Roy Orbison at the Rock House

Roy Orbison at the Rock House is the first album by Roy Orbison on the Sun Records label, released in 1961 at a time when Orbison had already moved to the Monument label. and was available in mono. Sun Records owner Sam Phillips had a collection of songs Orbison had recorded at Sun during 1956–1958. Phillips capitalized on the national recognition Orbison had achieved at Monument through three major hit singles in 1960 and 1961 that had gone to the top of the Billboard charts.

Reception
Bruce Eder of AllMusic said that the album "is downright bracing and exciting, though it's easy to see why it never succeeded at the time -- numbers like "You're Gonna Cry" and "Problem Child" were a little too intense and ambitious as rock & roll, with too many changes and involved lyrics, to hold that audience en masse." Billboard enjoyed Orbison's "exciting rocking dramatic style". In its review of the album from October 1964 as The Exciting Sounds Of Roy Orbison, Cashbox stated that the album "contains such hits as "Rock House" and "Devil Doll." Record World as Roy Orbison, The Original Sound raved, Orbison fans will find this an indispensible part of their collection." ==Track listing==
