Roy Orbison – The Best Of The Sun Years – CD

Jewel case CD
One of the most potent of all ballad performers, whose often anguished vocal style tugged at many heart strings, the late Roy Orbison began his recording career as one of the great stable of Sun artists signed to legendary producer Sam Phillips. Alongside the likes of Elvis, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy brought a different kind of mood to the label’s output. A shy and reserved man who hid behind his trademark dark glasses, Orbison nevertheless had a great emotional effect on fans who understood the tragedies that had affected his own life. Here are the early more lively, innocent songs from the 1950s, 20 tracks that give invaluable insight into his musical development, while retaining all the facets of Orbison’s unique vocal appeal.
