According to musician and author Albin Zak, the combination of the studio — engineered by Bill Porter, who experimented with close miking the doo-wop backup singers — production by Foster, and accompanying musicians, gave Orbison's music a " polished, professional sound ... finally allow ( ing ) Orbison's stylistic inclinations free rein ".
In addition to the Nashville Sound's core components, Orbison requested strings in the studio.
With this combination, Orbison recorded three new songs, the most notable of which was " Uptown ", penned by himself and Melson.
Impressed with the results, Melson later recalled, " We stood in the studio, listening to the playbacks and thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world ".
The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll states that the music Orbison made in Nashville " brought a new splendor to rock ", and compared the melodramatic effects of the orchestral accompaniment to the music production of Phil Spector.
