Roy Orbison looms large in Nashville legend. It was only a short time after his stint with Sun Records that he moved to Nashville and began recording the hits that we know so well. Filled with the intense emotional content that the teenagers in those early days of rock and roll immediately identified with, his songs have a special place in many of our hearts. In a rock and roll world full of contenders to the crown, Elvis having won that of King, Orbison eventually became known as The Soul of Rock and Roll. I personally always think of him as the Caruso of Rock and Roll. I guess I'm showing my age with that Caruso reference, aren't I?
In the blues-based rockabilly and rock and roll industry of the late 1950's and early 1960's, Orbison's musical and songwriting style was both unconventional and powerful. His hit tunes of that period still stand the test of time. One of those great tunes, and one I actually needed for my collection, is available right now from the Roy Orbison website. All one needs to do is to sign up as a fan, and download the song. I understand that this offer is not going to be around much longer, so if you are interested in having an MP3 of Roy Orbison's version of the great rock classic Mean Woman Blues, just navigate to www.royorbison.com and go thru a few mouse clicks and an email verification.
Personally, I am so glad that Roy Orbison's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was in 1987, two years before his untimely death by heart attack. It makes me feel good to know that he had the opportunity to see how much many of us loved him and his music.
