Mother Hen (Jane Getz) is a singer that fails to compare with anyone else. Her voice is so off-beat that it puts itself on a level away from anybody else. Her material and arrangements are all her own. Lyric-wise, she uses her vocals to express the feelings much in the same way that Neil did in After the Goldrush.
It is truly a unique mixture of folk, pop and American roots music with Jane's awesome lyrics. Back up by 1st class musicians like Clarence White, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Lee Sklar and Russ Kunkle.

she cut her teeth in Charles Mingus' jazz workshops - she plays piano on the 1966 album - and some fans actually prefer that album's version of "Meditations" over the others (a few with Dolphy)
