Biography

Heather Myles (born July 31, 1962) is an American country music singer. Her honky tonk singing is in the Bakersfield sound-style and has been likened by many to that of Dwight Yoakam. She has had her songs featured in a major feature film.

Early life

Myles was born in Riverside, California, United States, where her parents bred and trained horses for racing.Heather had a job in the family business until the lure of the honky-tonks called her away.

While still in her teens, she joined a band, and within a year they had a contract with HighTone.

Career

Myles has released five studio albums, including two on HighTone, two on Rounder, and one on the Me and My Americana Roots label.

Her 1992 debut album Just Like Old Times contained mostly original compositions, along with songs from Jim Lauderdale and Robert Cray. The album was praised for its strong songs and hardcore honky-tonk sound.

Her third studio album Highways and Honkytonks was released in 1998, and featured a duet with Merle Haggard on "No One is Gonna Love You Better."

2002's Sweet Talk & Good Lies included a duet with Dwight Yoakam on the song "Little Chapel."
