This week Country-pop legend Crystal Gayle joins me for an intimate conversation about family, faith, and finding her own voice beyond her sister Loretta Lynn’s towering shadow. From her Kentucky roots in Butcher Holler to her record-breaking crossover hit “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” Gayle reveals how she transformed from a shy small-town girl into a Grammy-winning superstar and international touring artist.
In this candid Arroyo Grande interview, Crystal Gayle opens up about growing up in a musical family, crafting her smooth signature sound with producer Allen Reynolds, and becoming one of the first artists to successfully bridge country and pop decades before Taylor Swift or Shania Twain. She also reflects on her long marriage, faith, and why she still performs today—with the same warmth and humility that defined her rise to fame.
Don't miss this amazing show and thank you for always being there. Best, Raymond
