Hank Williams The Roy Orbison Way is an album recorded by Roy Orbison for MGM Records, released in August 1970. It is a tribute album to the songs of Country Music Hall of Fame honky tonk singer Hank Williams, whom Orbison listed among his influences. The album was recorded in just three sessions in early 1969, and none of its tracks were released as singles.
The album took a week to make in late February and early March 1969. Orbison previously recorded a cover album of Don Gibson songs three years earlier. The songs came from Orbison's then manager Wesley Rose. The album was released without a single.
All tracks composed by Hank Williams, except where indicated. This album was only released in the US.
Produced by Don Gant Arranged by Jim Hall
