Heather Myles gets her musical inspiration from a background that is as diverse as the artist herself. Growing up on a ranch in Southern California, Heather was immersed in the sounds of country music radio at a time when legends were being born. The voices of Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams all played a large part influencing Heather as a songwriter and an outstanding performer. Additionally, it was the sound of her dad's ukulele and grandpa's old Scottish bagpipes that have been responsible for shaping her into the artist she is today.
Heather's family, originally from Scotland, settled in Canada and eventually migrated to Southern California where they operated a ranch specializing in the breeding and training of racehorses. As a child, Heather always thought she would follow in the family business and even considered becoming a jockey. However, an extraordinary talent for music and her powerful voice would soon lead Heather to a much different track.
Now, after four CDs and several years touring the world, playing honky-tonks and opening shows for Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, Heather is poised for stardom and ready to take her place on the main stage of Country and American music.

You could find a man's money just as easy you know,
So live your life fancy-free,
Don't let him take advantage, if you know what I mean.
It's wise to find a cow where the milk is free,
Let me tell you darlin', here's what you need.
It's a Cadillac cowboy.
I mean a man with money.
Not no hillbilly, honey.
I said a man that'll treat you like a queen:
A Cadillac cowboy's what you need.
Well, those satin sheets are really fine,
An' you can love all those imported wines.
An' they buy you furs and diamond rings,
'Cause you know he likes the finest things.
Cowboy home in Beverly Hills,
An' you never got to worry 'bout payin' the bill.
With your Cadillac cowboy.
Cadillac cowboy.
I mean a man with money.
Not no hillbilly, honey.
I said a man that'll treat you like a queen:
A Cadillac cowboy's what you need.
Instrumental break.
Well, you buy anything where ever you go,
'Cause his credit cards are made of gold.
So you have all those expensive things,
That you only see in the magazine.
Cowboy home in Louisian',
With big white pillars and lots of land.
With your Cadillac cowboy.
Cadillac cowboy.
I mean a man with money.
Not no hillbilly, honey.
I said a man that'll treat you like a queen:
A Cadillac cowboy's what you need.
Well.
Cadillac cowboy.
Cadillac cowboy.
I mean a man with money.
Not no hillbilly, honey.
I said a man that'll treat you like a queen:
A Cadillac cowboy's what you need.
