The ghostly croon of Roy Orbison occupies a world somewhere between dreams and waking, where heartache walks hand in hand with happiness. This is the world Orbison inhabits in songs like "Dream Baby." The deceptively upbeat, Everly Brothers-style rocker wears an outward mask of confidence, but very close to the surface lies the desire-driven psychological turbulence that is Orbison's stock in trade. Similar turf is explored throughout this mighty compilation, on such indelible tracks as "In Dreams" and "Only the Lonely." Orbison's more straightforward rockabilly origins are represented by "Candy Man" (actually co-written by folk troubadour Fred Neil), "Ooby Dooby," and "Mean Woman Blues." FOR THE LONELY closes effectively with the classic "Oh, Pretty Woman," where Orbison turns his heartbreak around for once, aided considerably by a tough-as-nails guitar-and-drum riff.
