Rock Band 2 Goes Retro with Roy Orbison  by Craig D at 16:24

XBoxPlaystation
Harmonix and MTV Games have today revealed that a Roy Orbison track pack will become available tomorrow on Xbox 360 and in a little over a week on Playstation 3. All six tracks will be available either as a whole pack for $9.99 (800 MS Points) or individually for $1.99 (160 MS Points).

The "Roy Orbison Pack 01" will include "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Ooby Dooby," "In Dreams," Claudette," "Mean Woman Blues" and "You Got It." All six songs will be available for download as individual tracks as well. These six songs featured are hits from Orbison’s incredible legacy of albums including the recently released definitive box set Roy Orbison: The Soul of Rock And Roll (2008) which contains 107 recordings spanning Orbison’s entire career.

"When I was a kid, my world evolved around a black vinyl record," said Barbara Orbison. "How times have changed! Rock Band and Harmonix have given us a new way to experience music and now everyone can belong to a band. How much more fun could you have, than to play the opening riff of Oh Pretty Woman and try to sing like Roy Orbison?"

Wow, Roy Orbison is such an influence on today's music. I am so glad they did something like this to add such an establishing legend to the mix, even one who's best years were more than 20 years ago. Good for Roy Orbison to break his name back into pop culture.

We miss you, Roy!
