Roy Orbison in a western? That's right! You guessed it! 1960's singing sensation Roy Orbison makes his one and only big screen film debut in “The Fastest Guitar Alive”, one of the most unique westerns ever to hit the silver screen. For this fast shooting western, Roy removes his trademark back shades, puts on his western attire and takes on the old west with a saddle and a shooting guitar. Roy plays Johnny Banner, a confederate spy who steals a shipment of gold in San Francisco and attempts to deliver it to a Confederate general in El Paso. Along the way Roy's secret weapon (the bullet-shooting guitar) is used to good effect against anybody that tries to stand in his way. “The Fastest Guitar Alive” features eight original Roy Orbison songs including, "Pistolero", "Good Time Party", "River", "Whirlwind", "Medicine Man", "Rollin' On", “Snuggle Huggle" and of course the catchy title track. “The Fastest Guitar Alive” is a western like no other, with singer Roy Orbison, as you have never seen him before. For campy western entertainment look no further, this one delivers the goods.
