ITEMDISCARDED  \n# RHAPSODY IN BLACK\n\nTHE LIFE AND MUSIC OF  \nROYORBISON特JOHN KRUTH  \nU.S.$27.99  \n# RHAPSODY IN BLACK\n\nRoy Orbison emerged as an artist alongside his SunRecords contemporaries in the early days of rock’n’roll.He did not possess the good looks of Elvis Presleyor the everyman toughness ofJohnny Cash,nor did heconduct wild-child stage antics like Jerry Lee Lewis.But he did possess a magnetic mystique that wouldcaptivate fans around the world and inspire countlessmusicians.  \nA quiet man,who k.d.lang would refer to as\"Buddha,\"Orbison was more interested in buildingmodel airplanes,watching films,and reading books inhis den than talking about himself or partying hard.Yet he was nothing shy of a superstar—determined tosucceed,driven by a relentless,innate love for musicthat started in his childhood,and blessed with whatElvis considered to be the best pipes in the business.Standing still onstage,hidden behind his perpetualRay-Bans,Orbison delivered his melodious songswith haunting emotional depth.His artful recordings,mysterious image,and angelic voice have left anindelible mark on popular music.  \nIn Rbapsody in Black,John Kruth tells the storyof Roy Orbison in prose as musical as the artist anddoes not shy away from or trivialize the personal pain,alienation,and tragic events that shaped Orbison’ssingular personality and music.Moreover,Kruthilluminates how Roy Orbison wasn't merely a singerbut a sonic alchemist,who,in the end,transformedunfathomable human misery into transcendent melodyand platinum records.Including interviews withpeople who worked closely with Orbison,photos thatspan his career,and a selected discography,Rbapsodyin Black is both celebratory and touching,delving intothe behind-the-music details of his collaborations,recording sessions,tours,and business affairs,as wellas his personal life—his roots,his marriages,and hischildren.It chronicles Orbison's life from his rockabillystart in Wink,Texas,through his 1960s heydy all theway through his days in the supergroup the TravelingWilburys,and evaluates his legacy in the years afierhis death.  \n8(13  \nRHAPSODY IN BLACK
