Customer Reviews
Happy 72nd Birthday Roy!
The late Roy Orbison would be 72 years old today (April 23, 2008.) His recorded legacy is long and significant; most people know Oh, Pretty Woman, Crying, Blue Bayou and other songs that he wrote or co–wrote. Mystery Girl was his comeback album as a solo artist. It was released in February 1989, following Roy's untimely death in December 1988. It is a magnificent album, with nary a weak track. You Got It reached the Top 10 on Billboard as a single; the album itself reached the Top 10 on Billboard. Although all the songs are Orbison style, check out A Love So Beautiful, Mystery Girl and Careless Heart, in particular. The voice soars as the drama builds in the music – a style Roy was known for in the early 60's when he had hit after hit. Yes, this album compares most favorably with the Big O's best days at Monument Records. It is highly recommended!!
Roy's best
I find this album to be Roy's best. Jeff Lynne's production is impecable as always and the songs are all great. "You Got It" is a big hit, everyone knows. "She's a Mystery to Me" was composed by Bono and The Edge, from U2 and is a fantastic ballad. "The Comedians", despite being labeled "live version" sounds to me like the same studio cut from the original album, and it's a great song written by Elvis Costello. "(All I Can Do Is) Dream You" was inexplicably replaced by a live version here. "Windsurfer" features a great slide guitar, reminds me of George Harrison. "Careless Heart" is a beautiful song which used to close the album, but this iTunes release features a bonus 11th track. Highly recommended.
Not only does.....
Not only does this album include the cover tune "mystery girl", but some of the other songs are awesome as well, like You Got It, California Blue, and The Comedians.... (which might be the live song off of black and white night??) Nevertheless, it is a great album....
