(July 2022) Episode 424 is ROY ORBISON. He’s in the pantheon of early rock-n-roll icons, but also stands apart. For one, his melodic crooner voice contrasted with the bombast of his peers. And his music resided discretely at the intersection of rock, country and pop. Again, I’m not a listener of early rock-n-roll, but his songs don’t sound as much like museum pieces as those of fellow icons. With Lefty, I have now reviewed all the Traveling Wilburys.
Favorite album: In Dreams
Favorite song: Oh, Pretty Woman
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: mostly for historical interest


The hard-to-find album with Slayer and Roy will forever be a pairing that very few will relish.
