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.[2] Many of the musicians from the band Little Feat are featured on the album.[1]
After Howdy Moon disbanded, Lowell George produced Just A Stone's Throw Away, Valerie Carter's first solo album.[2][3] The song "Cook With Honey", written by Carter, was also a minor hit for Judy Collins.[1]
