Another Mother Further is the third full-length studio album by Atlanta funk-rock group Mother's Finest. It was released in 1977 on Epic Records and co-produced by Tom Werman. It managed to chart two singles, "Baby Love" and "Piece of the Rock".
"Truth'll Set You Free" was covered by R&B group Labelle on their 2008 album, Back to Now, after Nona Hendryx and Joyce Kennedy performed it on the international Daughters of Soul tour in 2004.
Critical reception
The Bay State Banner wrote that "their guitar riffs are fresh and economical, their keyboard excitingly percussive, and lead voice Joyce Kennedy, accepting her limitations, has made her shouting style into a stinging and irresistible voice."
