Everybody said yes immediately, without even questioning it. Roy was thrilled to bits, and I then got to be pals with him. He’d moved to Malibu, just a few miles up the road from where I lived, and called me one day: 'Hi Jeff, it’s Roy. I’m ready to work!'" The whole experience was some of the best days of my life, really, and I think it probably was for us all ... The thing I guess would be hardest for people to understand is what good friends we were. It really had very little to do with combining a bunch of famous people. It was a bunch of friends that just happened to be really good at making music. [92] Dylan has had all the rough edges polished off and only Tweeter And The Monkey Man has a hint at his lyrical edge. Tom Petty is the clear winner in terms of sounds that he would go on to replicate in subsequent albums to good effect I never understood the appeal of Roy Orbison so his inclusion in the group was baffling to me and remains so today. (I read that Tom Petty was a huge fan). Those good times might have ended up being too good for Orbison, who passed away only a few months after the album was released. While the rest of the band were heartbroken, Harrison had mentioned feeling at peace with Orbison’s passing, knowing that his spiritual body will still live on and that he died on the top of his game.

Nearly twenty years after the creation of the band, and over a decade since the music was last available to fans, the music of The Traveling Wilburys is reissued in this collection. The previously released albums Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 and Traveling Wilburys Volume 3 feature inarguably some of music’s greatest singer-songwriters – George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan – as the iconic band The Traveling Wilburys.

Handle With Care" and End of the Line are the two masterworks here, although Roy's showcase, Not Alone Anymore– more grand and moving than anything on the Lynne-produced Mystery Girl– comes close in the stature, but its stylised melodrama is a ringer here: it, along with Dylan's offhand heartbreak tune Congratulations, is the only slow thing here, and the rest of the album just overspills with good vibes." ( AllMusic) After the passing of Roy Orbison, the four remaining members of the Traveling Wilburys, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan, shifted their band dynamics and adopted new Wilbury pseudonyms: Spike Wilbury, Clayton Wilbury, Muddy Wilbury, and Boo Wilbury, respectively.

In the mid 90s I changed to CDs and gave all the records away. This was one of the albums I did not buy new as a CD because I wasn't very impressed of it. So this was the first listening for almost 30 years. In March 1990, Harrison, Lynne, Petty and Dylan reunited to work on a second Wilburys album, which they intentionally misnumbered Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3. [70] It was preceded by a non-album single, a cover of " Nobody's Child", [57] which the band recorded for Olivia Harrison's Romanian Angel Appeal charity project. [70] [71] The duration of the main album sessions was again dictated by Dylan's touring schedule and limited availability. Having asked Dylan to record a lead vocal for all the songs before his departure, Harrison was then loath to replace many of the parts, resulting in a greater prominence for Dylan as a lead singer. [70] Although he ceded his own role as a lead vocalist to Dylan and to Petty, [72] Harrison took over more of the production and contributed more prominently as a lead guitarist than before. [73] Petty described the album as "a little more rough and ready, a bit more raucous" than Vol. 1, [74] while Dylan said the new songs were more developed as compositions relative to the "scraped up from jam tapes" approach to the band's debut. [70] Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1989 and helped revitalise the careers of Dylan and Petty. It has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. a b Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (pdfed.). Mt.

It was a strange and sad experience shooting the video,” the drummer describes. “It was surreal, actually, because you’re there for hours and hours doing multiple takes, and there was that chair with the guitar on it the whole time by itself.”
