 ROCKOLLECTIONS: WILBURY THEM PT.4 CONCLUSION
from WLSO.FM
August 20, 2008
The final chapter of the Wilburys that Travel. Heading right to the music, I ll open open with Inside Out- the state of the world today, or maybe just the state of my life, lol! Getting back to that question of why Vol.3 followed Vol.1, the official word was that Vol.3 was recorded by a different group of brothers. All the remaining members, Dylan, Lynne, Harrison, Petty, took DIFFERENT Wilbury names. In other words, a Vol.2 could NEVER be done, out of respect for the death of Roy Orbison. Moving on with the music, got one for my inevitable trip to the Poor House. The Traveling Wilbury s CD s were out of print for many years, mainly because George Harrison owned the rights, and died before he could renew them. I have an outtake by George. A terrific song called Maxine. I ll be quoting from a very perceptive article by a guy named Phil Reed. Then a song that may have slipped through the cracks, the Travelers contributed the title song on the children s album, the Romanian Angel Appeal Benefit Album. Engineer Ken accidentally played Roy Orbison s last posthumous hit instead. But we got it all straightened out. I ll take it all home with another outtake that is so good I can t believe it wasn t released- appropriately called I m Gone (and I am in more ways than one, lol!) Just a great rocker! I owe a great debt of thanks to my pal Mike Hennessy for his contributions to this series. So I do so publicly- Thanks Mickster! This last episode is a good one. Hope you like it. Mike
