Every Picture Tells a Story 8/18/20


 

You might have noticed by now that I'm a huge fan of Roy Orbison--he of the operatic voice on "Crying," "In Dreams," "Pretty Woman" and a whole bunch more.

This three-CD set claims to be "The Ultimate Collection," and I can't argue with that assessment--it features every one of Roy's major his, along with many of his minor hits and B-sides. 

Much as I love the songs mentioned above, I truly dig deeper cuts like "Goodnight," "The Crowd" and "Shadaroba" ("Fate knows what's best for you...") 

Between this set and "The Essential Roy Orbison," which I bought at Rolling Stones Records pre-Pandemic, my Orbison obsession is just about sated.
