Roy Orbison was a highly influential American singer-songwriter, born on April 23, 1936 in Vernon, Texas. He achieved remarkable success in the UK during the "beat boom" of 1963-5 and experienced a resurgence with the Traveling Wilburys shortly before his untimely death at the age of 52. Inducted into both the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, Orbison's impact on music is undeniable.

With his unique voice and emotive songwriting, Roy Orbison captivated audiences worldwide. His contributions to rock and roll have left an indelible mark on the industry. Alongside his successful solo career, he collaborated with other legendary artists as part of the iconic supergroup, Traveling Wilburys.

Influenced by artists such as The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly, Orbison's musical style encompassed elements of rockabilly, pop, and country. His timeless hits like "Oh Pretty Woman" and "Crying" continue to resonate with listeners today. Despite his tragic passing outside Nashville in December 1988, Roy Orbison's legacy lives on through his music.

Reissue of the third record from Roy Orbison on Monument Records, recorded at its studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee and released in 1963. The album is named for the hit 45rpm single. In 2004 Rolling Stone named the song 'In Dreams' one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Half of the cuts were recorded during the sessions for Lonely and Blue. Orbison's voice was never better than on this recording. The heights he reaches on 'Lonely Wine', the swaggering Country and R&amp;B of 'Blue Avenue' and 'My Prayer' are simply mind-blowing. The emotion and deep atmospherics of the tunes here reflect Foster's sophistication, but also Orbison's willingness to develop himself as a singer and as a persona.
