NEIL MERRYWEATHER - KRYPTONITE (1975)

Neil Merryweather (nacido Robert Neilson Lillie el 27 de diciembre de 1945 en Winnipeg,

Manitoba) es un cantante canadiense de rock, bajista y compositor. Ha grabado y actuado

con músicos como Steve Miller, Dave Mason, Rick James y Wilson Pickett.

Renombrado Heather Merryweather por una canción de la banda que presentó con letra de un

amigo, June Nelson, el grupo pronto se redujo a sólo Merryweather. En el verano de 1968,

la banda se mudó a Los Angeles, la banda firmó con Capitol Records.

Poco antes del lanzamiento de su debut homónimo, producido por John Gross, Lillie cambió

su nombre a Merryweather. El segundo álbum (el doble del grupo), "Word of Mouth" (lanzado

en septiembre de 1969) fue grabado en Los Ángeles con la misma formación básica de

Merryweather, Roth, Hall y Burt, además de Steve Miller, Barry Goldberg, Charlie

Musselwhite, Dave Mason, Howard Roberts y Bobby Notkoff.

Aunque el álbum fue un éxito razonable, el grupo sigue fragmentado, con Burt, Hall y Roth

que se unen con Ricky James Matthews en un nuevo grupo llamado Salt ‘N’ Pepper.

Merryweather voló de regreso a Toronto para contratar a nueva gente, y luego regresó con

ellos para grabar un álbum interesante para un sello de blues importante, Kent a principios

de 1970. El álbum resultante, firmado por Merryweather, ex-baterista de Ugly Ducklings

Robin boers, el guitarrista John Richardson de Nucleus (y antes de Lords of London) y

el ex-miembro de 49th Parallel JJ Velker, atrajo escaso interés, al igual que un álbum de

seguimiento para RCA, "Ivar Avenue Reunion", con el mismo grupo de base y Goldberg,

Musselwhite y la nueva novia de Neil, la ex-CK Strong como cantante Lynn Carey.

Neil Merryweather y Lynn Carey utilizando un conjunto de músicos, grabaron el lp "Vacuum

Cleaner" para el sello RCA, y luego salieron con una unidad más permanente, Mama Lion (Lynn

Carey, que grabó dos álbumes.

Después de Mama Lion, Neil hizo lps en solitario como Space Rangers, Kryptonite en los años

70 y Hollywood Boulevard.

.The Roar Of Mama Lion Lynn Carey
.In 1973 record stores all over the world were hanging posters to promote a new record called “Preserve Wildlife” by a new, up and coming band: Mama Lion..

.On that poster was what was to become one of the most contraversial album covers in the history of rock and roll! It showed beautiful blonde lead singer Lynn Carey breast feeding a lion cub. Like most classic album covers, this one is still copied by many artists and strangely enough many of them still get censored !..Luckily the record inside the jacket was not overlooked and what everyone heard while still staring at the cover art was one of the most powerful woman singers in rock history as well. Helping to pave the way for other woman rock singers like Ann Wilson, etc. and proving that you can have a great voice and still pack a wallop on top of it! But Lynn Carey’s career doesn’t start with singing in front of a band in the 70’s. Her career goes way back to her early teens, acting for various TV shows and movies before joining up and recording with various bands. Catching the eye of Penthouse Magazine owner Bob Guccione, Lynn was asked to be December’s 1972 pet of the month. Lynn took Guccione up on his offer as long as she would also be able to promote her new band Mama Lion. I got the chance to meet and talk with Lynn about her career, her life, and her music.
