"Before country was 'cool,' Crystal was 'class' ... n Never has one reviewer captured a platinum clad, Grammy Award winning career so beautifully in so few words. Crystal encapsulates everything the dazzling qualities of her name imply - although that name came to her in quite an unusual fashion. "Crystal" was suggested by Brenda Gail Webb's older sister, Loretta Lynn. Knowing there was already a 'Brenda Lee' currently successful in the music industry, Loretta selected the name 'Crystal' for her younger sibling when she began recording. Once re-named, Crystal's musical boundaries have since been seemingly limitless, as proven by her recent project "All My Tomorrows," a mood influenced collection of American standards. Songs such as "Cry Me a River," "Sentimental Journey," "It Had to Be You," and "Smile" somehow reach the heights their songwriters' must have dreamed of when piped through the beautiful chords of Crystal Gayle. "These are songs any artist loves to sing," said Crystal in a recent interview. "They've endured to become timeless classics." Strange to think of anyone as young and vibrant as the artist in question as a "timeless classic," but that indeed describes the course Crystal Gayle's career has taken.
