The amazing aspect of this all-star tribute album isn't its stars--Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, and others show up for homage to their hero. It's the graceful way they fade into the background, deservedly giving Orbison's impossibly high pitch a full spotlight on his classics "Only the Lonely," "In Dreams," "Ooby Dooby," and "Crying." Costello's new "The Comedians," with its image of a ferris wheel-stranded lover, is perfect for Orbison, incidentally. Beyond his greatness, it's fun to play Name the Guitar Solo and Backup Singer on the restrained finale, "Oh Pretty Woman." --Steve Knopper
