Highways and Honky Tonks


Highways & Honky Tonks is the fourth album by Heather Myles, and the first with her new record company Rounder Records. There is a cover of the old Charley Pride song "Kiss an Angel Good Morning", and Merle Haggard drops in for a guest appearance on the duet "No One Is Gonna Love You Better". Myles wrote ten of the twelve songs herself.

Reception

Billboard said that Myles "hit a home run" with Highway and Honky Tonks. Richie Unterberger of AllMusic said that while the album's lyrics were not original, Myles' honesty and performance were excellent. When reviewing the songs, No Depression believed the song that did not sound good was "No One Is Gonna Love You Better", calling it "the album's only real weak moment".
