A Love So Beautiful: Roy Orbison
with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be released by Sony Music’s Legacy
Recordings in partnership with Roy’s Boys LLC, the Nashville-based company
founded by the late icon’s sons to administer their father’s catalog and safeguard his
legacy. Available on CD, vinyl LP and digital formats, this brand new album infuses
Orbison’s best original vocal performances, consisting of hits and fan favorites such
as “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “Crying” and “Only the Lonely,” with the emotion and world
class musicianship of the Royal Philharmonic, London’s most notable orchestra. In
addition, Roy’s sons Wesley (guitar), Roy Jr. (guitar) and Alex (drums) provided
instrumental backing on selected tracks, along with ten-month- old grandson Roy III
(guitar, tambourine).

Alex Orbison, President of Roy’s Boys and the youngest of Roy Orbison’s sons,
stated, “If ever there were a singer whose body of work benefits from a
collaboration with the Royal Philharmonic it would be Roy Orbison. During the
course of his career and after his passing it was constantly noted that his
transcendent vocal ability made him something of an anomaly in the world of pop
and rock and that, in another life, he would have taken the classical music/opera
world by storm. Soon, we’ll all be able to experience that ‘life’ with the release of
this project. It’s more than an album release, it’s the fulfillment of a prophecy in a
very tangible way.”
