“She has had her share of success on the pop charts, but Crystal Gayle is, was and always has been a country-music artist. This new collection is a ringing declaration of her loyalty to the style and to the songs she was born to sing.”
— Robert K. Oermann
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Grammy® award winning country music singer and Grand Ole Opry member Crystal Gayle is delighted to announce the release of her first new album in nearly 16 years, You Don’t Know Me. Available everywhere September 6, with a pre-sale beginning August 9, the new album is being released by Southpaw Musical Productions, and distributed by BFD in partnership with The Orchard.

Co-produced, recorded and mixed by Crystal’s son Christos Gatzimos, You Don’t Know Me is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold.

The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life.

“This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “This project is a labor of love that my son, Christos, and I produced together. It is filled with country classics that I grew up singing. They are very much a part of my history and I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. I feel very lucky to have known and worked with many of the artists who had the original hits.”

Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame.

The album’s opening track is “Ribbon Of Darkness,” a song originally written by Gordon Lightfoot. Originally released in 1965 as a single by Marty Robbins, it became his eleventh #1 hit. The song holds a special place in Crystal’s heart because it was the first song she performed at her Grand Ole Opry debut.

“This was the first song I ever sang on the Grand Ole Opry. I was 16,” said Gayle. “Loretta was sick. Mooney [Lynn] did something; I don’t know what. But they let me sing in her place. In my early years in Nashville, when I was on Decca, I opened for Marty Robbins. So I’ve heard him sing this many times. Connie Smith also had a hit with it. So the night I was inducted into the Opry cast in 2017, I asked Connie if it was okay with her that I sing “Ribbon of Darkness.”

Another popular classic country hit on the album is “Crying Time,” a song originally written and recorded by Bakersfield sound pioneer Buck Owens. The song was also recorded by Ray Charles, who won two Grammy Awards in 1967 for his version.

“I do a medley of Buck Owens songs in my shows,” says Crystal. “When I was a kid, he worked Buck Lake Ranch in Indiana. I would go whenever he was playing there, and he’d let me sing on his show. When I was 16, he wanted me to become a regular on his TV show. He asked me, but it didn’t work out.”

The album’s closing track is “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” which brings Crystal together with her sisters Peggy Sue Wright, and legendary country music icon Loretta Lynn, for a highly anticipated first-ever recorded trio of them together. The song also just happens to be co-written by another country music legend, Dolly Parton.

“Loretta and Peggy made this album very special by singing “Put It Off Until Tomorrow” with me. It is a song that we have performed together throughout the years. This is the one and only trio performance on record. We’ve done the Boston Pops together. We performed together in Lake Tahoe and Reno and a few things like that. But we’ve never actually made a record together. Peggy Sue still comes out on the road with me, singing backup harmonies. I recorded the track, then Patsy, Loretta’s daughter, asked her to sing on my album. Loretta is such an incredible singer. She got through the song right away and then went, “What’s next?” We should have recorded the whole album together! Loretta had her stroke not long after we recorded this.”

CMA’s “Female Vocalist of the Year,” for two consecutive years, she became a Grammy® Award Winner for “Best Female Vocal Performance,” thanks to her beloved “Brown Eyes” – a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing.

Gayle also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame near Lynn’s star.

Gayle was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in January 2017 by her sister and Opry legend Loretta Lynn.

THE PALEY CENTER FOR MEDIA ANNOUNCES FINAL PALEYLIVE LA PROGRAM OF THE SUMMER SEASON

The Paley Center to Host the Season Two Premiere of AMC’s Lodge 49, Followed by a Discussion with the Cast and Creative Team

The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills announced the final selection for its PaleyLive LA summer season: An Evening in Lodge 49: Season Two Premiere. The program will take place on Thursday, August 1 at 7:00pm, at the Paley Center’s Beverly Hills location.

“Upon its 2018 premiere, Lodge 49 immediately captivated television audiences,” said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center’s President & CEO. “We’re thrilled to welcome the cast and creative team and host the season two premiere of this groundbreaking show at the Paley Center.”

Lodge 49 is AMC’s critically praised and endearing modern fable about a disarmingly optimistic local ex-surfer, Dud (Wyatt Russell), who’s drifting after the death of his father and collapse of the family business. The show finds a lyrical beauty in the Long Beach, California setting, and in the sometimes bruised relationships between its central characters. Jim Gavin (Author, Middle Men) serves as creator, writer, and executive-producer alongside showrunner Peter Ocko (Pushing DaisiesThe Office). Additional executive producers include Paul Giamatti (Billions, Sideways, Outsiders, Hoke), Dan Carey (OutsidersHokeJohn Dies at the EndAll Is Bright) and Jeff Freilich (Halt and Catch FireGrace and Frankie).

In season one, Dud finds himself on the doorstep of a rundown fraternal lodge where a middle-aged plumbing salesman and “Luminous Knight” of the order, Ernie (Brent Jennings), welcomes him into a world of cheap beer, easy camaraderie and the promise of Alchemical mysteries that may—or may not—put Dud on the path to recover the idyllic life he’s lost. In season two, the beloved fraternal order is suffering under new rule by an ill-suited leader. Despite his “Knight” and mentor Ernie’s lost faith, and his twin sister Liz’s (Sonya Cassidy) struggle with their past, Dud believes he is the key to restoring the Lodge to its former grandeur and putting the rightful king on the throne.

The Paley Center will screen the season two premiere followed by a discussion with the cast and creative team including: Wyatt Russell, “Sean ‘Dud’ Dudley”; Sonya Cassidy, “Liz Dudley”; Brent Jennings, “Ernie Fontaine”; Eric Allan Kramer, “Scott Miller”; and executive producers Jim Gavin and Peter Ocko.

“I’m so excited to kick off season two at the Paley Center. The doors to the lodge are open to all our fans who have sworn a solemn oath to protect the secrets of the Ancient and Benevolent Order of the Lynx. Plus anyone who else shows up and seems cool,” shared Gavin.

PaleyLive programs offer television fans the rare opportunity to engage with the casts and creative teams of their favorite television shows in intimate settings at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills. All PaleyLive programs are selected by the Paley Center to not only expand society’s understanding of the cultural, creative, and social significance of television, but also for their ability to educate and entertain the public.

Radio Broadcast:  Friday, July 12 at 8 p.m. local time on iHeartMedia’s Pop, Hot AC and Rhythm Radio Stations

Featured quotes from Ed Sheeran include:

“Blow” featuring Bruno Mars & Chris Stapleton

When asked, “Why the hell y’all did a rock record,” Sheeran simply replied, “Because, exactly that.” He added, “I think people do not expect that any time I play that to anyone, the first cord instantly people [are surprised], and I love that.”

Ed also explained how the song and its classic rock sound came together. Stapleton initially had the track’s guitar riff, and it just grew from there after the country star and Bruno got together to mess around with it. Now, Ed is inspired to get a band for his live shows because of the profound rock sound. He says, “Throughout my whole career, I’ve never had an excuse to get a band, and now, that’s an excuse to maybe tour with a band. Because I think playing that live would be a different level.” Sheeran adds, “I think people like my loop pedal, and no one’s seen me with a band, and I think you can have a show that [incorporates both]. I think it’s time to have a show that incorporates both of them, personally.”

“South of the Border” featuring Camila Cabello & Cardi B

On why he chose Cardi B and Camila: “I’ve always wanted to make a song with Cardi B. Cardi B, just personality wise, even if you had her talking on a song. I love her, Cherry’s obsessed with her. I’ve got to meet her a few times; she’s very animated, very lovely, so I’ve always wanted her on a record. I met Camila in 2013 at the VMAs when she was in Fifth Harmony. We’ve kind of always kept in touch, and she’s very, very, very sweet, very, very nice. [The song] has a Latin flavor, you could say that. [Camila] is from Cuba, she speaks fluent Spanish, and Cardi’s Dominican, and I just felt like it was a good mix.”

On what he loves the most about Cardi B: “I love how unfiltered she is. Literally. She’s so media trained not to be media trained, like, her whole schtick is she goes on and says whatever she wants, and that is what works for her, whereas I never had a media training either, and I feel like I get to just say what I want. And she’s successful because she is who she is. There’s no one else that can be Cardi B — and there’s gonna be countless people now that try to be.”

“Cross Me” featuring Chance The Rapper & PnB Rock

On what made working with Chance The Rapper so special: “You can just tell, just from the way that his approach was to it. His whole verse, that line ‘Never say hi to me without her’ … you can’t teach that level of respect. He’s obviously been brought up with a very, very strong, loving mother, and probably with a lot of women around him. It’s good.”

On writing love songs from a different angle: “It’s about finding different angles now, for me. I’ve done ‘Thinking Out Loud,’ I’ve done ‘Perfect,’ I’ve done the love songs. It’s about finding different angles now to do that.”

Cherry’s reaction to this song: “She likes it a lot. But I think she likes the message of it, because it’s quite … it makes her feel like a badass as well. You originally hear the song, and it sounds like it’s me being like, ‘Well I’m gonna be protective,’ but actually [it’s both].”

“Take Me Back to London” featuring Stormzy

On how UK rap has influenced him and working with Stormzy: “I think rap in general [has influenced me], but UK rap was the first intro for me into this, was me doing that Collaborations thing. And I’ve been working with UK artists since then, but we’ve kind of been friends for a very, very long time, but never really worked together. He [Stormzy] remixed ‘Shape of You’ for me, but never really worked together on a song. Everything happens for a reason, and I feel like this [song] happened for a reason.”

“Best Part of Me” featuring Yebba

On how he chooses the artists he wants to work with: “You should only be working with people you think are better than you, so it helps you grow as a person. Like, when I did the song with Beyoncé, she definitely bodied me on that. The song with [Andrea] Bocelli, like, these people are at the peak of their game.”

On his relationship with Yebba & how the song came together: “I had taken her on tour in 2017, so we were in touch anyway, and she came to see my Wembley show recently and we reconnected there. We had been on e-mail and she sent me demos of her songs that I’ve listened to and stuff like that. We’ve always had a really cool relationship. I got on the phone with her one day, and I was like ‘I have this song.’ [I] sent it to her, she sent back her verse, and I was like, we have to get in and make sure that the chorus lifts and we can sing it together, and it sounds like we’ve actually been in the same room and made it. A song like that, you can’t really make remotely, you have to be in the same room. Sometimes I play people artists, and some people will be like, ‘Oh my God, this is the best thing in the world!’ And some people will be like, ‘I just don’t get it.’ But, there’s no one that doesn’t get her [Yebba]. It’s so easy to get. It’s just like, ‘Wow, she’s incredibly talented.'”

On how this song relates to him and his life Cherry: “I constantly wake up everyday, with Cherry, and I’m just like, ‘Why the f*** are you with me? You could literally be with whoever you want, and you chose me. I’m saying all of the things that I think are wrong with me, and you still wanna me with me.’ And i just find that amazing.”

“Remember the Name” featuring Eminem & 50 Cent

On how working with Eminem is a childhood dream: “I had two songs I always wanted to do with Eminem. I was like, ‘If I ever get to work with Eminem, there’s two songs I wanna do.’ One’s an introspective story and one is something that is more of a nod towards some of the cheekier songs on the Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show. And I was like, when I work with him, because in my mind, I was always like, ‘It’s going to happen, I’ve just got to wait,’ I’ll do those two songs. And one led to the other. So, I did the ‘River’ song with him for the Revival record, and then through that, got to him. And then I was able to sit down with him in Detroit and approach him with this song, and it didn’t feel weird. And now I feel like I’ve ticked my two boxes. Feels good.”

He adds, “If you could’ve told 12-year-old me I would rap on a song with Eminem when I was older, like, so many people say that I can’t rap, but I’m allowed on a song with Eminem and 50 Cent rapping. So, why does it matter?”

“I Don’t Care” featuring Justin Bieber

On why he chose Justin Bieber for this song (also how their relationship began after meeting at Z100 in NYC): “Bieber just got married. I just got married. That song is about the person you love, and kind of just being like ‘F*** this, let’s just have fun ourselves.’ It was actually Cherry’s idea, because she was like, ‘Oh, why don’t you get Bieber? He’d be perfect for this, he just fits it.’ I have quite a good relationship with him. I met him at (New York City’s) Z100. He came up and said, ‘Oh I’m a big fan,’ and I was like, ‘Wow, have you heard my music?’ So we kept in touch. I wrote some songs for him and with for his projects. We’ve just hung out a bunch of times. I wanna work with Bieber. He’s just got one of these voices that works on anything, and he’s got personality when he sings.”

On his social anxiety: “I used to be super social at industry functions. My hobby was to go out and meet people that I admired, and go out and drink with them, and end up at a bar. That was my favorite thing to do. So, I ended up meeting all my musical heroes, and going out to bars with them and having fun with them. And then now, when I go to these events, I just have social anxiety. I hate large groups of people, which is ironic, because I play shows for a living. But, I just feel claustrophobic and don’t like being around too many people.”

Later on he adds, “I don’t mind talking to people. I have no problem with having a conversation with people. It’s just when people film me and sh*t, and just stare at me. It makes me feel weird, because it makes me feel like I’m not human. If you’re coming up and having a conversation with me, it makes me feel human, even if we’ve never met. The thing that instantly shuts me off is having a moment like that with someone that’s so human and so nice, and then being like, ‘Can I have a picture?’ It kind of then puts you back down to Earth and then you’re literally just 15 likes on Instagram. That’s what you are.”

“Antisocial” with Travis Scott

“Antisocial” is almost an extension of “I Don’t Care,” in relation to his social anxiety, and Sheeran explained that Travis Scott is similar to him in that way. He says, “He has it, and we were talking about it, and I think he’s very lucky that the girl that he’s with [Kylie Jenner]. He says that they have a similar thing where that they just have their little circle.”

He added of Kylie’s family and siblings, “They’re all different, aren’t they? They all want different things. I don’t really know. But, he struck me as someone that I had a lot in common with, basically. He doesn’t seem to me to be the type of person that’s chasing fame. It’s all to better himself as an artist.”

“Beautiful People” featuring Khalid

On why he chose Khalid for this song: “His voice is so crisp, and warm, and so full, but in a very weird way. He’s got runs that aren’t soul runs, he’s runs that folk music. Like, he’s a soul singer who sings like a folk artist. He sings in a very unique way. But, that song for me is warmth. It just feels cozy. And it sounds weird to say his voice is cozy as well, but that was my initial thing. He’s definitely the same as me, he doesn’t strike me as someone who is glitz and glam.”

On why he hated living anywhere else outside of Suffolk, England: “Miserable. I hated it. Now, I like going to LA, because I go in for like, three days and see people I love. And then I’m gone. But, it’s the same everywhere. Like, I was miserable when I lived in New York as well, because, I just have to be home. There’s a book that I read called His Dark Materials, and it’s about parallel worlds. And there’s this guy who has a knife that can cut into other worlds, and his dad has discovered the worlds before him, and his dad ended up dying because he was away from his world for so long; it drained him being in this other world. For me, being in, not just England, but in Suffolk, just keeps me … even on tour, I’ll come back here and I’ll feel revitalized. I’m not American. I don’t belong in America. Just like you living here [in England], you’d probably get sad and some point, and be like, ‘I need to go back to Carolina, I need to go back to Jersey.'”

On how he got sucked into the LA celeb scene: “I definitely did, for like, six months, that was it, I was in. Hangin’ out with people who were on Disney shows once upon a time, and we were like, hangin’ out in backyards, everyday I’d meet someone new, and it would be like, ‘This is so-and-so who is in this movie,’ and ‘so-and-so’ who did this song, and just, I don’t know, you get sucked up in that world.”

“I Don’t Want Your Money” featuring H.E.R.

On why he’ll never play a NYE show: “I will always turn down every single offer for New Year’s Eve gigs, just because I’d rather spend it with my family and friends. And it happened very early on in my career, because I’ve never wanted much and I achieved a level of success, financially, very early on that I was happy with. So, ever since then, I now can’t be bought, because I don’t need it. But, that isn’t because now I’m now doing a stadium tour, that was, like, back then doing theaters.”

On how H.E.R. came to be on this song: “I really liked her album and became a fan of her from there. When I found out she was a fan of me, I then asked her to be on this. Because you can’t ever assume that people just wanna do records with you.

“1000 Nights” featuring Meek Mill & A Boogie wit da Hoodie

On what being “On for 1000 Nights” means: “Touring. I had been on tour for, it’s not technically a thousand nights, but almost like 700/800 nights on tour. So, it was basically, New York, to London, to a different city every day. I don’t really remember 2014/2015. it does all become a blur, but then, I now bring my best friends on tour. So, I’ve got four best friends out with me, and we enjoy it all together now. So it’s not really a blur, because we remember going to nice dinners, and then we go out to nice things, and go back to my hotel room, and have a bottle of wine.”

On why he chose Meek Mill and A Boogie: “Originally, I had a different beat, and when I made the beat, it was … and Meek actually said it when I played it to him, he was like, ‘You know my tempo.’ And for me, it just sounded like a Meek song. I always try and go two verses, I always try and go for two 24 bars, and we had done 16 bars, and it just seemed too short. And I had just bought Hoodie SZN, and I thought I’d reach out to him.”

“Put It All On Me” featuring Ella Mai

On why he’s so intrigued by Ella Mai: “I, like the rest of the world, heard ‘Boo’d Up,’ and then I found out she’s from Mitcham, in south London, and it just blew my mind, because it’s so rare, one, for English people to have success in America, but two, for English people to have success in America before England. She’s big there, but before here. So, I was intrigued by her anyway. Someone I knew had a concept for her, so when we were making that song, I remember we were saying, ‘What girl do we know that could be on this?’ And me and Fred, who made the tune, we were both like, ‘We should get Ella Mai.’ And I was like, ‘I know someone that knows her.’ So, we had that wrapped up in two days. Because usually, you do the song, and then you have to get in touch with the artist, and then it’s finding a day to do the studio. We sent it off to Ella Mai the day we wrote it, and then I think she recorded her bits two days later.”

“Feels” featuring Young Thug & J Hus

On working with Young Thug and J Hus: “I first heard him when he did the ‘Rich Gang’ … and I didn’t really get it. I think it was that Jeffery project that really made me understand it. And he’s got a tone that is, sometimes you don’t understand what he’s saying, but the way that he does it is just musical. So, I was always very intrigued to work with him. Hus is always someone that I’ve always wanted to work with. There’s not really anyone like him in the UK industry, so in his own lane. The worst thing I find, is when you have blatantly label things where they leave like a 16 at the end, and I never wanted to do that with Hus. So, I feel like if you’re gonna do a song with Hus, it needs to fit in. I got his number, and then I FaceTimed him. But usually, every single person I’ve worked with, I’ve never not had some sort of relationship with them.”

“Way To Break My Heart” featuring Skrillex

His favorite Skrillex story: “I’ve worked with him before. Actually, I have a great story about Skrillex. He came to Chicago to work on a track. Afterwards, he was like, ‘Let’s go out to a bar.’ So, just me and him and my touring crew went out to this bar, and he was like, ‘F*** man, this bar sucks. Like, the music’s just not…’ I don’t know what was happening, and he was like, ‘I got my laptop in my bag, should I just do a set?’ And they’re like, ‘OK.’ So, Skrillex got up in this bar in the middle of f***ing nowhere in Chicago, and just did a three hour set for anyone in the bar. And they just locked the doors and kept everyone in, it was amazing.”

“Nothing On You” featuring Paulo Londra & Dave

On working with Dave and how they met: “I gave [Dave] the choice of two [songs]. I really, really wanted to get him on the project. So I did two songs, and he chose that one. But, I think it’s good to have him on something a little bit different, because he does a lot of deep stuff for his stuff.”

He added of the backstory of their relationship: “I met him at, there’s an awards show over called the Ivor Novellos, and they have three main awards. There’s Best Song, Most Played Song, and then Songwriter of the Year, and that’s it. And I won Songwriter of the Year, and he won Best Song. There’s only three of them a year, they’re really difficult to win. So, I met him there, and we swapped e-mails and we’ve just been back and forth. I like talking to, I say ‘up and coming’ people, but I love the ‘new wave’ coming through. And it was one of those things where I’m putting the project together, it would just feel like a bit of a shame not to have him on it. So, I’m glad we could make it work. The other artist is a guy from Argentina that I’ve recently become a fan of called Paulo Londra.”
