Epiphone Announces the Limited Edition “Roy Orbison” signature “Oh ...
(Vocus) April 22, 2009
The Epiphone Guitar Company of Nashville, Tennessee announces the release of the new limited edition “Oh, Pretty Woman” 12-string acoustic guitar. Produced in cooperation with the legendary singer/songwriter Roy Orbison’s estate, this signature guitar is based upon Roy’s own 1962 Epiphone “Bard” 12-string acoustic guitar. Orbison used his original Epiphone acoustic guitar to write and perform many of his most well-known songs including perhaps his biggest hit “Oh, Pretty Woman.”
“As a young brilliant guitar player growing up in West Texas, Roy would have never dreamt that he would one day have his own Epiphone signature guitar named after him. Roy wrote ‘Oh Pretty Woman’ on his Epiphone 12-string acoustic guitar which features one of the most instantly recognizable rock n’ roll guitar riffs and has remained iconic and fresh to this day. I hope the next generation of artists will feel inspired to write another great rock n’ roll song thanks to the Epiphone signature Roy Orbison 12 string acoustic guitar,” said Barbara Orbison, Roy’s widow.

Concert review: Craig Morrison's 15th annual Roots of Rock and Roll Concert at ...
There’s no real California sound, at least not in the sense that there is a Mersey beat or a New Orleans groove.
The vastness of the Golden State doesn’t really explain it. Even its key cities can’t be pinned down: is Los Angeles best represented by the jangling 12-string guitar of the Byrds, the spine-tingling harmonies of the Beach Boys or the dark musings of the Doors? Which defines San Francisco: the half-hour jams of the Grateful Dead, the two-minute roots-rock singles of Creedence Clearwater Revival (from El Cerrito, but close enough) or the timeless Latin rock of Santana?
Such was the sheer volume of quality material facing Craig Morrison as he dove into the impossible task of gathering a few hours worth of classics and presenting them as a unified whole in his 15th annual Roots of Rock and Roll Concert, titled California Dreamin’: Music From the Golden State.
I caught the second of Morrison’s two sold-out shows at Concordia’s Oscar Peterson Concert Hall, and one constant did manage to emerge from the concert: over almost three hours – not counting the intermission – the quality of the songs virtually never dipped below superb. They were as bright and warm as the state that produced them (which is perhaps why the more unsettling work of Love and Frank Zappa was not represented).
