Get an Exclusive Free Download of Roy Orbison’s ‘You Are My Love’ From Parade Magazine!

“Roy Orbison‘s classic album Mystery Girl was first released in 1989, after the rock legend died at 52 from a heart attack. Now, 25 years later, Mystery Girl returns May 19 both as an expanded CD and as a CD-DVD set that includes a documentary on the album’s creation.

Both the CD and the DVD feature a new song, “The Way Is Love,” which Orbison’s sons helped produce from an old vocal track.

“We’ve been around the office calling this the kitchen sink,” Orbison’s son Alex said. “It really is a culmination of having all of the bonus audio, the nine tracks that we dug up and everything ranging from ‘The Way Is Love,’ which was a work tape demo recorded on a boom box and keyboard that we’ve gone and stripped off the backing.’

To celebrate the release of Myster Girl – Deluxe, watch an exclusive clip of “You Got It” and get an exclusive free download of “You Are My Love.” This exclusive clip from of Orbison performing his hit “You Got It” at the Diamond Awards. “

EXCLUSIVE: LISTEN TO A LOST ROY ORBISON TRACK

“Roy was just the sweetest guy, and he had the most amazing laugh,” Tom Petty told me at the launch party for his Mojo album in 2010 when I asked what his friend and fellow Traveling Wilbury Roy Orbison was like. “He had the most amazing voice, even if he was just working something out, it was always just… there.”

“It was like watching Evel Knievel jumping his motorcycle when he sang,” Roy’s son Alex Orbison remembers of his father’s performances. “It was like tightrope walking. It was such an incredible thing to witness. I remember thinking, ‘Here it comes,’ and holding my breath every time.”
