His last album, and many say it was his best, though to be fair, Roy was never really an "album artist".
Released in 1988, it managed the surprising feat of sound modern, and at the same time sounding like vintage Roy Orbison. That's probably because although many of the songs were self-penned, he was also helped out in the writing and production department by such luminaries as Bono and The Edge, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
There are really no dud tracks; there are a couple that are a bit ho-hum, the rest are excellent.
Worst track: The Only One
Best track: California Blue
Overall rating: 9/10
