Description:
He may not have been blessed with the photogenic looks and obvious charisma of your typical rock star, but Roy Orbison had at least two of the things that make a great artist: timeless songs, and a voice to sing 'em with. That's all on display in this hour-long 1982 performance on television's Austin City Limits. It's not Orbison's finest moment, perhaps; his band is competent but uninspired, and neither sound nor video quality is topnotch. But all is forgiven when he matches that soaring, almost operatic tenor to dramatic, heart-wrenching classics like "Only the Lonely," "Crying," "Leah," "Running Scared," and the rest (including "Pretty Woman," the rocker that may be Orbison's best-known hit). DVD extras include photos and a brief documentary about Wink, Texas, and the high school band Orbison formed while attending high school in that desolate burg. --Sam Graham
