Roy Orbison and Friends: Black & White Night Review
                                   When Springsteen wrote and created his Born To Run album he explained to critics that he wanted "to have an album with lyrics like Dylan, singing like Roy Orbison, and a sound like Phil Spector." If you're 25  or older and you can only give your children one snapshot of popular music,  circa '60- '90, buy them a copy of this tape. Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer  Warnes, k.d. lang, John David Souther, Jackson Brown and Steven Soules sing  backing vocals. Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and T-Bone  Burnett, among others,play instrumental second fiddles. And they all do it  for The Man. Roy Orbison. The architect of the symphonic, Ravel-like love  song. The singer of singers. Just weeks before he died he played a concert  in Boston and the local critic said, (I paraphrase) "he repeated that  last line, in his falsetto voice, over and over and over as if to say, 'I'm  still here and can do it...anytime.'" The videotape is revelatory.  Stephen Burton (gtr) shows, over and over again, why he is to studio  musicians and especially to guitar players, an icon non-pareil. He is Chet  Atkins, Django Reinhardt, Bucky Pizzarelli, all in one.  The tape does a  tidy review of Orbison's hits. More remarkable than the performance of  those hits is the reverential looks and obvious excitment of Springsteen,  Costello, lang, Raitt, Browne, etc. as they accompany him on his tour of  transistor radio hits. Forget the Wilbury's. This is Roy's night.  Deservedly. Roy knew how to constrain all that emotion behind his words  until he was ready to release it. In the last moments of the tape Roy sings  "Pretty Woman" and it opens up into a jam-for-all. Noteworthy is  how Springsteen acquits himself in a mano a' mano guitar trade with Burton.  First they trade twelve bar solos, then they raise the stakes and trade  four bar exchanges. Springsteen shows that all those hours spent in his  bedroom paid off, ("..well I got me a guitar and I learned how to make  it talk...") not topping Burton but filing a tasty, even nasty,  testament of  his own licks and sources. Perhaps most easily, and unjustly,  overlooked in a star studded vid like this is Elvis Costello who plays, no,  contributes in a huge way, turns as a harp (harmonica) player, guitar  player, singer and pianist. But instrumentally, Burton, Springsteen and  Alex Tutt (long-time Orbison drummer) truly set themselves apart.  And...It's a real hoot to see k.d. lang and Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer  Warnes doing "steps" and singing "sha la la la" and  "doo wah doo wah doo wah" and obviously loving it. It is a video  to love. And that doesn't even begin to address Orbison's lyrics: "A  candy colored clown they call the sandman; tiptoes to my room every night;  just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper: "go to sleep, everything is  alright." Dylan, Springsteen, Orbison, .....  Quick.  Name three more  lyricists of that stratum. Buy the tape. Re-learn what was good and true  (men "do" cry") about popular music in the sixties and the  seventies.
