Not only does this album
feature Roy Orbison’s classic hits from all of his early and
mid-career record labels, including “Oh Pretty Woman” and “Ooby
Dooby,” but it also contains prime cuts from his smash posthumous
release, Mystery Girl, and its follow-up, King of Hearts,
as well as two Traveling Wilburys tracks!
The 1989 Mystery Girl and
1992 King of Hearts albums present Orbison at his finest, with
a modern, updated sound from the Traveling Wilburys era courtesy of
producer Jeff Lynne. The songs represented here include “You Got
It,” “California Blue,” and “She’s a Mystery to Me” from
Mystery Girl, and “I Drove All Night” and “Heartbreak
Radio” from King of Hearts.
The Traveling Wilburys close
out the collection with the Orbison-led “Not Alone Anymore” and
the George Harrison-led “Handle with Care,” the latter featuring
refrains by Orbison. (They could have also included “It’s
Alright,” but that’s alright.)
So if you’re looking for
one album with all the essential highlights, this is it.
This is a must-have for both
casual and diehard fans.
