"Howdy Moon" was the sole album by the band Howdy Moon, released in 1974. The band included Valerie Carter, Richard Hovey and Jon Lind. The trio of friends moved to Los Angeles where they were signed by A&M Records and played at The Troubadour. Many of the musicians from the band Little Feat are featured on the album.

After Howdy Moon disbanded, Lowell George produced Just a Stone's Throw Away, Valerie Carter's first solo album.The song "Cook With Honey", written by Carter, was also a minor hit for Judy Collins.

ハウディ・ムーンは元フィフス・アベニュー・バンドのジョン・リンドが、ヴァレリー・カーター、リチャード・ハーヴェイと組んだグループです。アルバムは1974年にリリースされた本作品のみ。ゲストにジョン・セバスチャン、アンドリュー・ゴールド、ほかリトル・フィート関連のミュージシャンがまとめて参加しています。穏やかで、フォーキーで、爽やかで。かなり良いアルバムだと思うんですが、知名度は低めですね。

ヴァレリー・カーターのこの曲が好きです。
