Roy Orbison - Hank Williams The Roy Orbison Way

180-gram vinyl reissue

Hank Williams The Roy Orbison Way was originally released in August of 1970. This album includes a rocking version of "Hey Good Lookin" with an arrangement that has horns following the bass line and actually starts off with loud dirty guitar. Roy's take on "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)" is best described as uber-loungy. The trance-like "Kaw-Liga" is the divergence from the norm on this record. Starting with a slamming tom-tom drumbeat, "Kaw-Liga" is mean in the verses and honest country in the choruses.
