I was lucky enough to go to one of his many big sellout concerts where he sang songs from Roy and some of his own original songs, stunning voice even better live, he had standing ovations and the loudest cheering i've ever heard. Thankyou Damien for your voice of an angel
Damien wowing audiences in sold out theatres in Australia with his brilliant singing, humor and all songs presented with the greatest respect for Roy and his songwriting. Massive thanks to Barbara Orbison. Standing ovations and deafening cheers.
Sounds like another great tribute cd..I don't care if Mrs. Orbison or Sony thinks this is the only Official endorsed CD...Roy's son Wesley's opinion counts as much Official to me, in fact even more then their opinion so I'll be buying John Stephan's album which is endorsed and fully supported by Wesley Orbison, Roy's son from his marriage to Claudette, his one and ONLY Pretty Woman. And if I can afford it, I might buy this one too. Thanks for respecting Roy and paying Tribute!
Sorry, but who the fuck does Damien think he is. Just to go off and re-record a legends list of hits to earn himself some funds because his career never took off. The only people who should does this, are singers who knew Roy and have successfully made it on their own. Like Chris Isaak and Bruce Springsteen etc etc. When Buck Owens passed away, Dwight Yoakam re-recorded some of his hits, and so he should. They had a history. Imagine if it was some nobody from American Idol. Disrespectful Damien!
Wow. What has happened to the originals? I haven't checked in with Damien for over a year (maybe more) .What's the story with a Orbison cover album ;(
@dededom . I noticed that there seems to be a pattern of a covers album followed by an original:
Winner's Journey (astounding)> Where We Land (gorgeous) > Catch the Wind (atmospheric)> Remember June (so brilliant!!) > Roy (fun & stunning)... so I've got a feeling that another fantabulous original will be next dededom!
Every time Damien sings "Crying" he brings the house down. An entire album of Orbison's music sung in his gloriously angelic voice is totally mouthwatering! Can't WAIT!
I'm sure ALL the Tribute albums will be fantastic and will appeal to anyone who loves Roy Orbison. It does seem a shame that there are so many Tribute albums coming out at the same time though! As for Damien's record label!!! Hmmmmmmm!! .....Damien will do an outstanding job with his Tribute Album ROY. that I am sure of and looking forward to hearing very soon.
Thank you, Damien, for guiding around us in this studio where – I guess – an average person can not even set foot in. Being with you a place where the greatest legends started - even just virtually – that is really exciting and inspiring.
It seems to me, that you are “at home” in this place – and this probably is not accidental – because you were already there before you were born. Now you are just setting up your legendary music carrier One more time. :)
@Idolfanaustralia ...thank you. but could you send me an website or something, please? I googled down "orbisonyougotit" but could not find any web to order it from. I would be really greatful if you would send me a message or reply here... maybe other people are not so skilled ... just like me... than you are. Thank you for your help.
I have just pre orderd my copy of the John Stephan CD. I will be buying Damien's as well!
When I Pre Ordered my CD (Its is a Double CD by the way) the lady who I spoke to said that John Stephan's album is officially endorsed by Roy Orbison's Son and it will also have a live tour supporting it with Wesley Orbison on the show. Apparently Wesley Orbison is also speaking throughout the CD talking about his fathers life.How cool is that!!!! Seems pretty official to me!LOL His tracks online are Great!
The new LP, set for release next month, features a selection of covers of Roy Orbison classics, and according to his label Sony Music, Damien's album is the only official new recording of Roy material that will be released as part of the 75th anniversary celebrations of Roy Orbison. Roy's wife Barbara Orbison given Damien her full blessing and support coming on board for the project, signing on as executive producer 'Roy' is available from Friday April 15.
This is an amazing singer how can we get him into other countries . he is the only one doing a tribute, other was in 2010 cannot wait for the 15th April, and long live the big O
Damien fantastic songs choice and I know you will stamp yourself onto this music and you will sound like an angel, love it and I am lining up to buy it xx
Loving the smooth mellow sounds Damien and I know what you can do with some of Roy's other songs. This will be an amazing official tribute album. hmmmmmm that cover is a heart stopper....so smoulderingly smexy♥ can't wait
