“Howell bares her soul—and its movement through a world of healing, loss, love, and self-liberation. Woman illustrates a path to rediscovery, and Howell deftly provides a light to lead the way.”

"Jeri Katherine Howell’s latest release, Woman, features nine lush Americana originals that document the pleasures and pains of a life in bloom. It pushes its way up through the cracks of life’s deep shifts, and lures the listener to stay in love with the world despite its challenges…
Her clear and distinctive voice is a sweet taste that lingers long after the last track is done—an allure that tempts the listener to return, press play, and wade back into the deep. The emotional depth of this album is subtle because its approach to the subject matter is so lovingly held, authentic in its accessibility, and compelling in its final form. The songs celebrate the extraordinary ordinary moments, the consolations that comfort us in the in-between times of transition and accompany our steps as we emerge into altogether new territory."
