The Best Single Disc Available Covering Orbison's Entire Career,
By
This review is from: Very Best Of (Audio CD)
There are plenty of Roy Orbison collections available, but 2006's The Very Best Of Roy Orbison (not to be confused with Virgin's 1997 cd with the same title) does the best job (so far) of presenting the man's long and varied career on a single disc. Covering music from the 50's to the 80's over 24 songs, there are some pretty amazing songs on here; rockers Oh Pretty Woman, You Got It, Dream Baby and ballads Only The Lonely, Crying and In Dreams sound just as good today as they did decades ago when they were recorded.Since this is one of the few collections to combine music from the different record labels he recorded for on one disc, there's bound to be a few classics missing (Mean Woman Blues, Candy Man, Leah are probably the most obvious ones). There are also a couple of 1980's re-recordings on the disc, but they actually make sense to be included, as one (In Dreams) was redone for the 1987 movie Blue Velvet, and the other (Claudette, originally an Orbison-written hit for the Everly Brothers) sounds better in its pumped-up, rockier 80's version. Although the original classic Crying is on here, it's a shame the compliers didn't also include the beautiful 1987 duet remake with k.d. Lang. There's some rarely heard numbers here that are nice inclusions: Unchained Melody nearly outdoes the Righteous Brothers version; A Love So Beautiful showed he could still write and sing those huge operatic ballads right till the end; and the perfect vocal blending with Emmylou Harris on That Lovin' You Feelin' Again makes you wish the guy had recorded more often with her. Those looking for a more comprehensive collection focusing on Orbison's prime 60's material should probably look elsewhere, such as the two-disc compilations The Essential Roy Orbison or 50 All-Time Greatest Hits, or the single-disc For The Lonely: 18 Greatest Hits. But for a one-disc career overview, despite a few omissions, this is a great cd that showcases one of the best singers of all time, nicely remastered with some pretty good liner notes, and definitely one for the collection.
