MOTHER’S FINEST AGES WELL
‘Iron Age’ continues tradition
of high-energy rock and roll
By THOMAS HALE
Ked and Black Staff W filer
"Iron Age" by Mother':,
release.
Finest is an Atlantic Records
People were wary of them at first, three blacks and two
whites that played a unique brand of funky rock and roll.
But their first album was a phenomenal success and the
second album even greater — that funky rock was played
with an incredible tightness and intensity Now, with the
release of their latest LP, “Iron Age,” Mother’s Finest is
entrenched in the history of high-decibel rock and roll.
The members of Mother's Finest, once seen as obscure
no-names, through hundreds of concerts and benefits are
now respected heroes of rock. Most know who they are:
“Baby Jean,” the female lead singer who is as sexy as
she is loud; Glenn Murdock, Baby Jean's equally vocal
male counterpart; "Wizzard." the slick bass guitarist:
"Moses Mo.” the blazing lead guitarist who gives
Mother's Finest such high volume orchestration, and
finally B B . the lightning fast drummer
Together. Mother's Finest has sent audiences into a
frenzy by the sheer energy of their performance Finest
has also produced such classics as “Mickey's Monkey.”
“Baby Love," and “Piece of the Rock." The unique
quality of these songs is they express the beauty of racial
equality and love while the group leads by example.
"Iron Age” has many of the same meaningful high
voltage tunes, with each member of the band con
tributing his or her individual talents throughout Par
ticularly good is "Get Ready to Rock and Roll,” the
result of a solid group effort. While the band does a
chorus of the title phrase, Wizzard and Moses have a duel
with their separate guitar riffs.
A classic example of Baby Jean's belting vocals appear
on “Luv Drug " While the guitars blaze Baby Jean
manages to stay above them with lyrics like, "I need a
fix, I need it quick, Give me a dose of your love drug.”
All in all, "Iron Age" establishes Mother’s Finest as a
solid rock and roll group with incredible individual
talents

Little Tigers put on good-natured show

Ktd and Rlark ( ontnbutlng Writer
“We just want you to dance and
sway" — this is the short-term goal of
the Little Tigers, according to band
member Evan Lieberman.
Tuesday night at Tyrone's O.C. the
Tigers' music was more than sufficient,
through 3 hours of music ranging from
reggae to rock to oldies, to keep any
crowd on its feet. The fans were slow to
get into that supportive, partying state
of mind bands thrive on, and the dance
floor was not crowded for the first set.
But the night's slow start was not
evident in the Tigers’ music. Bassist
Lieberman, lead guitarist Paul Lom
bard, drummer Juan Molina and
keyboard player Larry Marcus began
quickly with Glenn Phillips' song
“Lenore,” Lombard’s fast-paced riffs
filling the pauses in Lieberman’s
powerful bass work.
"I Think We re Alone Now” might
have given the show an early peak in
intensity but for overpowered vocals
and a complacent crowd The band took
the song from its gradual beginning to a
driving crescendo they maintained for
its entirety, but the dancers were
members
Molina’s drumming was powerful
throughout the show As a result, his
sound was amplified out of balance,
drowning out the rest of the band. Only
when Molina sang lead (“You Talk Too
Much” and other songs) or soloed was
his sound level appropriate. In fact, his
lead vocals were the only vocals that
Some bands throw up a
machismo front in an
effort to earn the fans’
awe. The Tigers play
like friends performing
for friends...
were as prominent as lead vocals
should be.
When the Tigers' abstract intro gave
way to the familiar chords of the
Beatles' “You Can't Do That,” the laid-
back crowd finally came to life,
swarming the dance floor. Lombard's
vocals were excellent.
The rest of the first set consisted of
“Pressuredrop" (With reggae-yodel
vocals), Tommy Roes ancient tune
"Dizzy,” and ended with the “Theme to
Peanuts” from the TV special "A
Charlie Brown Christmas ” The dan
cers tore up the floor while Marcus
pounded out Schroeder's light-hearted
keyboards.
In the second set, the Tigers’ ren
ditions of dinosaurs such as “Amazing
Grace" and "Yummy, Yummy,
Yummy" made it evident the band
could probably make people dance to
"Happy Birthday.” Little Tigers gave
life to songs that would otherwise be
long dead
The show had been "only good"
because of some technical difficulties
and the lack of audience participation,
but when a sax player named Jay took
the stage to play Carl Perkins' “Bop-
pin' the Blues" the shortcomings in
sound could almost be forgotten
The Little Tigers perform with an
appealing stage presence that is clean,
good-natured and unpretentious Some
bands throw up a machismo front in an
effort to earn the fans' awe. The Tigers
play like friends performing for
friends. The $1 cover charge helped
promote that image. Enjoy it while it
lasts.

Bill Rogers will face tough competition in No. 1 singles
The Georgia tennis team will try
this weekend in Knoxville, Tenn. to
recapture the Southeastern Con
ference championship lost last year
for only the second time in 10 years.
Tennesee, this year’s host school
for the tournament, defeated the
Dogs by just one point at Oxford,
Miss, last spring, but this time,
Georgia should be favored to take
back the title
Georgia was the only conference
school to play through the SEC
round-robin schedule undefeated this
year, but head coach Dan Magi)! said
this year's tourney is a toss-up and
that anyone can win.
Magill said though Georgia was
undefeated in duai match play, the
tournament format stresses in
dividual performance and any team
could conceivably win if one or two
players suddenly performed beyond
their potential
The Bulldogs will be seeded in
eight of the nine levels of competi
tion, Magill said, with Kelly Thur
man at No. 6 singles the only unseed
ed Dog.
Thurman, who has not played any
SEC matches at No. 6 this year due to
a suspension, won the spot from
junior Peter Lloyd in two challenge
matches earlier this week
Magill said. “I wanted to get the best
man in there. "
Four Georgia entries are seeded
number one for the tournament. In
singles, John Mangan at No. 2, Brent
Crymes at No. 3 and Tom Foster at
No. 5 all received top seeds The No. 2
doubles team of Mangan and Bill
Rogers is also seeded first.
behind Tennessee's pair of Mike
DePalmer and Michael Fancutt.
DePalmer and Fancutt is the only
team to beat Crymes and Groth in
SEC play this year.
At No. 3 doubles, the Georgia team
of Foster and Kleis will compete for
Georgia.
"Peter was playing way below his
par of last year all year (this
season),” Magill said. “He plays
pretty well, but not well enough.”
Last season, Lloyd was the Bulldogs’
No. 1 player and received a bid to the
NCAA singles championship
Rogers, Georgia No. 1 singles
player, is seeded third. Rogers’ only
SEC losses have come to Derek Tarr
of Auburn, the tourney’s number one
seed, and Wayne Hearn of Mississip
pi
Assistant coach Norman Holmes,
in Athens General Hospital earlier
this week for a check-up, said
Wednesday he would probably be
able to leave the hospital Thursday
morning when he would travel to
Knoxville to join the team.
Thurman, Lloyd and Gerald Kleis,
who started the year at No 6, played
a round-robin challenge match last
weekend that produced Thurman as
Magill’s sixth singles player.
“I know he’s (Thurman) hungry,”
Paul Groth, who was undefeated in
match play until he faltered late in
the year is also seeded Groth lost to
Auburn’s Nick Stutsman and to
Alabama’s Stephen Shaw.
In doubles,the Dogs' No. 1 team of
Groth and Crymes is seeded second
Magill is also waiting this weekend
for official confirmation of an ex
pected bid to the NCAA Tennis
Championships, played May 16-24 at
Henry Feild Stadium He said the
SEC tournament results would not
figure in the NCAA’s decision
whether to extend a bid or not.
