The supergroup to end all supergroups, Traveling Wilburys is basically a rock n roll hall of fame best of in one band: Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. Together they produce some of the most wonderfully whimsical tunes I've heard in a long time. A little bit rock, a little bit folk-pop, a little bit rockabilly - but pure unadulterated joy-in-a-box-set. Listening to the Wilburys, I feel like I've been invited to an exclusive and very high-powered garage jam. The fun is infectious - I challenge anyone to listen to this without feeling a little bit better about life.
These are serious musicians not taking themselves seriously - the result is just music as it should be. Joyful little ditties, light-hearted and frivolous; perfect choice for an otherwise grey Monday morning.
