Roy: A Tribute to Roy Orbison is the fourth studio album by Damien Leith. It was released by Sony BMG in Australia on 15 April 2011 to coincide with Roy Orbison's 75th birthday.

Background

In 2006, while in the top 10 of Australian Idol, Damien performed Orbison's 1961 hit "Crying" to a standing ovation. Barbara Orbison, Roy's widow managed to see this performance and contacted the show's producers for a copy of the performance. She asked to hear more, eventually leading to an entire tribute album for what would have been Roy's 75th birthday.

One or more Roy Orbison covers were planned for 2008's Catch the Wind: Songs of a Generation, but instead led to recording this album. Three music videos were released, one for "Only the Lonely", one for "Oh, Pretty Woman", and one for "Blue Bayou" (featuring The McClymonts).
