MOLLY JOHNSON - Selft Titled Debut - BUY - iTunes Canada | iTunes US |
| "Local heroine Molly Johnson is in great form on this disc...with her rich blend of blues and jazz confidently displayed. Flashes of Dinah Washington, Janis Joplin and Billie Holliday (whose "Don't Explain" is a treat here) colour the naturally warm textures of her voice... She's full of drama wit and heartache...surely one of the records of the year." - Toronto Star more |

Alta Moda
Their self-titled album, produced by Colin Thurston (Duran Duran, Human League), released in 1987 and took a lot of flack for being 'generic American funk', some radio stations even went as far as refusing to play the material because it sounded 'too black'. They declined a Juno nomination for the song "Julian" in the R & B category which they felt was a mislabel. more |
Molly has appeared on many of her friend's albums and various compilations, these are a few of them. More to come. Do you know of another disc we have forgotten? please drop us a note |
