As with most critically acclaimed country music, Heather Myles' songs are rarely heard on mainstream country radio. These days, when a magnifying glass is almost mandatory for anyone trying to find the smallest speck of country music anywhere on a CD, that ought to account for something. Fortunately, that problem never arises with Heather's "Sweet Talk and Good Lies." Her straightforward country roots hit you square between the eyes from the first to the last track.
Not since the glory days of country, when Loretta and Tammy could easily be found on the airwaves, has there been a finer example of a female country singing artist. Heather twangs, rocks and croons in all the right places. There's no saccharine sweet, overly glossed sentiments here.
Sweet Talk and Good Lies follows up Heather's 1998 hardcore country release "Highways and Honky Tonks." With the refreshing candor of Loretta, the understated class of Tammy Wynette and the voice of a hillbilly angel, Heather Myles gets straight to the nuts and bolts of what a good country song should be. Real life. If you're listening Nashville: demographically speaking, there are more than a few of the female species that are tired of "perfect love songs." Penning all but two of thirteen tunes on the album, Heather repeatedly demonstrates she's in touch with what country music fans have been longing for.
Heather is currently working on her next project. Watch for here for more details.
