| | Roy Orbison For The Lonely: 18 Greatest Hits CD Roy Orbison Discography of CDs
(2 Customer Reviews)
The ghostly croon of Roy Orbison occupies a world somewhere between dreams and waking, where heartache walks hand in hand with happiness. This is the world Orbison inhabits in songs like "Dream Baby." The deceptively upbeat, Everly Brothers-style rocker wears an outward mask of confidence, but very close to the surface lies the desire-driven psychological turbulence that is Orbison's stock in trade. Similar turf is explored throughout this mighty compilation, on such indelible tracks as "In Dreams" and "Only the Lonely." Orbison's more straightforward rockabilly origins are represented by "Candy Man" (actually co-written by folk troubadour Fred Neil), "Ooby Dooby," and "Mean Woman Blues." FOR THE LONELY closes effectively with the classic "Oh, Pretty Woman," where Orbison turns his heartbreak around for once, aided considerably by a tough-as-nails guitar-and-drum riff.
Recorded between 1956 & 1964.

For The Lonely: 18 Greatest Hits CD music
$11.89 The jewel in the Beau Brummels' crown, Triangle was an unexpected departure from the band's earlier hit-making formula -- and demonstrated Ron Elliott's growing maturation as a songwriter. All the band's signature styles (folk, country swing, and Brit-pop) are still heard in the mix, but the tunes here assume an added aura of mysticism. Buried commercially by the likes of Sgt. Pepper, Triangle shared its premise of songs loosely united by a common theme -- in this case, a ruminative dream cycle (though to call Triangle a concept album might be overstating the ...
| | Who's Next CDs (1971) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
For The Lonely: 18 Greatest Hits music CDs
$19.75 Recorded between 1968 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Pete Townshend, John Atkins, and Chris Charlesworth.
Though Pete Townshend was originally unhappy with WHO'S NEXT, it was quickly welcomed by critics and fans, becoming one of the most celebrated titles in their enduring catalog. His frustrations boiled down to the album being a compromised version of a larger work he'd envisioned, LIFEHOUSE, which proved too unwieldy to be realized. Expanded to a two-disc set with essays by both Townshend and John Atkins, the original nine-song album is expanded with six additional studio tracks.
These include earlier versions of the album's songs and a cover of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Baby Don't You Do It." Recorded in New York during the spring of 1971 in the midst of a fraying relationship ...
