Inspired by Roy Orbison
Playlist - 15 Songs
Roy Orbison's shuddering vocal range and darkly emotional balladry embedded itself immediately in the musical firmament, surfacing in the reverb-dosed twang of The Beatles' “Please Please Me”, in ‘70s power ballads like Harry Nilsson's “Without You” and in ‘80s offerings such as Cheap Trick's “The Flame”. Orbison's slow-burn brooding hovers over Chris Isaak's 1989 hit “Wicked Game”, and even creeps into the new millennium via Nicole Atkins and Eliza Rickman.
