Former '60's Blue Things leader issued solo album, 1968 'Grey Life'
Heavily orchestrated melancholic folk rock with a nod to Everlies and Orbison
Nick Drake, Scott Walker, Syd Barrett, and Bill Fay all travelled this territory a few years later and now are lionized. Stoecklein is forgotten. I believe this is on par with their work, a few years earlier.
At the very least this is a great Roy Orbison album not made.
