The band recorded two albums, the first in 1988 and the second in 1990, though Orbison died before the second was recorded. The project 's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of the singer - songwriters. Their debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 proved an enduring critical success, in 1989 and 1990 winning accolades such as a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.

It was George 's band -- it was always George 's band and it was a dream he had for a long time. -- Tom Petty George Harrison first mentioned the Traveling Wilburys publicly during a radio interview with Bob Coburn on the show Rockline in February 1988. When asked how he planned to follow up the success of his Cloud Nine album, Harrison replied : `` What I 'd really like to do next is... to do an album with me and some of my mates... It 's this new group I got ( in mind ) : it 's called the Traveling Wilburys, I 'd like to do an album with them and then later we can all do our own albums again. '' According to Jeff Lynne, who co-produced Cloud Nine, Harrison introduced the idea of the two of them starting a band together around two months into the sessions for his album, which began in early January 1987. When discussing who the other members might be, Harrison chose Bob Dylan and Lynne opted for Roy Orbison. The term `` Wilbury '' also originated during the Cloud Nine sessions. Referring to recording errors created by faulty equipment, Harrison jokingly remarked to Lynne, `` We 'll bury ' em in the mix. '' Thereafter, they used the term for any small error in performance. Harrison first suggested `` the Trembling Wilburys '' as the group 's name ; at Lynne 's suggestion, they amended it to `` Traveling Wilburys ''. Harrison and Lynne became friends with Tom Petty in October 1987, when Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, toured Europe as Dylan 's backing group. The friendship continued in Los Angeles later that year ; there, Harrison struck up a musical rapport with Petty based on their shared love of 1950s rock ' n roll, and Lynne began collaborating with Petty on what became the latter 's debut solo album, Full Moon Fever, in addition to producing sessions for a comeback album by Orbison. According to Petty, Harrison 's dream for the Wilburys was to handpick the participants and create `` the perfect little band '', but the criteria for inclusion was governed most by `` who you could hang out with ''. 1988 -- 91 `` Handle with Care '' and band formation The band came together in April 1988, when Harrison was in Los Angeles to oversee the filming of his HandMade Films production Checking Out. At that time, Warner Bros. Records asked Harrison for a new song to serve as the B - side for the European release of his third single from Cloud Nine, `` This Is Love ''. During a meal with Lynne and Orbison, Harrison asked Lynne to help him record the track and invited Orbison to attend the session, which he then arranged to take place at Dylan 's garage studio in Malibu since no professional studios were available at such short notice. Petty 's involvement came about when Harrison went to retrieve his guitar from Petty 's house and invited him to attend also. Working on a song that Harrison had recently started writing, the ensemble completed the track, which they titled `` Handle with Care '' after a label on a box in Dylan 's garage. When Harrison presented the recording to Warner Bros., the executives insisted that the song was too good to be used as `` filler '' on a European single. In Petty 's recollection, Harrison and Lynne then decided to realise their idea of forming a Wilburys band, and first invited him to join before phoning Dylan, who also agreed to join. That night, Harrison, Lynne and Petty drove to Anaheim to see Orbison perform at the Celebrity Theatre and recruited him for the group shortly before he went on stage. In Petty 's description, Orbison performed an `` unbelievable show '', during which `` we 'd punch each other and go, ' He 's in our band, too. '... We were all so excited. '' Debut album From my point of view, I just tried to preserve our relationship. I worked so hard to make sure that all the guys who were in that band, and consequently on record and film, that their friendship was n't abused. Just to preserve our friendship -- that was the underlying contribution, I think, that I was trying to do. -- George Harrison The band members decided to create a full album together, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1. Video footage of the creative process was partly shot by British photographer NJ Latham and later edited by Harrison. The album was recorded primarily over a ten - day period in May 1988 to allow for Dylan 's limited availability as he prepared for his upcoming US tour. These sessions were held in the house of Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, in Los Angeles. The five band members sat in a circle playing acoustic guitars in Stewart 's kitchen ; once each song 's basic track had been written and recorded there ( with accompaniment from a drum machine ), the group recorded their vocals in another room, usually after dinner each night. Petty recalled that, as a friend but also an avowed fan of Dylan 's, Harrison felt the need to clear the air on the first day by saying to him : `` We know that you 're Bob Dylan and everything, but we 're going to just treat you and talk to you like we would anybody else. '' Dylan replied : `` Well, great. Believe it or not, I 'm in awe of you guys, and it 's the same for me. '' While most of the songs had a primary composer, all of the band members were creative equals. Petty later described Harrison as the Wilburys ' `` leader and manager '', and credited him with being a bandleader and producer that had a natural instinct for bringing out the best in people and keeping a recording session productive. As the group 's producers, Harrison and Lynne directed the sessions, with Harrison often auditioning each member to decide who should sing a particular lead vocal part. The two producers then flew back to England ; Lynne recalls that, throughout the flight, he and Harrison enthused about how to turn the sparse, acoustic - based tracks into completed recordings. Overdubs and further recording took place at Harrison 's studio, FPSHOT, with `` Sideburys '' Jim Keltner ( drums ), Jim Horn ( saxophones ) and Ray Cooper ( percussion ). Harrison described the band 's sound as `` skiffle for the 1990s ''. The album was released on 18 October on Wilbury Records, with distribution by Warner 's, rather than on Harrison 's Dark Horse label, in the interests of maintaining the group identity. Over the months following the end of recording in the summer, contractual issues had been successfully negotiated between Warner 's and the record companies representing Dylan, Petty, Lynne and Orbison. As was the case in 1971 when EMI prepared Harrison 's multi-artist live album from the Concert for Bangladesh for release, Columbia, Dylan 's label, presented the main stumbling block. In the album credits, the `` Wilburys '' joke was extended further, with the band members listed under various pseudonyms and pretending to be half - brothers -- sons of a fictional Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr. During promotion for the album, Orbison played along with the mock history, saying : `` Some people say Daddy was a cad and a bounder, but I remember him as a Baptist minister. '' Vol. 1 was a critical and commercial success, and revitalised the careers of Dylan, Orbison and Petty. As Harrison had intended, the album defied contemporary musical trends such as hip hop, acid house and synthesized pop ; author Alan Clayson likens its release to `` a Viking longship docking in a hovercraft terminal ''. The album produced two successful singles and went on to achieve triple - platinum certification for sales in the United States. It was nominated for several awards and won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. Liner notes on the album cover were written by Michael Palin under a pseudonym. Palin 's essay was based on an idea by Derek Taylor, who wrote an extensive fictional history of the Wilburys family that otherwise went unused. Harrison planned a feature film about the band, to be produced by HandMade and directed by David Leland, but contractual problems ended the project. Orbison 's death, `` Nobody 's Child '' and Vol. 3 Roy Orbison died of a heart attack on December 6, 1988. In tribute to him, the music video for the band 's second single, `` End of the Line '', shows Orbison 's guitar rocking in a chair as the rest of the group play, followed by a brief shot focusing on a framed picture of him. Although there was speculation in the press that Del Shannon or Roger McGuinn might join the Wilburys, the remaining members never considered replacing Orbison. Lynne later said : `` We 'd become this unit, we were all good pals... We always knew we were going to do another one, and now it 's just the four of us. '' In March 1990, Harrison, Lynne, Petty and Dylan reunited to work on a second Wilburys album, which they intentionally misnumbered Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3. It was preceded by a non-album single, a cover of `` Nobody 's Child '', which the band recorded for Olivia Harrison 's Romanian Angel Appeal charity project. 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. Although he ceded his own role as a lead vocalist to Dylan and to Petty, Harrison took over more of the production and contributed more prominently as a lead guitarist than before. Petty described the album as `` a little more rough and ready, a bit more raucous '' than Vol. 1, 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. Vol. 3 was released on October 30, 1990. It was dedicated to Orbison, as `` Lefty Wilbury '', the pseudonym that Orbison had used in 1988 in honour of his hero Lefty Frizzell. The album met with less success than the previous one. According to Warner Bros. head Mo Ostin, the choice of album title came about through `` George being George '' ; apparently Harrison was making a wry reference to the appearance of a bootleg that served as a sort of Volume 2. The album 's liner notes were written by Eric Idle under a pseudonym. For the band 's final single, `` Wilbury Twist '', they filmed a video in which Idle, John Candy and other comedic actors attempt to master the song 's eponymous dance style. The clip was filmed in Los Angeles and completed on 28 February 1991. After the Wilburys According to Jim Keltner, the Wilburys ' drummer, the decision on the group 's future after Vol. 3 lay with Harrison. Keltner said that from his conversations with Lynne, Petty and Dylan, they were all keen to reunite, whereas Harrison wavered in his enthusiasm. While Harrison was against the idea of touring, Petty recalled : `` I kept getting down on my knees in front of George, saying, ' Please, it 's so much money ! '' After his 1991 tour of Japan -- his first series of concerts since 1974 -- Harrison spoke of a possible Traveling Wilburys tour : That would be something I 'd like to experience. I 've always played around in my own mind what a Wilburys tour could be. Would each person do a solo set and then do Wilburys at the end, or would we all go right on from beginning to end and make everything Wilburys ? It 's an intriguing thought. We could have a great band up there and the four of us could play acoustic if we wanted to. We could all sing `` Blowin ' in the Wind '' and Bob could sing `` Something ''. Or we could just sing our individual songs and make them Wilbury tunes, as if we 'd recorded them that way. Whatever it was, we could do it. The Wilburys tour never came about. Petty said about the Wilburys touring : I think it would work, if we wanted to do it. I do n't think we ever considered it, really. There were a lot of nights when the conversation would roll around to that. But I do n't think anybody ever took it seriously. I think it would ruin it in a way. Then you 're obligated to be responsible and it 's not in the character of that group. It would make it very formal and that would be the wrong spirit. Legacy and influence One of the most amazing things ever about the Wilburys was this poles - apart thing of Roy ( Orbison ) and Bob Dylan. That 's what I thought was wonderful -- the best singer and the best lyricist, and they 're both in the same group. -- Jeff Lynne In the Rolling Stone Press book The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll, the Traveling Wilburys are described as `` the ultimate supergroup '', with a line - up that represented four eras of rock music history and included `` three indisputable gods '' in Dylan, Harrison and Orbison. The editors also recognise the band as `` the antithesis of a supergroup '', however, due to the musicians ' adoption of fraternal alter egos and the humour inherent in the project. AllMusic managing editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine has similarly written : `` It 's impossible to picture a supergroup with a stronger pedigree than that ( all that 's missing is a Rolling Stone ), but in another sense it 's hard to call the Wilburys a true supergroup, since they arrived nearly two decades after the all - star craze of the ' 70s peaked, and they never had the self - important air of nearly all the other supergroups. That, of course, was the key to their charm... '' Speaking to music journalist Paul Zollo in 2004, Petty agreed that humour and self - effacement had been key factors in the Wilburys ' success, adding : `` We wanted to make something good in a world that seemed to get uglier and uglier and meaner and meaner... And I 'm really proud that I was part of it. Because I do think that it brought a little sunshine into the world. '' Harrison said the project was an opportunity to `` put a finger up to the rules '' by challenging the norms associated with the music industry. Discussing the Wilburys in Peter Bogdanovich 's 2007 documentary Runnin ' Down a Dream, Petty said that one of the strengths behind the concept was that it was free of any intervention from record company, management or marketing concerns, and instead developed naturally from a spirit of cooperation and mutual admiration among five established artists. Author Simon Leng recognises the venture as primarily a channel through which Harrison and Dylan could escape the restrictions of their serious media images, but also, in its guise as a `` phantom band '', a development by Harrison of the Rutles ' satirical approach to the Beatles ' legacy, in this case by `` de-mythologizing '' rock history. Inspired by the Traveling Wilburys ' success and particularly its benefit to Petty and Orbison as artists, Warner 's executive and staff producer Lenny Waronker encouraged American guitarist Ry Cooder to form the band Little Village. The group, comprising Cooder, Keltner, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe, released a self - titled album in 1992. Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune described the Notting Hillbillies ' Missing... Presumed Having a Good Time as a Traveling Wilburys - type side project for Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. Writing in New York magazine in late 1990, Elizabeth Wurtzel cited the Notting Hillbillies ' album and the self - titled debut by Hindu Love Gods ( a band consisting of Warren Zevon and members of R.E.M. ) as examples of a trend whereby, following the Wilburys ' Vol. 1, `` more and more albums seem to be the rock - and - roll equivalents of bowling night. '' Writing in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, Colin Larkin cites the Wilburys ' contemporary skiffle as evidence of Lonnie Donegan 's continued influence on popular music long after the early 1960s. In his book Lonnie Donegan and the Birth of British Rock & Roll, Patrick Humphries describes the Wilburys as `` a makeshift quintet whose roots were firmly and joyously planted in low - key, low - tech skiffle music ''. He credits the band with inspiring a brief revival of Donegan 's `` DIY skiffle '', which included Knopfler 's Notting Hillbillies. Catalogue reissue and Genesis Publications book 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. -- Tom Petty in The True History of the Traveling Wilburys In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the two Traveling Wilburys albums had limited availability and were out of print in most areas. Harrison, as primary holder of the rights, did not reissue them before his death. In June 2007, the two albums were reissued as The Traveling Wilburys Collection, a box set including both albums on CD ( with bonus tracks ) and a DVD featuring a 25 - minute documentary titled The True History of the Traveling Wilburys and a collection of music videos. The box set was released in three editions ; the standard edition, with both CDs and DVD in a double Digipak package and a 16 - page booklet ; a `` deluxe '' boxed edition with the CDs and DVD and an extensive 40 - page booklet, artist postcards, and photographs ; or a `` deluxe '' boxed edition on vinyl. This version omits the DVD, but adds a 12 - inch vinyl disc with rare versions of the songs. The release debuted at number 1 in the UK and Australia, and in other countries. On the US Billboard 200 it reached number 9. The collection sold 500,000 copies worldwide during the first three weeks and remained in the UK top 5 for seven weeks after its release. In November 2009, Genesis Publications, a company with which Harrison had been associated since the late 1970s, announced the release of a limited edition fine - bound book titled The Traveling Wilburys. Compiled by Olivia Harrison, the book includes rare photographs, recording notes, handwritten lyrics, sketches, and first - hand commentary on the band 's history, together with a foreword by Lynne. Petty, Lynne, Olivia Harrison, Barbara Orbison, Keltner and Idle were among those who attended the US launch at a Beverly Hills bookshop in March 2010. In an interview to publicise the book, Lynne expressed his sadness at the deaths of Harrison and Orbison, and reflected : `` The Wilburys was such a wonderful band, such a marvellous thing to be part of. They were the best people I could ever wish to work with. Every day was like, ' Wow ! '... it was fun from day one. '' Line - ups Volume 1 `` Nelson Wilbury '' -- George Harrison `` Otis Wilbury '' -- Jeff Lynne `` Lefty Wilbury '' -- Roy Orbison `` Charlie T.

However, he is seen in all of the group 's music videos, and on the DVD released in 2007, he is given the nickname `` Buster Sidebury ''. Overdubs to the bonus tracks `` Maxine '' and `` Like a Ship '' also credited as `` Ayrton Wilbury '', a pseudonym for Dhani Harrison. The name Ayrton was used in honor of F1 racer Ayrton Senna. Jim Horn played saxophone on both albums. The lead guitar on the Volume 3 song `` She 's My Baby '' was played by rock guitarist Gary Moore ( `` Ken Wilbury '' ).

Jump up ^ In music journalist Neil Staunton 's description, `` Harrison is acknowledged as the de facto chief Wilbury '', while Lynne biographer John Van der Kiste describes the Wilburys as `` in effect George 's group ''. In a 2009 interview for Mojo, in response to Mat Snow 's question `` In a band of bandleaders, who was the alpha Wilbury ? '', Petty said : `` Definitely George. It was his idea, his vision... Yeah, he 'd only ever been in one band ( the Beatles ). But he was the best bandleader I ever saw. He was really good at organising things, at knowing who was best at what, delegating what to do. He had a great passion for a band. '' Petty also recalled a subsequent discussion with Dylan when the pair were marvelling at the impact the Wilburys made and Dylan said : `` Well, George is really smart. He was in the Beatles, you know. '' Jump up ^ One of the record company executives reluctantly agreed, conceding that he did not want to be the person blocking the Wilburys venture and `` standing in the way of history being made ''. Jump up ^ According to Harrison 's neighbour and fellow musician Joe Brown, he identified the Wilburys as a skiffle band. Brown added : `` That track ' Rattled ', that 's a real skiffle thrash - up ; it sounds like a washboard, but it 's Jim Keltner playing all the grilles on the fridge in George 's kitchen. '' Jump up ^ Carl Perkins, Robbie Robertson and Gene Pitney were among the other musicians rumoured to be the new fifth Wilbury. Jump up ^ For its inclusion in the 2007 box set The Traveling Wilburys Collection, the video was re-edited to favour footage of the group miming to the song, with only minimal footage of the guest actors.
