News:
Molly was featured in the Hollywood Country story in LA WEEKLY:
COUNTRY PICK OF THE WEEK
MOLLY HOWSON
"Scarcely known at all just a year ago, Molly Howosn has emerged from a thankless circuit of open mikes and talent nights to steady ascension as one of the most intriguing and original country talents to hit Los Angeles in quite a long spell. Trading in boozy philosophizing, scab-picking self-examinations and kick-in-the-pants defiance, Howson's songwriting alternately erupts and smolders, while her intensely idiosyncratic vocal style, fueled with hints of "Blood Red & Going Down"-era Tanya Tucker and jabs of Janis Joplin blue notes, makes every performance a riveting display that mixes the severely personal with a fascinating use of traditional country bedrock. Songs like "Bad Cat," "Pride" and "On the Floor Again" make it clear that Howson is not just here to stay — she may well be our country savior. . ."

You can now buy my CD online from my Music Page. I also have some newly-recorded songs up.
Molly was nominated for 2004 Best Country Artist in Los Angeles by the LA WEEKLY.
A great writeup in 2004:
"If you're out making the rounds late Tuesday, stop in at the Lava Lounge and check the midnight set from Molly Howson. The country singer-songwriter chews through her sparse lyrics with a deftly presented mixture of throaty heat, icy detachment and sudden jolts of intensely blue notes that combine for a singular brand of stylized vocals. With an almost masculine aggression surging through moments of the most tender feminine confession, Howson sounds like nothing but herself, and that is about the highest compliment one can give a country singer. Howson's apparently innate sense of dynamics, impressively economic approach to songwriting and fearless, boozy abandon see too good to be true — but Pride, her 11-track CD co-produced with guitarist Bob Gothar, proves that Howson is no fleeting dream. Also at Hallenbeck's General Store & Café, Fri."
