Blue Bayou - Roy Orbison - Guitar Instrumental by Dave Monk

"Blue Bayou" is the title of a classic hit song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson and sung by Orbison. It later became Linda Ronstadt's signature song.
A plaintive ballad, "Blue Bayou" was originally recorded at the end of 1961, but released by Monument as the double A-side track on a Monument Records single in the UK, yet was issued at the 'B'-side single in the US, peaking at #29; "Mean Woman Blues" was a US #5, released in August 1963, written by Claude Demetrius and originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957). In the UK both sides peaked at #3 as a double A-sided single on London Monument, HLU 9777. The song also appeared on Orbison's 1963 full-length album In Dreams.
A Bayou is a sluggish, marshy stream connected with a river, lake, or gulf. Bayous are common in the southern United States.
Here is my version using another great backing track from Luca (phpdev67). I hope you like it. Dave

I just ran into this and boy was I ever shocked . His guitar playing is as good as it gets. truly amazing. I stayed up all night just to hear him play all those amazing songs and an amazing guitarist. Thanks Dave,I loved it. I had several guitars and even took lessons, I was terrible and quit. I did play one time in the Flying Dutchman but after one note I panicked I then went into Marine Corps. I knew my music and how to play it but It I just paniced..

Hello Dave...I met Roy Orbison back in the 80’s After his show when he played in a medium-sized bar in Racine, Wisconsin. He didn’t talk much, but when you sing like Roy did, who needs talking? Anyway, good job playing one of Roy’s songs!
