Album Notes
The Traveling Wilburys: George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison.
Famously, the Traveling Wilburys came about nearly by accident: in 1987, George Harrison mentioned to his dinner companions Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison that his record company wanted a b-side for the new single from his then-current album, CLOUD NINE. The group's near-spontaneous collaboration, "Handle With Care," turned out so well that rather than waste it on a b-side, they turned the legendary late-1960s hoax, the Masked Marauders (a purported bootleg of the Beatles and Rolling Stones jamming with Bob Dylan, created by Rolling Stone writer Greil Marcus as a joke), into reality. Choosing the personas of a bunch of old-timey traveling musicians (the sons of a mythical itinerant country singer, Charlie Wilbury), the Traveling Wilburys deliberately kept things simple. A low-key album filled with catchy, often humorous songs with heavy country, blues, and early rock influences, THE TRAVELING WILBURYS VOLUME ONE is the sound of five rock legends having the time of their lives.
