Sweet Talk and Good Lies is the fifth album by Heather Myles. Highlights include the title song, "Sweet Talk and Good Lies, " "Nashville's Gone Hollywood," in which she excoriates the current blandness of the country music scene, and "Little Chapel," a duet with fellow honky-tonker Dwight Yoakam. "One and Only Lover" sounds like something straight out of Buddy Holly's catalog, and she does decent covers of old standards "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Cry Me a River," although they are probably the least country-sounding tunes on the album (and the only ones that Myles did not write herself).
