Traveling Wilburys, A New Trip

August 15, 2020

The original Wilburys were a group of 4 unique voices from varied musical backgrounds. Largely assembled as singers and not as players

I would suggest the roles as “The Kid” in Tom Petty (under 40 at the time)

  • “The Beatle” in George Harrison “The legend” in Bob Dylan

  •  “The aged Elder Statesman” in Roy Orbison (Only about 50 at the time, but was about 40 years into his career. And only months before his death).

  • “The outlier/instigator” in Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, Conceived the idea while producing albums for Tom Petty and George Harrison)
