Your evaluation of the Traveling Wilburys please.

fishermanben

It's too bad they didn't spend more time composing. Although many of their songs rock out, it's obvious that at times they didn't spend enough time working out details in the music.

Roy's voice though...man...good stuff.

"I'm so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care"

Overall, I give both of their CD's 4.5/5 stars.

it's funny. I havn't listened to the wilburys in over a year, but yesterday a radio station actually played that song on my way home from work.

Some good music and made Roy a big comeback just before the end. If not for them he would just have faded into a memory. Buy yourself a DVD called "A Black and White Night" and crank it up thru the whole thing, BIG cast of stars that could have been with the Wilbury's. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/roy_orbison_and_friends_black_and_white_night/

One of those groups like Cream; all that talent and promise, and then pffft. I have never heard another male voice equaling Orbison's range and quality. We were fortunate to have him in our lifetime.

Didn't it have something to do with Harrison having a contract to record exclusively under another label?

It was a case of too many cooks.

I agree. It's still good stuff though.
