Mama Said is the second studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released in April 1991 by Virgin Records. Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash co-wrote and played on the song "Always on the Run". He also played on the song "Fields of Joy". The song "All I Ever Wanted" was co-written by Sean Lennon. Although the album has sold enough copies to be certified double platinum, the RIAA still has it listed as platinum. In the UK, the album reached number 8 on the UK Albums Chart.

Every track on this cd is incredible. I think after this album, Lenny's sound really started to change. Although I enjoy his more recent recordings, I find his earlier work far superior to anything he's produced more recently. His earlier sound can only be described as raw, retro, soulful, funky, groovy and much different than anything that was being recorded at that time.
