Roy Orbison - King of Hearts

The posthumously released King of Hearts collects a handful of Orbison's final vocal tracks along with a few demos and non-LP singles, including the Jeff Lynne-produced "Heartbreak Radio." The highlight, however, is an amazing duet of "Crying" recorded with k.d. lang. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
