This song is a tribute to Carol Clulee, my mother, muse, best friend, and at times, only advocate, whom I lost to ill health in 2012. Her big green Plymouth Fury 8- track always had 3 tapes on hand: Best of the Everly Brothers, Best of Simon & Garfunkel, and Tapestry by Carole King. This bluesy update is a thank you for the strength, love and support that no one but her could have bestowed upon me throughout my life. Thank you, Mom. Crystal is a soulful singer with the ability to perform anything from sultry sweet blues to hard rocking rock & roll. A versatile artist known for her energetic and engaging style, Crystal brings to mind hard-hitting belters like Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin when belting out rock & funk, yet her voice has been compared to “melting butter” when singing jazz or soulful ballads. After coming of age to classic rock and Steve Perry, Crystal was strongly influenced by (Perry's influence) Sam Cooke and other classic soul artists. Though she still found she had a heart of rock & roll, she learned she had a soul of R&B. *Legendary artist Sly Stone, while working with Crystal was once noted remarking, “She reminds me of Janis [Joplin] ... only sweeter.”
