Mother’s Pride

Released

Fanny’s fourth album was notably more engagingly pop leaning than their previous three efforts, something the Millington sisters later ascribed to Todd Rundgren’s overall production and mixing at the expense of live energy. But even with the harder edges toned down, Mother’s Pride gives Fanny a chance to show its overall range and ability, from the vocal harmonizing treatments on a cover of Randy Newman’s “Last Night I Had a Dream” to the easygoing chug and spirit of “Summer Song,” plus more contemplative songs like “Regular Guy” and “Is It Really You?”
