On the threshold of that open door, Heidi Newfield and Trick Pony bandmates Keith Burns and Ira Dean poured out what she calls "My ode to the group" in what would be the threesome's final songwriting session together. Days before announcing her departure from the platinum-selling band that had earned four top 20 singles, an ACM Best New Artist award, and an army of fans for their rabble-rousing honky-tonk brand of country music, Heidi had a lot on her mind. "I love the road— but when I stopped wanting to pack my bag and get on the bus, that was a telltale sign it was time for a change," she recalls.
The diminutive blond who became famous for her explosive voice, rambunctious stage antics, and trademark unruly curls points out, "That was still me. But I felt that I had been painted into a corner, and I wanted to be able to branch out. I wanted to depart from that simply because I felt that I could do more. " So with a heavy heart, a deep respect for where she came from, and an artist's hunger to evolve, Heidi Newfield flew the Trick Pony coop.
