The story of the Traveling Wilburys is the least curious and anecdotal, this superband was the product of coincidences, coincidences and above all the friendship of some great musicians who were all friends.The story goes that George Harrison found himself needing to compose and record a song for the B-side of the European version of the single "Cloud Nine, and while in Los Angeles, he calls Jeff Lynne, friend and producer of Harrison's album. to help him on that single, by chance Jeff Lynne is in a recording studio with Roy Orbison in the making of the album "Mistery Girl", so Lynne himself asks Orbison for help to collaborate on the song.
For the occasion George needs one of his guitars that is at Tom Petty's home and when he goes to pick it up and talk about it, he offers to participate.
A short time later when they are ready to start recording, Bob Dylan finds out about this recording and proposes to George Harrison to help them finish the song ... and so a group of friends meet in the studio, all of whom are extraordinary talents.
However, George thinks that he is not going to sing the solo with the great Roy Orbison in front of him, so he composes a song for him to sing, and so it all begins, since then each one begins to compose material for the singer to sing. another and the other and thus begin to create songs like "Handle With Care".
They soon realized that this song was excellent and they concluded that they needed 9 more to complete an album and so the album "Vol 1" was born, which was born naturally and modestly, without any ambition on the part of five great rock stars and that in the end it would become one of the best albums in the history of recent rock.
An album that is a true masterpiece and a musical delight that only the greatest are capable of achieving.
Superb songs like "Dirty Word", "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" or "Margarita" pushed the album to the top of the charts with more than three million albums sold, and get a Grammy award for best rock performance .
