The
Traveling Wilburys were a British-American supergroup formed in Los
Angeles in 1988, consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne,
Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. They were a roots rock band and described as
"perhaps the biggest supergroup of all time".
Originating from an
idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's
1987 album Cloud Nine, the band formed in April 1988 after the five
members united to record a bonus track for Harrison's next European
single. When this collaboration, "Handle with Care", was deemed too good
for such a limited release, the group agreed to record a full album,
titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, released in October 1988. Following
Orbison's death in December 1988, the Wilburys continued as a quartet
and released a second album, incongruously titled Traveling Wilburys
Vol. 3, in 1990.
The release of their debut album was much
anticipated because of the stature of the participants. The band members
adopted tongue-in-cheek pseudonyms as half-brothers from the fictional
Wilbury family of travelling musicians. Vol. 1 was a critical and
commercial success, helping to revitalise Dylan's and Petty's careers.
In 1990, the album won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or
Group.
Although Harrison envisioned a series of Wilburys albums and a
film about the band, to be produced through his company HandMade, the
group became dormant after 1991 and never officially reunited, though
the individual members continued to collaborate on each other's solo
projects at various times. Harrison died in 2001, followed by Petty in
2017, leaving Dylan and Lynne as the only surviving members.
