Music reviews of Traveling Wilburys (2 CD / 1 DVD)
Music Review: I Get Rattled Over It!
Rating: 5 Stars
The Traveling Wilburys are finally on the move again, in the form of this fine rerelease, anyhow. George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison (Vol.1 only) joined together in 1988 to record an album as a "supergroup", The Traveling Wilburys ( each band member was credited under an alias, ie. Lefty Wilbury, the idea being that they were the Wilbury Brothers.) Despite Roy Orbison's untimely death in December of 1988 from a heart attack, the remaining group members reconvened in 1990, took different aliases and recorded a second, and final album ( with George Harrison, proclaimed "ringleader of the Wilburys" by Tom Petty dead, it is unlikely that any further albums will be recorded.) Now reissued in the form of this set, featuring a DVD of music videos and interviews with the Wilburys, the music of both the above albums is available once more for our enjoyment. How do the music and DVD rate? Read on...
Well first, other than Handle with Care ( which I heard from the concert for George performance with Tom Petty and the Heartbrakers, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison), I had not heard any of the Wilbury songs prior to owning this collection. I have to say that I enjoyed almost all of them immensley and every song does have something positive to offer. For example, though I'm not the biggest fan of Bob Dylan ( the guy has written great lyrics, but his style just isn't really my thing all that much) I have to say that Dirty World, and 7 Deadly Sins ( both of which he lead sings) are lyrically amongst the best on either album, and are highly enjoyable. Heading for the Light, and especially The Devil's Been Busy are clear highlights for anyone who, like me, considers themselves a fan of the solo work of George Harrison ( listen for the sitar on the latter track.) Last Night is brilliant Tom Petty ( I'm just starting out on him) and Not Alone Any More is a moving song, sung in typically uplifitng beauty by Roy Orbison ( one of R&R's greatest voices ever.) Congratulations and Tweeter and the Monkeyman ( the latter being rather amusing) have their charms and have grown on me, while End of the Line and Handle with Care, the two biggest hits, are fine numbers, with outstanding vocals.
So far, I've only discussed Vol. 1 for the most part. However, that said, I feel Vol. 3 ( George, being who he was, decided the second album ought to be called number 3) to be the stronger of the two. She's My Baby makes for a fab start, while Inside Out and If You Belonged to Me follow amiably, but not outstandingly. Devil's Been Busy and 7 Deadly Sins are clear highlights, Poor House is fun, while Cool Dry Place, it has to be said, despite some amusing lyrics is a low point for either album, but at least fits in with the flow. New Blue Moon and Where Were You Last Night are fine numbers ( with the former outstanding, in the romantic vein.)You Took my Breath away seems, seems mark you, to meander lyrically ( in a charming sort of way) but is still enjoyable, and Wilbury Twist, along with Devil's Been Busy, She's My Baby, 7 Deadly Sins, and New Blue Moon, forms the powerhouse of Vol. 3. This, the Wilburys' best is a highly enjoyable album!
( As a brief side-note: This being as good a time as any, I would like to question a previous reviewer's dismissal of Jeff Lynne. The guy's got a beard, OK. He's a GREAT producer (Cloud Nine, by George Harrison, being a prime example of this),and with ELO wrote many fine songs with great melody, and, yes, strange lyrics. This man's combination of the classical and pop genres in the early days of ELO makes for great listening material to this day. While not always lyrically brilliant, Jeff Lynne is a fine musician and producer, and his contributions to anything, this included, should not be overlooked. Rattled, She's My Baby, et al, happen to favorites of mine here! ( With Bob Dylan in the group, I don't know how anyone could argue that Jeff has the worst singing voice of the Wilburys either.))
As to the DVD, the documentary ( the true History of the Traveiling Wilburys, complete with the band members credited under aliases) is great stuff, fine interviews and a fascinating look at the creative process of the band, although I would have liked to see some stuff on Vol. 3 as well ( George is heard to say that Roy would have liked them to go on, but that's about it.) The videos are great to see with End of the Line, and Handle With Care from the first album featured, while She's My Baby, Wilbury Twist ( especially great video) and Inside Out come from Vol. 3. The liner notes are great fun too ( with Anthony DeCurtis elaborating on the history of the Traveling Wilburys as a race of peoples!) and the photos are nice to see out and about.
Overall, the music alone makes the set worth it, but combined with the DVD and booklet, this is a five star box set. Essential, especially for those who don't own any Wilburies already. 5/5
Description of Traveling Wilburys (2 CD / 1 DVD)
Featuring classics like "Handle With Care," "End Of The Line," and "Heading For The Light," super-group Traveling Wilbury's Collection highlights all of the band's music and previously unreleased bonus tracks through this re-mastered double album. The DVD features behind the scenes footage of the band writing and recording, along with their 5 video clips.The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn't try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later--the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released--the loose-knit collective had recorded material that was as durable, and occasionally eclipsed, the participants' legendary solo work. The Wilburys succeeded due to a genial and contagious camaraderie that permeates both discs. What could have been a train wreck of ego clashes instead resulted in a frothy meeting of the minds. These guys are having a blast, trading lead vocals and harmonies on energetic folk-rock, quirky rockabilly, and Beatlesque pop that shimmers with the respect and esteem the members clearly hold for each other. Harrison and Lynne's rather slick production polishes off edges that might better have been left unvarnished, but there's no denying the loosey-goosey craftsmanship at work in tunes such as "Handle with Care," "End of the Line," and a striking Orbison performance on "Not Alone Anymore" that ranks with any of his finest. Both albums were million-sellers, but oddly went out of print for about a decade until Rhino resurrected them, adding two rare tracks per disc as well as a DVD of music videos and a band documentary. The resulting package is a comprehensive overview of a once--well, twice--in-a-lifetime project that, especially after Harrison's passing, will never be repeated. --Hal Horowitz
