“Åsa’s Waltz” is the second song on Åsa Orbison’s debut album “Blue Bayou” and first original lyrics. Set over the beautiful chords and melody of “Waltz for Debbie” by the musical genius Bill Evans, the song is of great meaning to her because it was written from the heart and based on a true story.

Accompanied by Mr Harmonica, Charlie McCoy who played on the original “Blue Bayou” and part-time Traveling Wilbury, Jim Horn on saxophone and a stellar jazz quartet lead by Roy Orbison Jr on guitar. Featuring special guest and family friend, Ana Cristina Cash on background vocals.

Recorded at Roy Orbison Jr’s “Pretty Woman Studio”, Nashville A Team member Wayne Moss’ “Cinderella Studio” and Jack Clement’s “The Cowboy Arms Hotel And Recording Spa”.

Engineered by Luke Chalk and mixed by Cameron Davis (husband of Emily Orbison, Roy’s granddaughter).

Mastered by Richard Dodd who worked on Roy Orbison’s “You Got It” and The Traveling Wilburys.
