Happy Jawbone Family Band – “Treat Yr Mama Right” (Mr. T Cover)
You may already be familiar with the homegrown psych-pop catalog of Happy Jawbone Family Band — either from the various times we’ve mentioned them in posts on other similarly experimental Vermont bands, or their retrospective collection of songs released on Mexican Summer in January, or their cassette issued by Night People last year. But if you haven’t heard their oddly addictive music yet, this is a weird and funny way to get acquainted: Happy Jawbone Family Band’s timely, home-recorded cover of “Treat Yr Mama Right”, originally done by Mr. T. Yes, this. Happy Mother’s Day Y’all!!! Stream it below, along with a few other essentials from their catalog: “Fistful of Butter”, “Fireflies Made Out Of Dust” and “Book of Fire.”
