Old School New Rules - U-Roy

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...I originally bought this album for my mother, and well since she's in a different country and disappeared yonder - I guess she can't have it! Roy Orbison was one of the best in his time and with hits like 'I drove all night, 'Only the lonely', 'You got it', 'Crying' and 'She's a mystery to me', this is the album for the oldies. (Well, not old folk exactly, but you know what I mean). Roy Orbison has a very deep voice I find and if he needs to hit the high notes, he doesn't have a problem at all. This record is great whether you are young or old, or don't even know who Roy Orbison is! It's all musical education!... Read review

...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 all day. Not a bad... Read review
