Probably more for the oldies, but a hugely underrated artist.
It’s a tv fest of Roy Orbison on BBC 2. Recording all of them, the man was a genius song writer (mostly pretty dark) and had a voice made in heavenProbably more for the oldies, but a hugely underrated artist.
Seen it a number of times, T Bone Burnett (the premier guitar player on the gig) and JD Souther and Jackson Browne are also on there.Don't know whether it's on tonight, but there's a brilliant live gig in black and white with amongst others, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Rait and k.d. lang.
Well worth seeking out![]()

His range in ‘In dreams’ probably puts him up there as one of the greatest ever.Absolutely brilliant singer, even more amazing was the fact that he was a heavy smoker but still sounded like an angel.
