Just when it feels like the end days of hard, imaginative country music are upon us, a release such as this appears and dashes despair. With her first outing for Rounder, Myles has made one of 1998's finest--setting her own standard for country music at millennium's end, writing every song save two classics, and singing all hell out of every line. There's nothing slight, nothing wasted in these 12 songs; the original material is unfailingly strong and effortlessly inventive. Her band--featuring Bob Gothar, Pete Anderson, Marty Rifkin, Gary Brandin, and a propulsive rhythm section--marshals various styles and colors. Shades of progressive bluegrass and Tex-Mex emerge, as well as echoes of Buddy Holly's sound, resulting in taut country rock that nods as often to the Byrds and the Burrito Brothers as to Myles's formative Bakersfield background. --Roy Francis Kasten

Where has Heather Myles been? Why hasn't she been singing on the "country" stations?
We have enjoyed her music...REAL COUNTRY music. She is right up there with Kitty Wells and Loretta!!
Thank goodness there are still real country singers now and then.
I am going to buy more of her CDs. Keep singing country Heather. We love your music.

Heather Myles, along with Amber Digby, Miss Leslie, and Becky Hobbs, is one of the few real country female singers. This isn't Faith or Shania or any of the other imposters; this is old-fashioned, 100-proof, honky tonk country. This is a great CD, and amazingly, it's her second best; as wonderful as this music is, "Sweet Talk and Good Lies" is even better.

I absolutely abhor new "country music"; it lacks any soul, has forgotten its roots, and is completely disposable. And, the problem is not just with the producers and Nashville, as the majority of the performers lack talent as well. But once in awhile, someone comes along to breathe a little life into modern country music. Heather Myles is one of the very few bright spots in today's country scene, and you owe it to yourself to listen to this Cd. Heather has a voice that combines the unabashed sincerity of Loretta Lynn with the vocal stylings of Donna Fargo; throw in a big dose of real Bakersfield Sound, and you have Heather Myles. This CD contains 12 numbers, and every single song is heads above anything you'll hear on today's "country" radio. There are two really fine singles here that deserve the highest praise: "No One is Gonna Love You Better" is a superb duet with none other than Merle Haggard, and "Playing Every Honk Tonk in Town". I will go as far to say that Heather Myles should be placed in the list of the Top 5 female singers to arrive on the country scene in the past 30 years. And after you listen to this album, you'll realize that list doesn't include Shania or Faith. A+++++++
 She's good,but......... September 9, 2005

With all the five star reviews,it looks like the entire extended family chimed in,so! I ain't gonna say anything derogatory just in case you all come lookin' for me,if you get my drift ? I think this lady has enormous talent,and given the time she will be one of the greats. She still has a way to go,and I believe she will wind up with a huge name in the business.
