Honey Ryder - Love In Time

Following their recent Top 40 successes with Numb and Fly Away, and their Radio 2 playlisted track Choices, Honey Ryder have announced details of their new single Love In Time, a cover of a relatively unknown Roy Orbison track.

The London-based duo, Martyn Shone and Lindsay O'Mahony, had a chance meeting with Roy's widow, Barbara Orbison, following one of their shows at South By South West in Austin, Texas in March. Barbara was so taken with the band that she asked them to take part in a special event at the Gibson Guitar Club in London to mark Roy's birthday, and suggested 3 tracks for them to consider performing.

One of the tracks was Love In Time, which was released by Roy's label on a compilation of B Sides and demo recordings just after he passed away. The band teamed up with producers Goldust (Bryan Adams, Natasha Bedingfield) to record their version of the song, and it has since been added as a bonus track on the band's debut album Rising Up, available now.

Barbara is so impressed with the band's version of the song that she has agreed to fly over to the UK to help promote it with Lindsay and Martyn. "I was brought up listening to Roy, my parents were constantly playing his records, so I was extremely honoured and flattered to be approached by Barbara to take part in such a great event, and to be introduced to more of Roy's beautiful songs", says Lindsay.
