Roy Orbison Version
A plaintive ballad, "Blue Bayou" was originally released by Orbison as the A-side track on a Monument Records 45rpm single released in August 1963 backed by the rock and roll track "Mean Woman Blues" (written by Claude Demetrius and originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957). The song also appeared on Orbison's 1963 full-length album In Dreams.
"Blue Bayou" reappeared on his 1989 posthumous album A Black & White Night Live, from the 1988 television special on Cinemax.
