Christy Howard is a singer/songwriter whose diverse musical background, combined with her smooth and sultry vocal style, gives her a unique sound. Her vocals sound like a blend of June Carter Cash and Bonnie Raitt. Onstage, Christy is Johnny Cash reincarnated as a woman. Her original music, co-written with husband-guitarist Jeff Howard, is a fusion of Southern-Rock and Blues that sounds like Buddy Guy meets Lynyrd Skynrd. Christy and Jeff often draw on their long careers in the seedy music business for their lyrics, which deal with cheating, mistreating, gambling, drinking, and other debauchery. Their latest CD, I CROSSED THE TRACKS (2008, No Cover Records) includes 13 original electric Blues-Rock and Chicago-Style Blues songs. It includes guest appearances by guitar superstars Jim Kahr (Junior Wells, Jimmy Rogers, Bobby "Blue" Bland, John Lee Hooker) and Billy Davis (Hank Ballard and the Midnighters; Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Joe Tex).
