Crystal Gayle Greatest Hits (1991)
'Classic Crystal' Originally Released 1979\nOriginally Released April 1992\n'Classic Crystal' CD Edition Released March 1994\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Greatest Hits contains ten of Crystal Gayle's biggest hit singles, from "When I Dream" and "Talking in Your Sleep," to "I'll Get Over You," and her biggest signature song from 1977, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue." Certified Hits is recommended to fans of crossover country, and those getting acquainted with Gayle's career. -- Al Campbell \n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: ('Classic Crystal' - 1979) Of Gayle's many overlapping hits collections, this one's the best. Given her crossover success ("Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," included here, hit number two pop) it's interesting to note that all of these tracks were produced by Allen Reynolds, known these days for his work with Garth Brooks. -- Dan Cooper \n \nJamie's Notes: This release contains all but one of the songs on the 1979 release 'Classic Crystal.' Here is the song listing for that release:\n01. Somebody Loves You\n02. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue\n03. Ready For The Times To Get Better\n04. You Never Miss A Real Good Thing ('Till He Says Goodbye)\n05. When I Dream\n06. I'll Do It All Over Again\n07. I'll Get Over You\n08. Wrong Road Again * Not included on this release\n09. Talking In Your Sleep\n10. Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For?\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nCrystalline!!, October 3, 2001 \nReviewer: Ho Chi Minh (Texas)\nThis is a good Crystal Gayle CD for a casual Fan, not much music but it gets to the heart of Her catalouge. Skimpy notes (none), a cheap insert, but made up for by the cheap price...I think Certified Hits is exactly the same songs, and will replace this CD in stores, but track this one down, because it beats "certified" in one meaningful way...Crystal is Gorgeous on the CD Cover!! \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nGreatest Hits?, April 14, 2002 \nReviewer: Sam (Limassol, Cyprus)\nShe's one of the most gorgeous & versatile performers of her generation. Her polite and graceful voice will sure make you ask for more...The problem is that this compilation merely touches the heart of Crystal Gayles string of successes. It's a rather condensed mid-price CD which is okay for the casual listener. Recommended.\n\nAmazon.com Editorial Review ('Classic Crystal')\nAs 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 \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review ('Classic Crystal')\nHer Truly Classic Material, March 17, 2003 \nReviewer: James E. Bagley (Sanatoga, PA USA)\nThese 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). \n\nI 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! \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review ('Classic Crystal')\n\nHalf.com N/A
