The Traveling Wilburys are not only one of my favorite groups because they made a good song, but also because the group was composed of some of my favorite artists favorites. I started listening to the Wilburys when I was about 15 when my nanna got me a harmonica because I love the sound it makes and I was into Bob Dylan. The harmonica is an instrument that I can actually play and I still have the harmonica my nanna gave me until today and still play it occasionally.
The Wilburys were made by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and George Harrison and with the collaboration of my eyes is one of the best, has and never will be. All members of the Wilburys have excelled in their own solo careers, I'll get into in future posts.
During the time the Wilburys were together (which was only a short time) has only 2 studio albums that were Traveling Wilburys Vol.1 and Vol.3. Vol.2 and Vol.4 were also released, but were compilation albums. Vol.2 contained demo and extended versions of songs songs Vol.1 and outtakes of Vol.4 was Vol.3. There was also a new compilation album released in 2007 entitled The Traveling Wilburys Collection.
The Wilburys formed kinda by accident when Roy, George and Jeff met in the studio of Bob Dylan to help record a B-Side for the release of the band George Harrison This Is Love. The reason Tom Petty was involved at all was because George had left his guitar at the home of Tom
The Wilbury "family" of Lucky Wilbury (Bob Dylan) Nelson Wilbury (George Harrison), Lefty Wilbury (Roy Orbison), Otis Wilbury (Jeff Lynne) and Charlie T. Jr. (Tom Petty). They enjoyed working together so much that they decided make an album together (Vol.1), which was in 1988 and was recorded in just 10 days, just before Bob Dylan was due to tour.
When Roy Orbison died in 1988, this prevented a clear Wilbury Vol.3 meeting when it was released and the Wilburys took new names in honor of Roy, which means that they can never be the original family again. The family of "new" names were: Boo Wilbury (Bob Dylan), Spike Wilbury (George Harrison), Clayton Wilbury (Jeff Lynne) and Muddy Wilbury (Tom Petty).
