Rock Band gets a visit from the Big O, with a six-song track pack

Yesterday, I heard that more people wanted "older music" from their video games. Apparently, Harmonix heard you too, today releasing the Roy Orbison Pack 01 for Rock Band.
Featuring six tracks from the Big O, you'll be able to croon along with You Got It, Mean Woman Blues, Claudette, Ooby Dooby, In Dreams and of course, Oh, Pretty Woman.
(Do you know how tricky it is to find Orbison-friendly screenshots?)
A quick perusal of the game's official website reveals that you won't need to share in too many of Mr. Orbison's great talents, four of the six tracks have been given the lowest difficulty rating, a 1 out of 5. Mean Woman Blues gets a 2, while Ooby Dooby is a little more complex, at 4.
So - Ooby Dooby was first released in 1956. Is this old enough for you, or do developers have to dig a bit more through history to find music that you'll want to play along with?

Rock Band: Roy OrbisonI like the fact this is labelled "Pack 01" - Mr. Orbison has a back-catalogue stretching some 50+ years, so I'm hoping we'll see more in the future!
