“Crying” by Roy Orbison - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1962 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
The big problem with producing magnificent works such as the preceding “Lonely and Blue” is that they need to be followed up. Unfortunately, “Crying” is just not in the same class. Same team, same players, but they’ve lost a certain je ne sais quoi, with an inclination towards the middle-of-the-road being especially apparent in the up-tempo “variety pop” which is prevalent on side 2. Still, that’s not to say this is a bad album, far from it. At least half of the set has strong material, and it has “Running Scared” – a grandiose finale which is worth the admission price on its’ own.
