Review of Roy Orbison: Black & White NightIs it time for a new Roy Orbison revival? Maybe...maybe not, but it couldn't hurt. Orbison's sweet sound and voice, backed on this black and white night by a who's who of lead singers still stuns and gets under your skin. Joyride Media has gracefully projected Orbison's trademark, three layered stream of vocal purity, gifted phrasing and that undated nostalgic quality that Roy Orbison either invented or perfected. Many of the Orbison favorites are here, and the other music of the evening is hearing Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, KD Lange and other heavy hitters both praising and explaining Roy Orbison the musician and person -- in gracious and grateful terms and tone. While there may not necessarily be a specific time or news peg ou can tie to this special -- there's always a time and a reason to put this kind of musical and radio artistry in front of your listeners. Schedule it any evening...and maybe on Thanksgiving day. |
