About this album

In Dreams: The Greatest Hits presents Roy Orbison as one of rock’s most distinctive voices, drawing together the aching ballads and early rock and roll sides that made his name. Issued in 1987, the compilation reflects the enduring appeal of songs such as Only the Lonely, Crying, In Dreams and Running Scared, where Orbison’s dramatic phrasing and operatic range turned heartbreak into spectacle. Across pop, rock and ballad material, it highlights the qualities that separated him from his contemporaries: emotional intensity, memorable melody and a sound that became a template for later power balladry. It is a concise entry point to a remarkable catalogue.
