  • Bio info[5][6][7][8]
  • "Sharing a predilection for country is Kiya Heartwood of the Kentucky band Stealin` Horses. Her sound is closer to country-rock than Lang`s antique Nashville brand. Stealin` Horses only has a 12-inch sampler at present-with an album due shortly-but Heartwood has all the earmarks of a star. She evokes memories of Linda Ronstadt`s country-rock days, spiced with some outlaw themes and rock boogie."[9]
  • Broadway Baby said she "writes smart, funny and poignant songs about the famous and not-so-famous legends of America."[10]
  • "Stealin Horses was a great folksy rock band out of Kentucky that relocated to Nashville soon after signing a deal with Arista. Led by Kiya Heartwood and Kopana Terry, Stealin Horses saw their share of misfortune, including a constantly revolving line-up and a label that had absolutely no idea how to market the band. "Walk Away" is from the band's self-titled Arista debut, an album that I'm just as high on today as I was when it came out almost 20 years ago. After knocking around Nashville as a trio for several years, Stealin Horses ended up moving out to Oklahoma, adding a couple of members and releasing a second album. Heartwood, a truly gifted songwriter, is currently 1/2 of the critically-acclaimed folk duo Wishing Chair."[11]
