This week in July 1963, ROY ORBISON released his fourth studio album 'In Dreams' (July 1963).
Named after the hit 45rpm single "In Dreams," which would go to Number One on the Australian singles chart, peak on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #7, and chart in the UK for five months while Orbison toured sharing billing with the Beatles.
"How does one recover enough to hear an album in its entirety when the first cut is "In Dreams"?" wrote Thom Jurek for AllMusic.
"Roy Orbison's 1963 album of the same name, recorded for the Monument label, is devastating for a number of reasons, namely that his "Blue Bayou" and his readings of Johnny Mercer's "Dreams" and Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" are here, as is his gorgeous reading of Cindy Walker's "Shahdaroba."
Orbison's voice was never better than on this recording. The heights he reaches on the title cut, "Lonely Wine," the swaggering country and R&B of "Blue Avenue," and "My Prayer" are simply mind-blowing.
The emotion and deep atmospherics of the tunes here reflect Foster's sophistication, but also Orbison's willingness to develop himself as a singer and as a persona.
Orbison wrote or co-wrote four tracks this time out, but the song choices are impeccable.
IN DREAMS
Roy Orbison claimed in interviews that the lyrics for this song came to him in a dream; he wrote the music once he woke up.
Typical of many Orbison songs, it's a heartbreaker: asleep at night is the only time he can be with the one he loves, as when he wakes up, she's gone.
This song is featured in a key scene in the 1986 film Blue Velvet where Dean Stockwell's character lip-synchs to the song.
Orbison initially rejected director David Lynch's request to use this song, but later made a video for the track with scenes from the film.
The use of this song in Blue Velvet sparked a career resurgence for Orbison. Because of legal entanglements, he didn't have access to the master recordings of many of his hits, so after the movie drummed up interest in his work, he set about re-recording his songs for a compilation called In Dreams: The Greatest Hits.
When Orbison asked Lynch if he could use footage of the film in a video for the re-recorded "In Dreams," Lynch not only agreed, but offered to help with the song.
With T Bone Burnett producing, Lynch directed Orbison in his performance as he would an actor in a film, and it worked, allowing Orbison to be faithful to the original recording by doing it with no overdubs.
Shortly before he died, Roy Orbison recorded a follow-up to this song called "In The Real World" on his 1989 album Mystery Girl.
