The Orbison Way is the 8th album recorded by Roy Orbison, and his second for MGM Records, released in January 1966. Two singles were taken from the album — "Crawling Back" and "Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart", both of which were chart hits in England, the US and Australia. The album charted at #11 in the UK and #128 in the US.
Cash Box described "Crawling Back" as a "tender, slow-moving, laconic ode about a love-sick fella who’ll go to any lengths to get his ex-gal back again."[3]Cash Box described "Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart" as a "medium-paced, full orked and chorus backed soulful tearjerker about a lonely guy who’s been singing the blues since his gal jilted him."[4]
