One of the best Crystal albums of her career

"Cage the Songbird is my favorite Crystal album. Produced by Jimmy Bowen, it is full of beautiful ballads and a few uptempos. I Don't Wanna Lose your Love is my favorite CG song and it, along with Sound of Goodbye, Turning Away, and Me Against the Night were all top 5 hits - the only time she managed that feat. The rest of the album is beautiful, esp the title track written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. This was also one of the first vinyl albums recorded digitally at the time.
Nobody Wants to Be Alone is not quite as good, but it still has some great songs. You Were There for Me, Tonight Tonight, and Coming to the Dance were all beautiful songs. The title track and Long and Lasting Love were both top 5 hits.
Definitely a cd you want to add to your Crystal collection."
