I love Roy Orbison...but I don't think I would want anyone singing his songs. I had a really hard time with Chris doing Johnny Cash last night. That was one of my criticisms of the movie, Joaquin could sing but I would rather of heard Johnny Cash's real voice. The lyrics in the song you posted were nice. I've never heard that one. i might have to go buy that c.d.
Emily, if you can find it and you love Roy Orbison, please do pick up 'Black and White Night.' If I could share my copy I'd send one to you and Jonny. This is Orbison at his absolute best. It's the only commercially available live Orbison performance, and he was joined by a number of his friends in the music business. It's from 1987. He was joined by Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, and Jennifer Warnnes. There are some FABULOUS guitar riffs on it, including a 6:35-minute-long performance of 'Pretty Woman' that ends with a long guitar riff.
I first came across it when PBS starting using the video of 'Black and White Night' for their fund-raising drives. It's enthralling. Right now as I type this, I'm listening to 'Go, Go, Go (Down the Line,' which has GREAT guitar work by all those wonderful guitarists.
