I have in my collection both 1967 Top 100 selections by Every Mother's
Son--"Put Your Mind At Ease" and "Pony With The Golden Mane." The former
is
a nice Pop rocker, with an infectious lead guitar lick; features some
quality time-signature changes, as well--certainly should have made the
Top
40, in my view. The latter song is trite and unremarkable, in my opinion;
too, the theme rather reminds me of "Puff The Magic Dragon."
My version of Proud Mary
