Product Details

The Very Best of Roy Orbison is an essential compilation album that spans his entire music career. It features his sweeping vocal range, tragic romanticism, and operatic pop ballads, including iconic hits like "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," and "Only the Lonely". This compilation covers the span of Orbison's career, from his early rockabilly days with Sun Records in the 1950s to his brilliant Monument Records era in the 1960s, and his late 1980s resurgence with Virgin Records. The collection beautifully captures the dual nature of his work: the lush, heart-wrenching orchestrations on tracks like "In Dreams" and "Crying," alongside his more upbeat, playful rockers like "Blue Bayou" and "You Got It".
