The Mothers, also known as The Mothers of Invention, was a band formed by Frank Zappa in 1964. Initially called "The Soul Giants," the group consisted of Ray Collins on vocals, Roy Estrada on bass, and Jimmy Carl Black on drums. Zappa quickly became the creative leader, and the band changed their name to The Mothers (short for mother-f**kers). After signing with Verve Records, they became The Mothers of Invention at the label's insistence.
Throughout their career, The Mothers had various lineup changes and collaborations with talented musicians. Some notable members included Elliot Ingber on guitar, Bunk Gardner on woodwind instruments, Motorhead Sherwood on saxophone, Don Preston on keyboards, Ian Underwood as a multi-instrumentalist, and Billy Mundi and Art Tripp as additional drummers.
During Zappa's jazz/classical rock period in the late 1960s to early 1970s, he worked with violinists Don "Sugarcane" Harris and Jean-Luc Ponty, percussionist Ruth Underwood, and drummers Aynsley Dunbar and John Guerin. This era produced albums like "Uncle Meat," "Hot Rats," "Weasels Ripped My Flesh," and "Burnt Weeny Sandwich."

Limited Copies come with a Bonus CD 'Demos and Early Cassette Recordings' which contains four previously unreleased musings written and recorded solo by lead singer Kristine Leschper before Mothers as a band existed. Beautifully delicate and captivating, it is an intimate record of a songwriter navigating the future foundations of what Mothers were to become. 'When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired' is the debut album From Atlanta's Mothers who were the toast of CMJ 2015. Produced by Drew Vandenberg - who has worked on albums by Of Montreal, Deerhunter and Porcelain Raft - at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia in December 2014, 'When You Walk A Long Distance You Are Tired' features collaborations with Josh McKay of Deerhunter on vibraphone as well as McKendrick Bearden of Grand Vapids, who played bass and provided string arrangements throughout. Comprised of eight songs - the majority of which were written while Leschper was finishing art school in early 2014 - Mothers' debut LP is an introduction to the foundations of the young band, a snapshot of a particular period of their genesis that maps both where they began and where they are heading. LP - Limited Green Vinyl With Download plus digital bonus track.
