Ok silly thread time...

Having seen the name Joy Orbison around, I thought wouldn't that be a great name for a covers album - Joy Division songs but performed by, or in the style of, Roy Orbison.

So first up...

Hank Sidebottom. Old Hank Williams country songs perfomed by a man with a Manc accent sporting a papier mache head...
