Free Music Notes for The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1
Free Music Review: The extraordinary obituary of rock and roll
Hit: 5 Stars
The legend behind this album has already been told well... recorded in ten days' time in Bob Dylan's home recording studio, ten tracks were released by five of the monuments of rock, all recording under pseudonyms, with liner notes of a group history that never happened.
The songs on the album cover a vast history of rock, offering a variety of different influences and even eras. The first and last songs, the bookends, tell the history of rock in metaphor.
"Handle with Care" is, perhaps, the most honest writing about what being a rock star felt like: "Sent to meetings hypnotized... over-exposed, commercialized..." You imagine any of the band (Petty, Lynne, Orbison, Harrison, Dylan) at the height of fame, staggering into a record company meeting after an all-night bender, signing a contract they barely understand for an album they don't want to produce for money they don't need.
Most of the other songs on the album are spare, but still an amazing sampling of what five rock geniuses can put together in a few short hours, if inspired to do so. I will let the strengths and weaknesses of these songs speak for themselves.
The final song, however, is something utterly unique and meaningful. The five Wilburys sing "End of the Line" together, in fact in the order they are pictured on the cover. Dylan whines through the first verse, then Jeff Lynne's country sensibility overtakes him, mixing ideas of working-man strength and getting by. Petty chimes in musing about the future, and references Hendrix. Then, Orbison, the old, dirty, angel of rock tells you the end is near (which it was for him), but that all will be well. Harrison's Liverpool accent takes over, and you can't help but feel as though you've read the last chapter of the history of rock. It was a good story, an imperfect one, but ultimately an amazing ride. Rest in peace.
The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 Poster
This is the best record of it s kind ever made. Then again, it's also the only record of its kind ever made.. . . one of the few rock supergroups actually deserving to be called either super or a group. Rolling Stone, 1988
With a line-up featuring legendary artists Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, the Traveling Wilburys
were a one-of-a-kind musical phenomenon. The all-star configuration came about when they convened at a Southern California
studio in 1988 to record a b-side for a Harrison s single. They had such a rockin good time cutting Handle With Care that they decided to release it under the Wilburys moniker, and to continue the collaboration with an album's worth of songs. Their
camaraderie is heard in every groove on Rhino's remastered reissue of their now-historic, GRAMMY®-winning debut VOLUME 1.
They followed it up in 1990 with a second full-length, VOLUME 3 the disc was minus Orbison, who passed away in 88, but still
full of the spirit that made their musical brotherhood the stuff of legend. After being out of print for more than a decade, Rhino
reintroduced the classic discs boasting previously unreleased bonus tracks in 2007 as part of a special 2CD/DVD set The
Traveling Wilburys Collection. The expanded VOLUME 1 and VOLUME 3 are now available as individual titles.
