Legendary Producer and artist Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra, who was only a few years removed from writing and performing 8 top 10 hits with ELO, was producing George Harrison’s 1987 comeback album Cloud Nine. The comeback would be big with 2 huge hits.. including I Got My Mind Set on You and When We Was Fab. The two of them decided to put together a supergroup. They both agreed to find one person they admired and then make a record. However, in the process, they ended up bringing in 3 legends for a total of 5. Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Harrison and Lynne. The Traveling Wilbury’s were born. They created one of the greatest records of the 80s, Handle Me With Care. up next we tell their story… How 4 of these legends were so mesmerized by their bandmate they all stopped everything they were doing whenever he would record his part and the tragedy that followed their debut album. The story is NEXT on Professor of Rock.

Over the Rock Era, there have been several ‘supergroups;’ superstar artists that teamed up with other superstars to put their collective talent together and create an All-World band. Cream, Blind Faith, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bad Company, ASIA, the Highwaymen, Temple of the Dog, and Them Crooked Vultures are the ones that leap to mind.
The supergroup that was arguably the most STACKED coterie EVER assembled…. was the Traveling Wilburys. It was an unbelievable convergence of rock royalty: Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. The most difficult prospect for getting all of that incredible talent on one cohesive course would be managing their egos.
Let’s face it… rock stars have gigantic egos It pretty much comes with the territory... so checking your amour propre at the studio door would be imperative in order to achieve some kind of camaraderie. What made the Traveling Wilburys come together for such a historic union, was because the 5 luminaries truly got along so well. Each artist genuinely cared for their fellow bandmates- even referring to them as brothers.
George Harrison was the ringleader that made it all happen. He was the connective tissue to all 4 of his bandmates, having met each of them prior to forming the Traveling Wilburys. The notion to create such a group started with a light-hearted conversation between Harrison & Lynne when the two were working together on George’s album Cloud Nine in 1987.
It was a couple of months into the recording sessions for Cloud Nine when Harrison presented the idea of the two of them forming a band together. Right off the bat, they had fun with the idea. It was decided that both of them could choose only one artist to invite to join the band- presumably any artist

@BrianMcKnight68 Год назад

I remember The Wilburys being interviewed (on MTV, I think) as the first record was hitting…. the interviewer acknowledged all the talent, and the fact that they were all, essentially, lead singers. He asked “So, who’s the lead singer of THIS band?”. Without hesitation, George, Tom, Jeff, and Bob all said “Roy!!”. As usual, Roy just smiled and said something along the lines of “Mercy, they’re just being nice. I’m lucky to be in this band.” Those guys were all legends, but they knew Roy was rock and roll ROYALTY. It was so nice to see him get this long-overdue validation while he was still alive.

This album always brings happy tears to my eyes. My dad was a huge huge Roy Orbison fan. He was a child of the depression, so he was never a follower of the other four artists. It made me happy when he discovered the Traveling Wilburys through his love of Roy Orbison’s music. He then allowed himself to open up to Misters Dylan, Harrison, Petty, and Lynne. My dad died 24 years ago. I always think of him whenever I hear the Wilburys.

@starlightatdusk4896 Год назад

Jeff Lynne is an absolute legend. I grew up on ELO. My folks played their LPs constantly. By far my favourite Wilbury. In my opinion, one of the most underrated songwriters and singers ever. He was just inducted to the Songwriters' HoF a month or two ago. An absolute scandal that he wasn't in there earlier. To this day I can listen to a TW song or one of the Tom Petty songs he produced, hear a particular chord or harmony, and say 'Jeff Lynne put that one in there'. My dad was a big Beatles fan too. Grew up listening to Tom Petty on radio and MTV as well. Mom loved Roy Orbison too. The only Wilbury I never really listened to was Dylan. A couple of years ago I got to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in concert. One of the absolute highlights of my life, musically. Dhani Harrison, George's son, opened. Near the end of Jeff Lynne's set, Dhani came back on stage and they did Handle With Care. I guess that's the closest we ever got to a Traveling Wilburys tour!

@MusicLover10538 Год назад

@chrismaverick9828 11 месяцев назад

Some artists have that ability. Listening to one of my favorite groups 'Poets of the Fall' and various analysis of them, I would say that for most people it has to do with the sincerity that the singer can put into the vocals. Petty ALWAYS sounded direct, honest, and true when singing to the listener. That really hits in ways that are severely lacking if the artist slacks or otherwise doesn't feel it.

@MetalMama-Mimi523 Год назад

@@ProfessorofRock Of course it goes w/o saying that 'Crying' has to be one of my favorite but if I'm going to be honest, the version I love most of that song is his duet with k.d. Lang off the Hiding Out soundtrack. Great movie too. Seems like so many that I love, other musicians love to as everyone of the ones I really like have been covered. Blue Bayou - Linda Rondstat version Pretty Woman - Van Halen Claudette - Dwight Yoakam which comes off of his Under the Covers album which is so amazingly good I Drove All Night - makes me so sad as it's one of his last recordings. Also, I think Cyndi Lauper did the best cover of his songs. Also, my Mom was a HUGE Elvis Presley fan (whose Mom wasn't 😄) and thanks to him covering so many of Roy's music, that's how I got introduced to Roy, who was a better singer than Elvis could never imagine being as big as Elvis, but again, like I stated in my original posts, Elvis looked better ergo he became the bigger star. I could go on and on naming songs I love by Roy but this is already super long so I'll just all with some I like just a bit better than others 😁 What are your favorites?

@shawnn7502 Год назад

Agreed, and I'm a huge Paul fan, but if Something isn't the Beatles best song, then it is at least in the top 3. Went to Paul McCartney concert a couple years ago. Great concert but the highlight of the night was Paul playing Something in memorial to George. Absolutely epic.

@Withcare11 Год назад

I disagree that George was overlooked. He was working with the most successful duo in history. They knew his value. Not as much as they valued each other, but certainly not oberlooked., at least not all the time. Interviews always showed they liked Georges music, and his material got a lot of studio time. I think if you were to see how many takes they did of songs overall in the studio, lots were of George Songs. I can't remember the exact number, but didn't they do like 100 takes just of not guilty, that's as many as the first album!. The same is true of All Things Must Pass. They spent hours, days trying to get it to work. Yet it has been claimed they didn't care.

@talrasha1985 Месяц назад

@@Withcare11 No, they didn't spend much time on it, even John, Ringo and George Martin themselves admitted that. And this can be seen on the nagra records. John was very disparaging about George when he asked for help with a line in Taxman, how he didn't want to help him but couldn't help it because he liked George and Paul would have refused him anyway. Ringo said they had to rehearse ten of Paul's songs first and then maybe they could spend time on George's songs (And George said the same). And Martin said a lot of things, and "he had only himself to collaborate withб If he needed help from the other two, they gave it, but often rather grudgingly" was always in his speeches. And so on. The nagra shows how reluctantly they rehearsed all things must pass and how much George was into silver hammer, although we know he disliked the song as much as John did. Even in the short rehearsals of i me mine, George had to explain why it couldn't be sung as "my my" and stuff. There was a lot of shit going on from all sides, but to say that George got a lot of studio time and that his music was liked by the others, when you have John, who said he wouldn't listen to that kind of music, and Paul, who said that before something George's songs weren't good, is false.

Discovering Roy Orbison in the late 80's thanks to this group was a true revelation. I never knew he recorded so many great songs. I could list 50 of them easily, but here are a few gems I think are not as well known: my favorite Big O song, Sleepy Hollow... right behind that, House Without Windows... both are gorgeous and haunting... then comes the flood, Raindrops, Come Back To Me, Let's Make A Memory, I'll Say It's My Fault, Pretty Paper, Paper Boy, Summersong... and from his last album, In The Real World, A Love So Beautiful, California Blue, She's A Mystery To Me, Windsurfer...and his last single, Drove All Night. I didn't even name the obvious hits, there are at least 20 of those. And I've got at least two dozen favorites from each of the other members, but that'll be a different comment.

I love how the album shines the spotlight on each of them, with their own lead vocals. The benefit of working with older successful artists is that (usually) they are confident enough in themselves, and less out of the media bubble that tries to inflate their ego, so they can get along with each other better. It also helps that they all had their own lives outside of the group, and not touring surely helped with that too.

Traveling Wilburys is how I learned to love ELO. I knew OF ELO as a kid but didn’t know much about them. When a friend described ELO as “Okay so you know that 5th guy in Traveling Wilburys, the one with the sunglasses, no the other one with the sunglasses and the beard…”. Once I knew who Jeff Lynne was I devoured ELO. But my favorite part of the Wilburys has got to be hearing Tom Petty and Bob Dylan sing together. The only two rock stars who sing with that nasally sound and then to hear them harmonize was pure magic.

The story of Lynne producing George's album, then Petty liking it, then seeing Lynne driving down the road and producing for Petty, and without THOSE COINCIDENCES we'd have no Free Fallin', no Wilburys, no Handle With Care, none of that. God has filled music with amazing coincidences, only He could do it. And the truth is maybe He decided the GREATEST MUSIC IS DONE, because I don't hear ANYTHING as good as THAT.

He had Dani Harrison as his opener and then had him perform his dad's part in the one or two Wilbury's song. Jeff Lynne was so enamored with the Beatles and that's probably why he was teamed up with George Harrison. Well done for all of them!
