23. ROY ORBISON

Recent news that the Roy Orbison estate has booked a tour starring a hologram of the late singer is a fitting epilogue to a career that always verged on the otherworldly. Orbison’s preternatural vocals covered three or four octaves and conjured the eerie isolation of his native West Texas, long rumored to be a favorite UFO destination. In terms of intensity, the word “operatic” is not quite enough; “extraterrestrial” might be more appropriate. On the human side of the ledger, there’s that growl in the middle of “Oh, Pretty Woman” and the penetrating sadness of “In Dreams,” “Crying” and so many others. Now that voice is back on this hologram tour, which arrives at Smart Financial Center Oct. 26. Even death, it seems, couldn’t silence it. Most Texas musical moment: “Fastest Guitar Alive,” title song to the cult film that anticipated Robert Rodriguez’s “El Mariachi” by 25 years.
