Classic Crystal

Amazon.com
As time passes, the sophisticated country pop created by Crystal Gayle and producer Allen Reynolds gains luster. In the '70s, Reynolds's uptown arrangements and the pure beauty of Gayle's alto were closer in tone to the countrypolitan hits of Olivia Newton-John than to the rural twang of her older sister, Loretta Lynn. Her crossover success with "Don't It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue" helped lead country music to a larger middle-American audience. In retrospect the spare, tasteful quality of her songs holds up better than the music of most of pop country stylists of the era. Of her many greatest hits collections, Classic Crystal represents the best selection of her most memorable work. --Michael McCall

Her Truly Classic Material.......2003-03-18

These hits from Crystal's United Artists tenure (1975 - 1979) are what made her a star. Over twenty years later, they hold up remarkably well. The jewel of course is her signature hit, the bluesy "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes," which crossed over to # 2 pop, while my personal favorite is the spine-tingling "Talkin' In Your Sleep." The gentle toe-tapper "Somebody Loves You" was the recording that made me first fall in love with Crystal's voice while the rollicking "Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For" has a hook that 24 years later is still stuck in my head! The lovely "When I Dream" may be Crystal's most heartfelt recording with "I'll Get Over You" her most economically effective (sparsely produced yet emotion-inducing).

I give this collection five stars because they are all great recordings and it is very thematically varied, but I wish Capitol would get with it and put out a United Artists retrospective with more tracks (Cartified Hits includes the same 10 tracks while the Madacy Best Of just substitutes "Wrong Road Again" with "Your Old Cold Shoulder"). Let's get "Shoulder," "Your Kisses Will" "Karneval," "One More Time For Mexico," and "Heart Mender," (among others) added on so we can enjoy all of Crystal's United Artists singles on one cd!

Don't it make my browneyes blue.......2001-10-26

Not much of a review. I can not find her records here in Norway.
I have only one and I must have bought this in 1995 when I was in the US. It's Greatest Hits, but my favorits are not in here.
I saw a tv production long time ago, where a man was playing an instrument like a long box with strings on. She was (among others) singing about a slamming door. Would be glad for any kind of information on this. I just loved that show or what ever it was, and I do still love her voice, her attitude and her mother whom she was presenting.It is hard to pick a favorit,'cause I love most of her songs.But I love;Half the way,-
Livi'n in these troubled times,-too many lovers and Take it easy.

Classic indeed.......2000-07-21

The unique purity of Crystal Gayle's voice is still remarkable, the songs hit one with a freshness which belies the years since they were released. Most of these tunes were my favourites of the moment, but 'When I dream' remains my all time best song to bring on a mood of contemplation. A thoroughly enjoyable collection that I heartedly recommend for a stress free evening of musical enjoyment.
