Where it came from
Laminar Flow was released in 1979 as Roy Orbison's only studio album for Asylum Records. Recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the project was an attempt to modernize Orbison’s sound and broaden his appeal during a period of transition in the music industry. The title reflects a technical term for fluid dynamics, a thematic departure from his earlier work that aimed to signify a smoother, more contemporary stylistic approach.
The production process involved collaboration with producer Jerry Masters and featured an array of session musicians intended to capture a polished, late-seventies pop-rock aesthetic. While the album is respected by enthusiasts for its unique place in Orbison's discography and his characteristically emotive vocal delivery, it did not achieve significant commercial success upon its release. Over time, it has become a sought-after entry for collectors interested in the experimental phases of legendary artists.
