Halifax Sunday Herald
"Without even trying she can make you believe each song is a one-time
declaration of love... I have seldom heard a band more attuned to a
singer... Johnson's subtlety - the way she colours a word, the way she
pulls a phrase towards her for a caress, the way she hugs a mood - receives
the attention from the band that a master goldsmith gives to an opal
in setting it to bring out its inner lights." - Stephen Pedersen
Another Day
The reviewers say:
The Toronto Sun
" Johnson's warm, liquid voice lovingly embraces each song."
The Leader Post
"The album smoulders from start to finish, particularly on standout
tracks like "Sleep in Late," "Red Cardinal"and "Miss
Celie's Blues," heard in the film The Color Purple. Johnson's voice
is by turns electrifying and heartbreaking." - Emmet Matheson
Winnipeg Free Press
"Her distinctive voice keeps you going back for more." - Chris
Smith
Listening Post (Toronto)
"Molly Johnson is at home in this collection of easy jazz, opening,
appropriately, with Summertime. Her voice has a bluesy, earthy texture,
and the arrangements are refreshingly uncomplicated, with piano, bass
and drums, plus a brass and woodwind player who doubles on accordion."
Winnipeg Sun
"She writes songs. Her bandmembers write songs - and they invest
and imbue in them a sensibility that is at times rock-oriented, at times
R&B-based, and yet always rooted to the melody by the sexy, soaring
vocal chords that are Johnson's instrument." - John Kendle
The Windsor Star
"Molly Johnson has followed up her excellent self-titled CD of
two years ago with another of understated elegance."
Eye Music
"...it is a lovely voice, and the arrangements give room for her
to stretch it, and show off some beautiful playing by Downes and Craig."

"Molly will challenge Norah this year!"
A new fan in Holland:
I bought the CD and since then it is very often in the player. Each
song is tremendeous. The voice of Molly is very very good. The band
is playing superb. The performance of Molly in Paris was in april, at
that time I knew the songs but I didn't knew it was by Molly, so I wasn't
there. I have read that Molly is coming again, now to Olympia in Paris
on December 7th. It's a 6-hours drive from my town, but if this is the
only gig in Europe I'll be there! Probably Molly and her band will be
popular in Holland too, because she's a lot on the radio ARROW, so if
there's a possibility she should come also to Holland. I will be in
the first line to buy tickets for me, my wife, and all our friends who
are forced to listen when they come over to our house. Everybody loves
the music and the voice! - Louis H, Holland
Fans of Another Day say:
"It's a good thing these are CD's and not vinyl! I'd have worn
the grooves out of them by now if they were records! Man, this is great
music! --I really love that whole "late night, half empty, smokey,
Jazz club, jam-session" quality. It's just like "being there."
I only have one complaint - THERE'S ONLY TWO ALBUMS! :( --and apparently
Another Day just came out? Nuts! --I have a long time to wait, I guess,
before new sounds from you folks... oh well... Thanks for some really
awesome sounds." - Kevin H, Winnipeg MB

 Molly
Johnson
The reviewers say:
Muchmoremusic.com
"Molly is a naturally born singer, brimming with talent.
She can sing anything, from Billie Holliday to Elvis Costello and make
it hers... Molly grabs you by the ears and delivers you to another era,
where emotion and phrasing guides the song, where nuance speaks volumes."
Toronto Star:
"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 Holiday (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."
- Geoff Chapman
Toronto Sun:
...[T]his diverse collection showcases Johnson's ability to tackle several
musical genres in her own sweet, sexy, sophisticated way. She even puts
her won unique spin on Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain".
