Crystal Bernard - Don't Touch Me There

Lovely, Underrated!

Crystal Bernard has an angels' voice.

I love this CD so much, I wish I could express how it makes me feel.

I listen to it to pick me up when I'm having a bad day.

If you like pop music, why not try her angelic voice today.

A fine singer-songwriter

Crystal is more famous as an actress but this album demonstrates her considerable musical talents. Crystal wrote two of the songs alone and co-wrote five of the others with her record producer, David Rhyne. The music may be described as easy-listening pop-country music.

The opening track, Hey, is about a former lover who decides he wants to return, but Crystal isn't going to allow that. Next comes the title track, also about a former lover (perhaps the same one) who Crystal wants to stay away but he still has an effect on hrr, so it's not as simple as she would like. After this comes a song (We don't live there anymore) that reminisces about the good times that are long gone.

Crystal cheers up on the next track (To dream without you), a happy duet with country singer Billy Dean. The next song (Here's looking at you) seems at first to be a happy song, but it later becomes clear that the man that Crystal remembers so well is no longer interested in her. Next comes a song (Love never ends) about a woman whose partner died six years ago but she still remains faithful. Then comes a sad song (Gardenia) about somebody who had a brief moment of fame that was never recaptured.

Another sad song (Music biy) is about a woman who declines the offer of marriage because she tried before with somebody else but failed and decided to remain independent. Next is a song (Something to go on) about the start of a relationship, where Crystal wants to know if the man is serious or not. The album closes with a duet (If you need a touch) in which Crystal and her father recommend placing faith in God.

Crystal never established herself as a major singing star but she didn't need to and maybe didn't want to. This was her second and (as far as I know) last album, but it is definitely worth a listen. July 18, 2005

How do we get her to record more of such great music?

I own both albums and I've listened to them with great pleasure many, many times. This album is the better of the two, but both are very good. Much better than many other contemporary debut albums. This one was out of stock at Amazon, but I found it through another outlet. She is an unexpected and brilliant talent. So how do we get her to record more? I'd buy more in a heartbeat. April 4, 2004

Don't touch me there

How can I begin to say how much I have enjoyed this cd. Her voice is smooth, strong, and chilling. I would just like to know why record companys haven't been fighting to get her to record more. I truly beleive that she could be as good as Celine, if only given a chance to get her hands on some of the songs given to Celine. September 5, 2002

Sensational

What a wonderful CD! I've enjoyed her talent on television but was amazed at her voice. Her music is strong and emotionally felt. Truly a masterpiece. April 16, 2001
