Roy Orbison & The Teen Kings 7″ Vinyl Single “Rockhouse” and “You’re My Baby”

September 18, 2015 by admin

This 7″ Vinyl single was made possible by Third Man Records and SUN Studios!

Featuring “You’re My Baby,” a song written by Johnny Cash and “Rockhouse,” a song written by Roy Orbison & Harold Jenkins (AKA Conway Twitty).

Most likely recorded in June of 1956, “Rockhouse” is a prime example of quintessential, undiluted rockabilly. While Roy and the Teen Kings’ stint with Sun would be brief, the sheer power unleashed on these tracks is palpable.
