Crystal Gayle is the best. Nothing she does is "just ok."

Crystal Gayle is the best. Nothing she does is "just ok."

I really loved listening to this CD which includes many hits from Crystal's recordings from the 1970's. Many of the songs predate Crystal's more sophisticated sound that she evolved to during the 80's and 90's. But nevertheless, these songs put Crystal's music on every genre of radio stations around the world. Since no box set exists that includes all of Crystals hits throughout her legendary career, this CD surely is the first collection that any listener who enjoys "Classic Crystal." Luckily for us Crystal fans, all of her recordings have now been released on CD!

This is Crystals best cd by far.
If you don't have it get it.

In the seventies Crystal Gayle (Loretta Lynn's younger sister) was one of the most successful crossover country artists and this valuable collection explains why. It contains her massive 1977 hit Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue plus the next year's number one, Heart Mender.

In addition, there are the soulful slow ballads I Still Miss Someone, Talking In Your Sleep and When I Dream, the wistful Someday Soon and another big hit, the catchy Hello I Love You. And if those weren't enough, the melodic beauties Dreaming My Dreams, Too Good To Throw Away and Cry Me A River are superb too.

It's a pity the brilliant songs Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For? and Wayward Wind from the album When I Dream have been omitted, but that's my only complaint. This is a wonderful anthology of quality country-pop containing gems aplenty.

We Must Believe In Magic / When I Dream

I bought this CD because it had "Hello I Love You", one of Crystal's greatest songs but not on any of her so-called "greatest hits" CDs. "Somebody Loves You" also makes this CD worthwhile, but the other songs are just ok.
