Customer Reviews reason It is a very good cd but all i want is one song off of it . A great contemprary country album In fact, this 1992 set of songs sounds like it could come out today. A fantastic collection of songs, worth having. I bought it when it was new, pulled it out recently and was pleasantly surprised to see how well it has held up. Crystal's voals, as always, are superb. Her sweet-sultry honey-soaked voice is in top form. And it's nice to hear Crystal move beyond her usual set of love ballads she's done in the past (excellently, by the way) to the countrier, more story-oriented side of things. She doesn't often record songs with choruses like "If the Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me," a nice mid-tempo ode to leaving heartbreak behind. "Three Good Reasons" is the catchy title track about a single mom learning to make it on her own; I've never heard Crystal sing a story like this and both she and the song really lift you up as it goes along. Of course, with Crystal there's got to be a searing ballad, and with "A Rose Between Two Thorns" she delivers a poignant song about divorce with an exquisite tear in her voice. I'll admit I'm a fan, but I think anyone with country leanings and a penchant for a skilled, beautiful voice will really enjoy these songs. Can't understand why this wasn't a huge comeback album for Crystal--it should have been. . You can see a complete list of all Crystal Gayle discography, or go back to the Crystal Gayle tabs
