Fanny: Mother's Pride
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 28 April 1973
BY NOW, most people know that Fanny are one of the best rock bands currently functioning. Their albums, particularly Charity Ball (their second, but the first to be released here) are fine things to have around the house, and their gigs are always loud, funky, powerful, tuneful and delightfully rowdy.
