    Supposedly, Olivia and Dhani Harrison, who manage the Harrison estate, are going to get remastered versions of the two Wilbury albums released sometime this year. They've done a great job with the other Harrison material, but they really take their time and get things done properly.
    (ie. Bangladesh DVD, Brainwashed etc...)

    As for the Wilbs, I always thought Johnny Cash would have made a fine Wilbury. His work with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Rick Rubin producing is very much in the Wilbury vein. Their version of Neil Youngs "Heart Of Gold" and Soundgardens "Rusty Cage" are just amazing.
    Long live the Man In Black.

    All things must pass is an awesome record. Brainwashed is good also.

    Pick up Sir Paul's new album also. He's the greatest fucking songwriter of all time. It's too bad pricks have to downgrade him because they are all on John's nuts.


    Not to mention a stunningly scorching version of "Helter Skelter" on the Grammys at the age of 63. Amazing.

    I think instead of working though with a producer like Nigel Godrich (Radiohead) as he did recently, he should just do a stripped back acoustic project with Rick Rubin, who did this to great effect with Johhny Cash.
    I wished George Harrison would have done this, but I can still wish that McCartney do it.

    A charity single entitled "Nobody's Child", aimed at drawing attention to the orphaned children of Romania, followed in early 1990. A second album (titled Volume 3 to account for the missing chapter that was Roy Orbison's contribution) was released in October 1990. Without Orbison's voice and songwriting, however, the album met with less success.

    Volume 2 was actually Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever. :) Featured most of the Wilbury's instead of The Heartbreakers. I'm too lazy to look at the liner notes right now.

    Yeah, I know that. In fact, if you look at my Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever thread, you will see that I noted that in that thread.

    I pulled copied the majority of what I put on the opening thread for the Traveling Wilburys from Wikipedia.

    Thanks though for correcting that in this thread. :)

    The liner notes for Volumes 1 & 3 were written by Michael Palin and Eric Idle, respectively.

    Which makes the Wilburys even more awesome. :)
