Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl .jpg) .gif) By Tom Lanham
Tragedy of tragedies: Sun Records legend Roy Orbison passed away only a
few weeks after issuing this sunny comeback in 1989. Rescued from the
oldies also-ran circuit by his membership in the Traveling
Wilburys--alongside fellow legends Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison,
and ELO's Jeff Lynne--the Wayfaring One implemented these stellar pals and
others on Mystery Girl and even allowed his son to compose some
lyrics for him. Wonder of wonders: his angelic tenor rang true on every
track and set the stage for what might've been a huge pop-culture
renaissance. No need to fret about the "if only"s. One spin
through the radio-chummy "You Got It," and the "Pretty
Woman" legacy is crystal clear. We're lucky he was able to record it.

"Mystery Girl is my ALL TIME favorite! My step-daughter was living in Greenwich Village, working for a recordinfg company in the city. She sent this to me for my Birthday. Several years ago, a friend and I visited NYC, stayed at her apt. at One Christor. Wonderful accomodations! We played Mystery Girl over and over! Just played it again!" --Shar |
