Mother Nature's Kitchen


Mother Nature's Kitchen is the debut album from the Scottish singer/songwriter Kevin McDermott with his band Kevin McDermott Orchestra.

History

Following his solo album, Suffocation Blues, Kevin McDermott formed the Kevin McDermott Orchestra/''KMO, with an initial line-up of Jim McDermott on drums, Steph Greer on bass, and on percussion. They started performing the material that would become Mother Nature's Kitchen.
McDermott distributed KMO demos to record companies, the recordings now without Bramble, and with Iain Harvie, and they were soon signed to Island Records.
In 1989, KMO recorded Mother Nature’s Kitchen. The line-up for the album recording was Jim McDermott, Steph Greer, Robbie McIntosh, Blair Cowan, and David Crichton. Shortly after the recording was completed, Robbie McIntosh left to play for Paul McCartney, and Marco Rossi joined KMO on electric lead guitar.
In July 2022, the remastered Last Night From Glasgow release of Mother Nature’s Kitchen'' reached number ten in the Official Scottish Albums Chart Top 100.
