Roy Orbison - Black & White Night is a Guitar Recorded Versions songbook for guitarists who want to explore the music from Roy Orbison's 1988 Cinemax special through detailed note-for-note guitar transcriptions.

The program includes signature songs such as Blue Bayou, Crying, In Dreams, It's Over, Oh, Pretty Woman, Only the Lonely, and Running Scared. A foreword by James Burton adds another connection to the musicianship surrounding the performance, which featured Elvis Presley's TCB Band and guests including Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, and Tom Waits.
