What do you guys think of this gem ? In 1979 Roy recorded "Poor Baby (first for the Laminar Flow album) and then re-recorded for the Living Legend movie soundtrack in 1980.

From Laminar Flow -


From Living Legend -




I'm not too sure which is the best but it's great to play them both back-to-back!

Didn't know he recorded such crappy songs... :wink:

Sorry, I just don't like it although I really dig Roy.

Would that be because you just play the famous Orbison classics that came out in the sixties ?

Nope... but he recorded some really good stuff in the sixties. Never cared for his early rock'n'roll recordings, because in my opinion it just didn't work for him.
But I love his final album "Mystery Girl" and also listened a couple of times to the posthumous "King Of Hearts" album.
"Born To Love Me" is one of my favorites from Roy.
I'm pretty sure the "Laminar Flow" album contains songs that I'd like but I don't have it. Just don't like this particular song.

Sounds reasonable enough. My Friend, from the Laminar Flow record you should play Love is a Cold Wind and Hound Dog Man (Elvis tribute). Both are on YT.

yes "Heavy Load" is far better as is "Love is a cold wind"
