I'm sure the senior fellows of this community may know this but neophytes (like me - 41 years) may not.
You wanna CD that will blow your doors off pick up the Heather Myles 1998 CD called "Highways and Honkytonks". 12 of the most fabulous tunes I've heard in one setting in my time. Everyone is a keeper.
Typically one surfs a new CD to find the couple of "good tunes". Not this one baby... This CD may be too much to handle in one setting.
Every tune is the kind that makes you wanna put on your picks, fire up the amp, and try to keep up. You'll also get visual images of Reba, Lorrie Morgan, Holly Dunn, Loretta Lynn, and you'll be hearing the steel parts of "Kiss an Angel Goodmorning" that ain't there, along with the new ones that Gary Brandin has created. Some CD's, you pay $15.00 and get $3.00 worth of music. This is a $500 CD wrapped in a $15.00 package. I'm still coming back to earth from it. Also, smiley faces on the EQ but everything else flat.
Awesome Steel from Gary Brandin. He's keepin' the bar high for us  [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 25 March 2005 at 06:02 PM.] [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 25 March 2005 at 06:04 PM.] |

| Great album, the band I was in with my ex girlfriend used to do four songs off that album. On breaks people would always come up and ask who those great songs where by. |

I saw her live in Portland, fronting Merle Haggard, back in about '96 or so. I already had her CD, or maybe two of them, so I knew she was going to be great; she was. She started with some Patsy Cline songs. Awesome.
Cheers,

Heather is one of the most gifted singer/songwriters around. I've been lucky to play with her all over the world, and everytime I've been onstage with her, I feel like I'm in the presence of greatness.
Alan...I was at that show in Portland. |

I have to say this about Heather; as I've played steel with her a few times when she comes to Texas.
I have played with hundreds of singers on tape and on stage. There is only 1 girl and 1 guy; that I have ever played steel behind that sing perfect pitch on stage and on tape ALL THE TIME> and they are; Heather Myles and Dale Watson.
Not to put down any of the other singers I've played with; as they are all very good; but I have NEVER heard a bad note coming from Heather or Dale; EVER.
Heather is a sweetheart and I love her; she deserves waaaaaaaaaaay much more respect from the industry than she gets.
I also have to say that Rick Schmidt is one cool guy for letting me play steel as he plays Bass; when they come to Texas...ha..You'da Man Rick.
