...Different Drum is one of my favorite Ronstadt songs. It was her first hit and as a matter of fact recorded by her when she was part of the Stone Poneys, a folk group. A little later they became Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys and before long she left to go on her own. I don't think I've ever heard it done by anyone else. Why do you mention it?...

It was written by Michael Nesmith of Monkees' fame/infamy. It wasn't all Boyce and Hart and TV back in the day.

Roy Orbison was amazing. Not only was his voice spectacular, but his arrangements were very unorthodox and inovative. Listen to "In Dreams" a few times. There was nothing like it then, and nothing like it for years later.

I purchased and downloaded the kd Lang-Roy Orbison duet version of "Crying" from iTunes. As Ed says, it is excellent. If you listen closely, it is hard to tell when Roy is singing and kd is singing. They both have tenor voices in the recording.
