My Mother was very pleased with this gift. It arrived well packed and in perfect condition.
This budget collection contains Cristy's recordings of twenty gospel songs including the song that she will be forever associated with in America, One day at a time, with which Cristy had a number one country hit. Maybe one day, I'll be able to expand my compilation of Cristy's music. Cristy's music is now much better represented on CD.
(For the record, Lena Martell had a UK number one pop hit with One day at a time. Some compilations pick from both. That song was a hit for different singers in different countries and for that reason, Cristy Lane may not be well known outside her homeland.
You can now find other compilations of her gospel music as well as her non-gospel country recordings. It was the only UK hit single of any kind that Lena had although she placed six albums in the UK album charts).Despite the strength of that classic song, there is much more to Cristy's music. Cristy had some success as a country singer (six top ten hits and three others in the top twenty) but despite making some great music, she never established herself in the front rank of female country singers.Apart from One day at a time, Cristy's country hits are all omitted from this compilation, but what you get instead are Cristy's versions of many famous gospel songs, some of which are tradtional while others are of more recent vintage, but all sound wonderful as sung by Cristy.When I bought this CD, there wasn't a lot of choice.
While this CD is enjoyable, I'm not necessarily sure that it's the best choice amongst what is now available, especially as the packaging is what you'd expect of a budget compilation. In the meantime, I can enjoy listening to Cristy sing what she's best at - easy listening country gospel songs.
I loved this CD. Christy Lane has a beautiful voice that really does justice to all the songs she sings. This is one of the nicest inspirational CDs in my collection.
The product came quickly. It was exactly as advetised and met expectations. Thank You.
Why in the world does someone sign up on a site and write one review of an album they have never heard by an artist they are woefully ignorant about.This isnt really my kind of music. [I'm much more likely to pop on some black or death metal]. but I still have some really great childhood memories of this artists music being played by my mother. Country-ish gospel music that certainly deserves better than some 1 star review by someone that doesnt even know what they are talking about.
