Mother Earth was an eclectic American blues rock band formed in 1967 in California, fronted by Tracy Nelson.
Nelson, who hailed from Madison, Wisconsin, began her career as a solo artist, but formed the Mother Earth ensemble after moving to San Francisco.
The group performed at the Fillmore West in the late 1960s alongside Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Burdon, and was included on the soundtrack to the 1968 film Revolution.
Not really deviating from a formula which was modestly successful for Mother Earth, the band takes the adage “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” to heart with Bring Me Home.
Staying in form with the blend of R&B, gospel, folk and soft rock, this-nine song session remains a vehicle predominantly for the group’ s siren, Tracy Nelson.
The band delivers constantly solid performances backing Nelson‘s impassioned vocals in a very complementary fashion, but really doesn’t set itself apart from the majority of the group’s output.
