Crystal Gazing Luck Amazing

Crystal Gazing Luck Amazing is the third LP recorded by the band, The Compulsive Gamblers. The album was released June 20, 2000 by Sympathy for the Record Industry. The album's lineup consisted of Gamblers mainstays Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber on guitar and vocals. The Compulsive Gamblers began recording the album following their first European tour, which saw the addition of bassist Jeff Meier and keyboardist Brendan Lee Spengler to the Compulsive Gamblers' formerly three-piece outfit. The track Rock & Roll Nurse was covered by the band The Von Bondies on their 2001 debut album Lack of Communication.

The closing number, "Two Thieves" is dedicated to the memories of Jack Taylor (Gibson Bros, '68 Comeback) and Alan K. Crichton (The Male Nurse, Country Teasers), both of whom died drug related deaths.
