Love Album, The - Roy Orbison

Advantages: The Very Best Of The Big O
Disadvantages: I had to review 41 Songs... phew

..., it sounds fresh, new and different. 2. I Drove All Night Great sing-along song, evoking amusing memories of the video for me. As a stand alone strong it is very powerful, excellent driving rhythm to it. An excellent song to drive to, for that matter. This is a power ballad in the finest sense, and much superior to Cyndi's version. 3. She's A Mystery To Me Written for Roy by Bono, a fact I hadn't realised at first, I had not heard this before buying the album. Bono obviously wanted to stretch him with a high pitched chorus and he rose to the challenge brilliantly. A good love song which with a lesser artist may have sounded syrupy but Roy's vocal quality makes it sound , as with all his love songs, like he's just being honest. 4. Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) Infectious. If I hear this song once it goes round in my head... Read review

This song was as much to do with his love for his car as is was to do with the love of a woman. 20. Pretty paper - This is a live recording from a TV show in America. Not sure which. Christmas song, quite sweet lyrics but not one of his better songs. A 1963 Christmas Hit, and the only acoustic version of this song. 21. Goodnight - Quite sedate but still anice song. A 'Hidden Surprise' on the end of the CD.No info is given for this song. Sorry! Page Nine and Ten Lists all song writers, producers and publishers.

...He was born in 1913 and died of a heartattack in 1988. Well, I have been listen to Roy Orbison for many years, and I just want to tell others that he is just the best. the Danish colllection my mom send me, is simply the best. I think that you can hear him anywhere, and that his voice is just great. When my daddy died of cancer, I was listening to Roy Orbison, some of his songs just got me hanging in there,especially the song" In Dreams " Everyday when I drove home from the hospital crying, I was listening to him, and it maked me wanna go on, maybe it was just, because I needed something, but anyhow, his music is just great and lovely. And the music are not just for old people!!!!! The album is called The Danish collection - "The very best of Roy Orbison" The songs on this album that I just love is: In Dreams California Blue...
