Bio
Lauren Houston's second album, ..Morning Time in Morning View...., is scheduled to be released August 2010! Visit ..www.lauren-houston.com.. for download/purchase options, as well as artist & booking information. .... ..------------------.... ..What people are saying... ...... ..12.09.2008.. - "The real triumph on “Roots & Wings” is the genuine diversity of the songs on the album. It is less a grab-bag of originals that Houston has penned over the years as it is a carefully chosen selection of songs that get to the heart of the matter; family, friends and the land she calls home." ....Read the full review... ...... ..12.04.2008.. - "Lauren Houston is a talent. She sings, she writes well and she has that down-home girl next door aura that is neither false nor cliché. Roots & Wings should help Lauren Houston ascend the country ladder, and Fight This War could be the song that allows Houston to look at wherever she wants to be and declare that to be the top. If that song ever gets into major distribution there won't be anyone in the business who will argue with her. This is a must have disc for that song alone, but take away Fight This War and it's still a very strong release." ..Read the full review... ..
