Lovely Ladies: Crystal Gayle and Barbara Mandrell

A couple of lovely  ladies: Crystal Gayle and Barbara Mandrell.  Today's too-young pop starlet C&W vocalists should take a few notes on how it's done from these two gals.  Best one dollar I've ever spent on vinyl.  Yup - got these two these two for just fifty cents each - from my secret record shopping store (called Half-priced Books).  Crystal's album has the great Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue.  And Babs does one of the all-time great county ballads: If Loving You is Wrong (I don't Want to be Right).  Plus song two on side one is Sleeping Single in a Double Bed.

.... and I am gearing up of National Record Store Day - tomorrow.  Look for me at Broken Records after 10 am on south State Street in Chicago.  I will have mu pocket  video camera with me to document the festivities.
