Starts At Sixty!: When his boys died in a fire, Roy Orbison recorded a secret album
Rebecca Wilson
In 1968, two of Roy Orbison’s sons died in a tragic house fire. Just months after they died, Orbison recorded an album that addressed the trauma, and was thought to have been lost forever until it was discovered by his sons.
If you loved Roy Orbison 50 years ago, then you’ll be excited to hear that this month MGM are releasing a secret, “lost” album from 1969 that was never released.
Now restored by sound engineers, Orbison lovers can now experience the 12 new tracks digitally, on CD and on 180-gram vinyl. It is being released next month…
