I was a bit nervous about a second Roy Orbison album, because although Roy recorded a lot of songs, only a about a dozen where really big, international, hits and 75% of those where on a "A Love So Beautiful". I am talking here of "Only The Lonely", "Crying", "In Dreams", "Running Scared", "Dream Baby", "It's Over", "Oh Pretty Woman" and "You Got It". I didn't want this album to sound like a left overs album and thankfully it doesn't.
Why doesn't it? Well the once again there is strong representation on this album from Roy's finest studio album "Mystery Girl", with "She's A Mystery To Me", the wonderful "The Comedians", "Careless Heart" and the great "California Blue". Also, some of the gaps are plugged from the first album with "Blue Bayou", "Falling", and "Too Soon To Know". "Heartbreak Radio" from the posthumous "King of Hearts" gets a welcome second airing too.
But, most of all the combination of the respectuful augmentation of the orchestra to the voice, make another soaring album. Like with the Elvis albums in this series, The Royal Philharmonic can open the taps a little bit without fear of overpowering the singer. "Walk On" is a good example to mention in this respect. This is why, for me the efforts with The Beach Boys and Buddy Holly this year cannot be rated as highly as either Elvis's or Roy's albums.
I hope The Royal Philharmonic doesn't spoil this concept that started with Elvis and "If I Can Dream", by releasing too many of these albums, too quickly, especially with artists who don't quite have the voices to allow the orchestra to reach its peek.
Elvis and Roy, The King and The Dark Prince, do it best.
