Album Notes & Community Reviews

Anchored by the soaring, operatic heartbreak of its monumental title track, Roy Orbison's second album for Monument Records solidified his grand, emotive style. The lush Nashville Sound production perfectly cradled Orbison's unprecedented vocal range, charting a dramatic new course for early 1960s pop-rock.
