Roy Orbison's sons have produced one of their father's unreleased songs after finding the track in an old home tape machine.
The siblings said they used technology specifically developed for the task to put together their father's "The Way Is Love." Music legend John Carter Cash teamed up with the Orbisons to produce the the track.
The single will be unveiled in the upcoming 25th anniversary edition of Orbison's last album, Mystery Girl to be released May 20th in a CD and DVD Deluxe edition package.
The record will include the album's original 10 songs along with nine unreleased tracks including "The Way Is Love." Orbison's sons (Roy Jr., Alex and Wesley) provided contemporary guitar, drums and vocals for the latter. The DVD will also include eight of Orbison's music videos, four of which have never been released.
