The Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center is thrilled to announce a night of timeless country music as the iconic Crystal Gayle takes the stage on Saturday, November 4th, 2023, at 7:30 PM CT.
Crystal Gayle, the Grammy-winning country music legend with a career spanning over five decades, will enchant fans with her hits and soulful melodies. Known for her iconic long hair and stunning vocal talent, Gayle has captivated audiences worldwide with hits such as “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” “Talking in Your Sleep,” and “When I Dream.” Her music has resonated with generations, making her a beloved figure in the world of country music.
Her recently released album, “You Don’t Know Me”, contains classic country songs that had special significance to Crystal in her youth and early career. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing and they are very much a part of my history.” Included are favorites “Ribbon of Darkness”, the first song Crystal performed on the Grand Ole Opry while in high school; old friend Eddy Arnold’s, “You Don’t Know Me”; the George Jones drinking song, “Just One More” that Loretta’s husband, Mooney, always made her sing as a youngster; and brother, Jay Lee Webb’s, “You Never Were Mine”. A special treat is the Dolly Parton / Bill Owens song “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” – the first ever recording of sisters Crystal, Loretta and Peggy Sue.
Crystal was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry as a member in January 2017 by her sister Loretta Lynn. The Academy of Country Music recognized Crystal with the 2016 Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award for her lifetime achievements in country music. And in 2009 Crystal was honored to receive her own star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame.
