EXTD=AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Finally, Roy Orbison gets the CD remastering t
EXTD=reatment he deserves. For those who bought the big three-disc box
EXTD= a decade ago and were appalled by the shoddy sound, these reissu
EXTD=e discs (Sings Lonely and Blue, In Dreams, and Crying) have a cou
EXTD=ple of reasons for picking them up. The first is the music itself
EXTD=. Sings Lonely and Blue was an album featuring a couple of single
EXTD=s rounded out with filler. Whether this was intentional or not ma
EXTD=kes no difference; in the end, the original 12 cuts here are stel
EXTD=lar. Here is Orbison's fine-as-silk pop voice, filled with all th
EXTD=at cloudy, foggy darkness swirling inside it, singing "Only the L
EXTD=onely," "Bye Bye Love," "Cry," "Blue Avenue," "Blue Angel," and "
EXTD=I'm Hurtin'," just to name a few. The production elements are bea
EXTD=utiful, too, with the Anita Kerr Singers backing him and whirling
EXTD= strings that stroll along with Roy's rock & roll croon. Featured
EXTD= are Floyd Cramer on piano, Boots Randolph on saxophone (check hi
EXTD=s solo in "Blue Avenue" that runs counterpoint to the strings), B
EXTD=ob Moore on bass, and Jerry Byrd on pedal steel (on cuts like "Cr
EXTD=y"). Only Orbison could make a record drenched in syrup feel like
EXTD= a spooky film noir tearjerker. Sings Lonely and Blue is an early
EXTD= masterpiece, as Orbison was in full control of his gifts as a si
EXTD=nger. Fred Foster's production may have been standard Nash Vegas 
EXTD=for the time period, but Orbison's voice and songs (Orbison and J
EXTD=oe Melson wrote or co-wrote seven of the 12 tracks here, Don Gibs
EXTD=on wrote a couple, and Gene Pitney wrote "Twenty-Two Days") carry
EXTD= the track selection into the shadowy dark of risky emotions. Che
EXTD=ck Orbison's read of Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You," and see 
EXTD=if he doesn't take back what has always been recorded as a saccha
EXTD=rine tune and claim it hard for rock & roll. These new editions a
EXTD=lso contain bonus cuts, and there are four here: the original 45 
EXTD=version of "Uptown" is included (proving Orbison could rock with 
EXTD=the best of them), as are B-sides "Pretty One," "Here Comes That 
EXTD=Song Again," and a great read of Pitney's "Today's Teardrops." Am
EXTD=azing. -- Thom Jurek\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (Gold CD Edition) This
EXTD= gold-disc version of Roy's first official album (his Sun sides w
EXTD=ere released on LP after the success of "Only the Lonely," the ki
EXTD=ck-off track here) is an absolute feast for the ears, sounding li
EXTD=ke a collection of true stereo control room playbacks with remark
EXTD=able clarity. It was with this album that Orbison finally defined
EXTD= the style that would bring him to the top of the charts. Tracks 
EXTD=like "Blue Avenue," "Cry," and "Blue Angel" show him at top form,
EXTD= with Fred Foster's production adding just the right ripple and t
EXTD=insel to the proceedings. Even if listeners already have a decent
EXTD= greatest-hits package on the man, this one's definitely worth ad
EXTD=ding to the collection. -- Cub Koda\n\nAmazon.com Editorial Revie
EXTD=w\nThis 1961 album cleverly took its title from two major hits of
EXTD= the era--"Only the Lonely" and the lesser-known, but simply glor
EXTD=ious, "Blue Angel." This was still the singles era, when albums w
EXTD=ere simply vehicles to spotlight hits--but it's been said that Ro
EXTD=y could sing the phone book and make it art, so it's nice to hear
EXTD= his takes on "Bye, Bye Love," "I Can't Stop Lovin' You," and "Ra
EXTD=indrops." Because almost all his songs were lonely and blue, incl
EXTD=uding the great semi-hit "I'm Hurtin'" (featured here), it's darn
EXTD= near a concept album. This gold version of the title offers supe
EXTD=rior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD.
