Unchained Melodies: Roy Orbison with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra released November 16 2018. Double vinyl LP This brand-new album infuses Orbison's best original vocal performances with the emotion and world-class musicianship of the Royal Philharmonic, London's most notable orchestra. With the production team of Don Reedman and Nick Patrick again at the helm, Unchained Melodies is a fitting follow up to last year's sensational A Love So Beautiful: Roy Orbison & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Reedman and Patrick have an unparalleled track record in this field, having also produced If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and The Wonder of You: Elvis Presley with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Roy's sons Wesley (guitar), Roy Jr. (guitar) and Alex (drums), contribute additional instrumentation on select tracks and are occasionally joined by the "Orbison women" on back up vocals - Wesley's daughter Emily Orbison (whose husband, Cameron Davidson, engineered the session), Wesley's fiancé Jennifer Hicks, Roy Jr.'s wife Åsa Orbison, and Alex's wife Erika Wolf Orbison all participate, truly making Unchained Melodies a cross-generational family affair.
