The package also includes a DVD with all the Wilbury videos and a history of the band, as well as a number of rare bonus tracks. For the record, there never was a Traveling Wilburys Vol. For the casual fan, the big draw here is obviously going to be the first Wilburys disc, as it contains all the songs that fans know best.
These include Handle With Care, one of the best, and most effortless sounding pop tunes of the eighties and maybe one of the best ever. The way Harrison s voice here blends effortlessly with those of Orbison, Petty, Lynne and even Dylan are really what make this song the true gem it is. Also here are other MTV and radio favorites of the time like End Of The Line and Last Night.
Harrison, Orbison, Petty, and Lynne are in fine voice throughout this album. But again, the biggest surprise here is Dylan. At the time this album came out, Dylan was in both a creative and commercial slump.
Although I think the fine album might have come out somewhere around this time, Dylan s other eighties output on releases like is mostly forgettable. On the Wilbury s debut, Dylan on the other hand seems to be completely energized by playing with these guys on such songs as Dirty World and especially Tweeter And The Monkey Man. Bonus tracks here include the previously unreleased Maxine and Like A Ship.
