if it truely is a "very best" CD, but only a long time fan would know this. But think about it...if you were in their shoes, would YOU put ALL of your best on one cd? Of course not...you want to continue to sell the others as well.

Most of the songs from "Another Mother Further" are on this cd and it was one of the best albums they put out.

So, I can't complain, I think it's a great CD, but mine is the best cause it has all of the autographs on it!!!

All of the band members are extremely cool and so easy to talk to, they are one of a kind. Very nice people and devoted to their fans."
