From his scarce 1970 MGM album "Hank Williams the Roy Orbison Way".Most of the LP is slow songs. Here are my best uptempo picks. There will probably never be a chance to hear the album again.
1) Hey Good Looking
2) Jambalaya
3) Kaw-liga - the famous early 1950s hit about a wooden Indian

Never expected that Orbison would have covered Williams!!!! This is amazing!!!
-
wow these are the worst songs on the LP
-
Roy's voice was incredible, as usual. However, the producer and/or arranger really blew it on these three cuts. A 1970s-era quasi-funk arrangement doesn't quite work with Hank's stuff. Jambalaya's chart was a rip-off of Elvis's "Such a Night" tune cut in 1960. It worked for that song...but not this one!

@Zeratul723 But isn't that what he wanted, hence the album title ? I like "Kawliga" but here the sound quality is very average. I have a far better audio quality. I am going to upload this myself in the next week.

As much as I like Orbison, this is not a good ode to Hank. Deviates WAY to much from Hank's style.

i'm a huge Roy fan. and i've never heard this before tonight. Incredible combo of Hanks music and Roy's awesome talent.

I hadn't heard this before, either! Thanks for sharing, workin'!
I knew he had released this album, but I guess I was wrapped up in 'other' music at the time.....
