As country singers go, Crystal Gayle has long been a sparkling diamond in a rhinestone world. While the singer’s recently released You Don’t Know Me beautifully showcases her elegant, middle-of-the-road vocal delivery — a quality that led her to become one of the most successful crossover artists of the late Seventies — the record also pays homage to Gayle’s deep, abiding connection to vintage country music.
In the process, it becomes a heartwarming family affair as well. That family includes two sisters who co-wrote a country classic, “Don’t Come Home a-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind),” and who are both featured on the LP: Country Music Hall of Famer Loretta Lynn and fellow hitmaker Peggy Sue Wright. Together, the three siblings perform an emotional, harmony-rich rendition of “Put It Off Until Tomorrow,” a song written by Dolly Parton and her uncle Bill Owens.
