in Music | February 26th, 2021 8 Comments
“It really had very little to do with combining a bunch of famous people,” says Tom Petty about the Traveling Wilburys. “It was a bunch of friends that just happened to be really good at making music.”
One of the most modest supergroups of the 20th century, one that fate and chance threw together for a very brief period, the Traveling Wilburys made music that sits outside the usual histories of 1980s music, featuring five men in different states of their careers. Tom Petty was about to have a comeback, George Harrison had just had one, Jeff Lynne was no longer having chart hits as ELO, but he was shaping the sound of the late 1980s as a producer, Roy Orbison was *about* to have a posthumous comeback, and Bob Dylan was…doing whatever Dylan does—every album he put out in the ‘80s had an equal number of detractors and comeback claimants. Put it this way: the Traveling Wilburys didn’t feel like a nostalgia act, and neither did it feel like a marketing idea. It was actually lightning in a bottle.
“It was George’s band,” Lynne says in the above mini documentary, but it wasn’t really formed as one. It just sort of *evolved*.
As he explains early in the doc, Harrison was having dinner with Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne and invited them along to a studio in Los Angeles the next day. He had the hankering to make a tune, and they wound up using Bob Dylan’s home studio—the normally reclusive Dylan actually picked up the phone on the first ring and gave the okay. And Harrison’s guitar was over at Tom Petty’s house, so he came along as well. The song they recorded that day was “Handle with Care,” which fell together like magic. (Dylan provided the title after looking over at a cardboard box).
Harrison sat on the song for a while, having no idea what to do with it. The only thing he could do, was to record nine more songs and call it an album. Which, once they had found time in everybody’s schedule, they did. The songs were recorded at the home studio of Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) and finalized back in London with Harrison and Lynne. The group gave themselves the assignment of one song written and recorded per day. That the record isn’t a mish-mash of jamming, leftover ideas, and covers, and instead has a legitimate amount of classic singles and career-highlight moments is a testament to the friendship between the five (and drummer Jim Keltner, who knew them all).
Friends indeed, but it doesn’t mean they weren’t also big fans of each other. What’s cool to watch in the doc is how in awe they all seem: George is amazed by Bob’s cryptic scrawled lyrics and his ability to nail a song on essentially the first take. Tom Petty is in awe of George’s democratic ways with choosing who gets to sing one of the songs, regardless of who wrote it—really, how do you follow Roy Orbison’s version of a song? But Tom Petty still had a go.
The album maintains that friendly vibe in the recording: microphones were mobile to catch music wherever it happened. Jim Keltner played rhythm on the inside of the kitchen’s refrigerator. Songs were written in the kitchen. And after the work was done, the music would continue. “A lot of ukuleles till dawn,” says Harrison.
Roy Orbison only made it into the first music video off of the album, “Handle With Care.” He passed away just after the album went platinum in 1988, and appears as an empty rocking chair on the next video, “The End of the Line.”
The four remaining Wilburys would reunite for one more album (jokingly titled Volume 3 by prankster Harrison), but the first album still sounds timeless, five friends just having a good time together.

I’d argue that Orbison made his comeback just as he was about to die, and died at his second-peak. Remember, his songs were just featured in multiple David Lynch films, he had that wildly-popular Black & White Concert, where he was backed by other superstars, and his song “You Got It” and his album, “Mystery Girl”, were at the top-of-the-charts when he suddenly ascended into Rock & Roll Heaven. Good for Roy, he was a national-treasure!
Hi, good article over all but you got a major fact wrong about Roy Orbison and his involvement in the first Wilbury album. He was featured on almost every single track on the album and well as a stand alone song, above and being the titular Handle With Care. His presence was huge, and I don’t know how you couldn’t know that unless you haven’t actually listened to the record you’re talking about. Very strange.
I caught that too. But what do I know, I’m an old rock and roll animal with one foot in the grave. I recorded this doc on DVD from the Sundance channel decades ago. Still have it and coincidentally just watched it again.
For myself, this group of incredible guys will always be a part of my music world. All of them legends, and sadly 3 are gone. When TW was actively recording and touring, I was not familiar with them. I’m embarrassed about that, although I was always listening to all of them individually. I just was not aware of the group itself. I love the music now and will always!
They didn’t say that Orbison wasn’t involved with every track on the album. Only that he was in one music video. Which is absolutely true.
Original writer here: yes, that was an unfortunate typo on my part, writing “song” instead of “music video”. I was Running Scared from the internet comments at first, and was Crying over it , but now we’ve fixed the error. I apologize and ask for [Pretty Woman riff} Mercy!!!
I’m not an IT guy. Where can I watch the documentary of the Wilburys?
If you read the artical,it said he only made it into the first Music Video off the first album

The Traveling Wilburys came to terms with death on “End Of The Line”
In Hear This , The A.V. Club writers sing the praises of songs they know well. This week: Songs about endings.
Traveling Wilburys, “End Of The Line” (1989)
I discovered the Travelling Wilburys when I was 10 or something, having stumbled across the group’s debut album on a tape my parents had tucked away in the back of their stereo cabinet. I don’t know where they got it—my parents are more library people than purchasing people—but I really liked the tunes. They were poppy and catchy in equal parts, and right up my pre-teen alley.

It wasn’t until years later that I actually figured out who the Wilburys were. When I was 10, I just thought they were guys with funny hats or something, never having bothered to read the tiny cassette liner notes. I knew who George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty were at the time, but I knew them as individual artists or as members of larger acts like The Beatles. Learning, when I was 18, that those guys all banded together with ELO’s Jeff Lynne to form a supergroup was pretty confounding. Even now, the concept of the Wilburys still seems pretty ridiculous. A bunch of mega-stars who just happen to be friends get together and make a couple of records— and those records aren’t terrible . In fact, they’re pretty good. It’s shocking.
While my favorite Wilburys track is the group’s first single, “ Handle With Care ,” there’s a lot to love about the gang’s second single, “End Of The Line,” as well. An extended metaphor that smashes together a bunch of freight-train references and thoughts about living your best life, “End Of The Line” is full of lines extolling the virtues of “[living] the life you please” and how “the best you can do is forgive.” The Wilburys weren’t old guys when their first record was released in 1988—Tom Petty was 38, for instance, while Harrison was 45—but the song sounds like the group was making peace with the end of their respective lives. Together, they’d all lived hard and long, and were apparently feeling pretty zen about the whole death thing.
All that end-of-life musing is particularly poignant when you consider the music video for the track was filmed right after Orbison’s untimely death from a heart attack at 52. Orbison’s vocals are still on the track—he’d recorded them long before the video shoot—but he’s conspicuously absent from the clip, represented by just a rocking chair and a guitar. Though Orbison’s death was somewhat of a surprise—he’d complained to Johnny Cash that he’d been having chest pains, but still no one thought he’d end up having a heart attack—it was as if, with this song and alongside his pals in the Wilburys, he’d learned to come to terms with not only all the tragedy he’d faced in his life, but with the possibility of his own demise. Unfortunately, that death came much too soon.

I wanted to say if anybody out there who has got all the offical Traveling Wilburys albums, would you be so kind to record the B-studio demo version of their 1988 hit Handle with Care on YouTube if you can, I haven’t heard it what it sounded like and I couldn’t afford it because of fondly love this song, the 2007 remaster sucked.
Yes, I defintely agree with you I wanted this demo version of my favourite Traveling Wilburys song Handle with Care right now on YouTube, it’s so good I fondly love that song from my childhood.
I’m not going to be happy anymore until the demo version of my favourite Traveling Wilburys song Handle with Care is on YouTube right now or else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on everybody please posted the demo version of the Wilburys’ Handle with Care right, just for there’s any Wilburys bootleg albums you had then if you do find one, put those on YouTube you do if you will, then I’ll be happy to see that happen to hear what I never heard of it before, give it a try for my sake.
There is no demo of “Handle with Care” (there are some demo-fakes made ruining the equalisation of the final song) because this track don´t belong to the same sessions as the rest of the “TW Vol.1 Album”. Originally was planned to be the B-Side of the “(Got My nMind) Set on You” single by George Harrison, but the record company realised the potential of the track, there were very good relationship between those great musiciaans and the rest is history…
This looks like a collection worth having. Any chance of a re-upload?
I’ve been saying no to just about all requests lately, but since you’ve been a friend to the site for a long while now I’ll do this. Do ge patient though its gonna be awhile before I can get to it
Keep being patient. For you I will get this up eventually. Someday. Maybe soon. My wife will be home for the summer starting next week so maybe after then.
Mat, While you are going to re-post this for another, I wanted to let you know how much it will be appreciated! I’m disabled, and great music like this is what helps me to keep going!! Music helps me cope with the constant pain!!! Thanks, Daniel

The Truth About How The Highwaymen Got Together
![travelling wilburys johnny cash Nelson and Kristofferson](https://www.grunge.com/img/gallery/the-truth-about-how-the-highwaymen-got-together/intro-1585232139.jpg)
Marvel Team-up teaches us lots of lessons about teamwork and cooperation and grudging admiration of another person's abilities. It also teaches us that if one awe-inspiring individual is, well, awe-inspiring, wouldn't it be cooler if there was more than one? That's absolutely the music world's reaction to supergroups like 1988's The Traveling Wilburys: George Harrison (awesome), Bob Dylan (more awesome), Jeff Lyne (awesomer), Tom Petty (awesome to the nth exponential degree) and Roy Orbison (everyone's head explodes). That's rock-and-roll heaven right there. Country music got the jump on them, though, with Highwayman, the debut album of The Highwaymen in 1985.
The band worked together for 10 years, comprised of some of the most influential and popular singer-songwriters in country history: Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson. Rolling Stone Magazine quoted Emmy Lou Harris, no slouch herself: "They need to be up there on the big rock with the presidents."
It was a supergroup founded on friendship
John Carter Cash , Johnny's son who personally witnessed the band coming together, believes that at its foundation, The Highwaymen was a supergroup "founded by friendship. And it's the honesty and the purity of that friendship that made the Highwaymen stand out." Shooter Jennings, son of Waylon, echoes that sentiment. "Those guys really loved each other," he said. "That's where the magic was."
It's said that the idea was birthed via Johnny Cash, who was filming a TV Christmas special in Montreux, Switzerland, and invited the other three to take part. They'd known each other for years — Rosanne Cash says that her father and Waylon "were roommates in the Sixties, hiding their drugs from each other" — and even after a long day's filming, would still get together at the hotel at the end of the day and simply play music together. That led to an album, including a title track (and band name) written by Jimmy Webb, "Highwayman." Eventually the group would record two other studio albums together, Highwayman II and The Road Goes On Forever . A 2016 CD box set and DVD release include concert footage of the group.
Besides the pure joy of recording and performing together, the four of them appeared together in the 1986 remake of John Ford's classic film Stagecoach . The team really was a marvel.
Traveling Wilburys: Tom Petty on the cosmic genesis of an extraordinary supergroup
“I was never afraid of Bob Dylan, he was always nice to me" - in 2010 the late Tom Petty told us how the Traveling Wilburys came into being
![travelling wilburys johnny cash Travelling Wilburys promo shot](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/RvCGxvSzKqhFJ8ts23a9z7-320-80.jpg)
When people complain about overuse of the word 'Supergroup', it's not the Traveling Wilburys they're talking about. For this was a band so super that Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were the junior partners.
The rest? Bob Dylan . Roy Orbison. Oh yeah, and one of The Beatles .
The Traveling Wilburys only managed to record one album with the original line-up before the death of Orbison, but a second arrived almost exactly two years later. And since then, two more of the Wilbury family have departed (Beatle George Harrison in 2001 and Petty in 2017).
In 2010, Tom Petty told Classic Rock about the band's cosmic origins, a serendipitous tale involving hurricanes, traffic lights and Christmas shopping.
![travelling wilburys johnny cash Alt](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ReypLqwpSwDdEjUjpzJgzG-320-80.png)
“My Wilbury nickname was Charlie T. Near the end of the [Heartbreakers] tour in 1987, we were in London. While we were there, George [Harrison] and Jeff [Lynne] would come to see us every night and usually come backstage afterwards. I remember we were having such a good time after one of the shows we stayed back there for hours. It was one of those, ‘You’ve got to leave, we are shutting the building down’ nights. I felt really inspired by it all. I remember thinking, ‘My God, this is great. I love these guys.’
“We went back to the hotel and a hurricane hit the middle of London the same night. They didn’t even predict it, but it ripped huge oaks out of the ground. I got up the next day and thought, ‘Holy cow, this is something.’ I always thought that hurricane had something to do with something. My life was different after that."
“I was back in America and it was a holiday. I think it was Thanksgiving, and I went to buy baseball gloves for a game. I pulled up to a red light and there was Jeff in the car next to me. I had seen him a few weeks before in England, but it seemed strange that he was at the red light and I waved at him. He was shocked too. We pulled over and he said, ‘Where are you going?

“We are very similar people in that we live the same kind of life. So it was great, he would come over and I would have a friend to hang around with. Then one day a week or two later, I was out Christmas shopping with my oldest daughter and there was this really nice French restaurant that we used to go to for special occasions. So we stopped. The waiter came up to us and said that there was a friend of mine in a private room and he would like to see me.
"It turned out to be George [Harrison]. When I got there, he said, ‘This is so strange. I was writing your number down from Jeff and they told me you were in the next room.’ I agreed it was strange. Cosmic, even."
“Then he asked me where I was going. I told him I was going home and he asked if he could come with me. Without even thinking about it I said, ‘Yeah.’ So he came home with me and he spent the holiday and we became good friends. “Jeff kept telling me that he had been talking with Roy Orbison about coming out to California, and I said, ‘Wow, that is pretty supernatural.’
"Jeff said that he’d talked to him about recording and thought he’d be up for it. I said that I’d love to see that if he comes out. I didn’t hear any more about it for a while, but Jeff phoned me one afternoon and said, ‘Hey man, Roy Orbison is over here and we are going to write a song. Roy asked if you would come over and help us with it.’ I said, ‘Hey man, I am there, baby!’.
“I was never afraid of Bob [Dylan], he was always nice to me. I have never been in awe of anyone and I think it’s worked in my favour. Dylan comes from folk music where if you wanted to play an extra bar you could, so he might play five bars instead of four and think nothing of it. There is an air of spontaneity about him; if things get too well rehearsed he doesn’t seem to like it. Although he never said it to me, I think he likes to keep things a little bit edgy.
“A lot of people think that the Traveling Wilburys were united because it was a good idea, but really we were pals and hanging out long before the Wilburys.”

![travelling wilburys johnny cash Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1](https://classicrockreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1988_TravelingWilburys-Volume11.jpg)
It all started in Los Angeles in Spring 1988 when George Harrison was looking to record B-side material for a vinyl 12-inch European single. Jeff Lynne , who co-produced Harrison’s most recent album Cloud Nine was also in Los Angeles at the time. Lynne was producing some music for Roy Orbison as well as the debut solo album, Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty . Lynne was able to enlist both artists to help out Harrison, who was in a huge hurry to record his material. The final piece of the Traveling Wilbury puzzle was Bob Dylan , who had built a home studio in nearby Malibu and agreed to let the makeshift group record the very next day. On that day, the legendary musicians wrote and recorded the song “Handle with Care” in about five hours. The experience was so positive that all five agreed to form a group and reconvened a month later to record the other nine tracks on what would become Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 . Here the magic continued as the group wrote and recorded on acoustic guitars. With a limited amount of time before Dylan headed out on a scheduled tour, the five singers in the group often took turns at songs until Harrison (as group arbiter) selected the best “lead” voice for each part. The final phase was Harrison and Lynne returning to England for final overdubs and production. Here Harrison added some electric and lead guitars, Lynne added keyboards and bass, Jim Keltner was brought in on drums.
Although it is generally agreed that Harrison was the group’s leader, they did work hard to maintain a collective image and even set up fictional names for each member masquerading as the “Wilbury” brothers – Nelson (Harrison), Otis (Lynne), Lucky (Dylan), Lefty (Orbison), and Charlie T. Jr. (Petty) with Keltner given the humorous “outsider” name “Buster Sidebury”. All group members also got songwriting credits on the album, although the publishing credits were disbursed according to the actual songwriter. The Wilbury name originated from Harrison and Lynne previously working together as a pseudonym for slight recording errors (“we’ll bury ’em in the mix”).
The ringing guitars of “Handle with Care”, the original Wilbury song, starts things off. Harrison, the primary composer, delivers deliberate vocalizing during the verses which gives way to Orbison’s smooth crooning during the choruses. Dylan and Petty deliver a chanting post-chorus and two instances of Harrison’s classic guitar along with a short Dylan harmonica lead make the song a true classic in just about every way. Within its brief three and a half minutes the song is dotted with decades of rock history, making this the perfect track to introduce the album. While not every song on the album wraps itself so well as “Handle with Care”, there is not a truly weak moment on the album.
On “Dirty World” Dylan’s rough lead vocals are complimented by smooth backing vocals and a bright acoustic arrangement. The song also contains some horns and an interesting arrangement all around. This song was a particularly enjoyable one for the band to record as each member took a turn singing in the “round” during the extended outro. Jeff Lynne’s “Rattled” is pure rockabilly led by Orbinson on vocals, almost like a lost early Elvis song. Lynne’s bass and Harrison’s lead guitar shine musically and the actual “rattle” in the song is drummer Keltner tapping the refrigerator grill with his drum sticks.
“Last Night” contains Caribbean elements with some percussion and horns and Petty singing during verse and Orbinson during the bridges. The whimsical, storytelling song has a great aura and feel throughout. Petty did the core composing with each group member contributing to the songwriting approach. The verses has an upbeat folk/Latin feel with the bridge being a bit more dramatic. The first side completes with “Not Alone Any More”, a vocal centerpiece for Orbison. His vocals smoothly lead a modern version of early sixties rock and Lynne’s keyboards add more decoration than any other song on the first side. If “Not Alone Anymore” is in the clouds, the second side opener “Congratulations” is right down at ground level. This tavern style ballad with Dylan on lead vocals sounds much like his late 70s / early 80s era material, with blues-like reverences to broken relationships, and includes a very short but great lead guitar by Harrison right at the end.
The up-tempo “Heading for the Light” is a quintessential Harrison/Lynne production, with the former Beatle composing and singing and the former ELO front man providing the lush production and orchestration. The song contains great picked guitar fills as well as a saxophone solo by Jim Horn . “Margarita” may be the oddest song on the album but is still a great sonic pleasure. It begins with a programmed eighties synth line then the long intro slowly works its way into a Latin acoustic section topped by horns, lead guitar, and rich vocal harmonies. It is not until a minute and a half in that Petty’s lead vocals come in for a single verse then the song works its ways through various short sections towards an encapsulated synth ending. This spontaneous composition with free-association lyrics showed with a group of this talent could do on the spot.
“Tweeter and the Monkey Man” is Bob Dylan channeling Bruce Springsteen and coming out with what may have been one of the best Springsteen songs ever (even though he had nothing to do with it). This extended song with the traditional Dylan style of oodles of verses and a theatrical chorus includes several references to Springsteen songs throughout and is in Springsteen’s home state of New Jersey. It may have been Dylan’s delayed response to the press repeatedly coining Bruce “the next Dylan”. No matter what the case, the result is an excellent tune with lyrics rich enough to base a book or movie.
The most perfect album closer to any album – ever, “End of the Line” contains a Johnny Cash-like train rhythm beneathe deeply philosophical lyrics, delivered in a light and upbeat fashion. Harrison, Lynne, Orbinson, and Harrison again provide the lead vocals during the chorus hooks while Petty does the intervening verses. The song revisits the classic music themes of survival and return with the universal message that, in the big picture, it all ends someday. The feeling of band unity is also strongest here with the folksy pop/rock chords and great harmonies. The music video for “End of the Line” was filmed after Roy Orbison’s death in December 1988, mere weeks after the album’s release, and paid tasteful respect with a shot of a guitar sitting in a rocking chair during the verse which Orbison sang.
Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 sold over two million copies within its first six months, a figure which made this album a higher seller than any of Bob Dylan’s albums to that date. The album was critically favored and won a Grammy award in 1990. The surviving members of the group reconvened for a second album, which fell far short of capturing the magic of this debut and a long-planned tour by the group never materialized, although members continued to collaborate on each other’s albums for years to come. The incredible magic that came together in 1988 is yet to repeated anywhere in the rock universe.

Craft Recordings have announced that a limited edition 12” picture disc of the unforgettable 1988 album The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 will be released on 2 November to mark its 30 th anniversary.
The new disc arrives just over a year after the passing of the second member of the unique, all-star group, but the absence of Tom Petty and Roy Orbison only enhances the legacy of a never-to-be-repeated debut record they created with their friends Bob Dylan and co-producers George Harrison and Jeff Lynne.
The project began when Harrison and Lynne were asked to cut a b-side for a single from George’s hugely successful Cloud Nine album. Needing to record quickly, they borrowed their friend Dylan’s studio and the result was the spontaneous emergence of ‘Handle With Care,’ which featured Petty, Orbison and, ultimately, Dylan himself. The song was clearly too good to be hidden as a b-side and went on to be the lead track from an extraordinary superstar collaboration.

“I liked the song,” Harrison said later, “and the way that it turned out with all these people on it so much that I just carried it around in my pocket for ages thinking, ‘Well what can I do with this thing?’ And the only thing to do I could think of was do another nine. Make an album.”
So the five friends did just that, working swiftly and informally but as a full-fledged band, sharing lead vocals and songwriting duties. The group name of the Traveling Wilburys was chosen and alternative identities as a “family” group were established, with Dylan as Lucky Wilbury, Harrison as Nelson Wilbury, Orbison as Lefty Wilbury, Lynne as Otis Wilbury and Petty as Charlie T. Wilbury Jr.
The album went on to spectacular success, with triple platinum certification in the US for three million shipments; it went six-times platinum in Canada, platinum in the UK and gold in several other countries. It also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.
Tragically, Orbison died just six weeks after the album’s release, but the rest of the group reconvened in his honour for the 1990 sequel, humorously titled The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3. The new picture disc edition of the original album is a timely reminder of one of the most spur-of-the-moment and joyous happenings in music history.
The limited edition 12” picture disc of The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 is released on 2 November, and can be bought here .
