Travel Song of the Day: ‘I Drove All Night’ by Roy Orbison

This is not Roy Orbison’s very best song, but it sure is nice to encounter it here. The vulnerability behind Orbison’s voice makes it one of the most honest instruments in rock history.

Thank you for your mention of Roy Orbison’s I Drove All Night. Would love to send you a Roy box set as a thank you. email me your address and I will have one sent out. Tanja (BTW: The CD you’re showing is one I wrote the liner notes for)

among Roy fans, it’s a favorite, and definately presents his voice!

Anything sung by Roy Orbison is worth st lesst s listen and thank you for this one…...............Kevin

I thank you so much for remembering Roy Orbison, his music and great songs. Sure, it is not the best song of Roy -beside, it is a cover- but all about Roy is so touchable and interesting… Roy was a good man, so gentle and human, unfortunately with very sad destiny! May dear God bless his beautiful soul!

I heard this song for a first time during the concert of Celine Dion. It was great and exciting, covered with picturies from previous concerts from whole the world.

This is one of my fav Roy’s song , as always , showing his wonderful voice

Thankyou so much.
This song reminds me of my long distance relationship with my husband when he was in the service.
My sister also had a long distance relationship with her husband, having a home in Montana and Washington.
This song feels good.

Not Roy’s best song????
WHAT!!?????
It’s one of my favorites! Great feel-good up-tempo song featuring the best voice EVER, in my opinion. And I have a vast collection of Roy Orbison songs in my collection, to choose from. This one’s in my top five favorites from songs spanning from 1956 onwards, and not exclusively his greatest hits.
Thank you for featuring this song. May I suggest you have a listen to another traveling song by Roy - called “Ride Away”? ;-)
