Crystal Gayle 20 Great Love Songs All her greats are on here plus unknown ones,but good ones. Thanx for the quick delivery. . Oldies but Goodies As such, this album's title speaks for itself. Call me sentimental, but I love highly emotional songs, especially when sung well by a female singer who loves to sing. "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" makes my green eyes red; "Someday soon" always elicits a tear or two; "I still miss someone" evokes some sad memories. Mind you, I could do without "When I dream" (too sappy even for me). In other words, this album reflects the best of the pop-country crossover genre, of which Crystal Gayle is surely one of the originators. A GREATEST HITS COLLECTION It contains her massive 1977 hit Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue plus the next year's number one, Heart Mender. 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. 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. Super Hits. This album is quite generous . The BEST Crystal Gayle collection around. . . concerning some other skimpy compilations available on the market. The recordings and Crystal's vocals are splendid. You can never get tired of listening to "Beyond You" & "I Wanna Come Back To You". Strictly Recommended.
