Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Featuring classics like 'Handle With Care,' 'End Of The Line,' and 'Heading For The Light,' super-group Traveling Wilbury's Collection highlights all of the band's music and previously unreleased bonus tracks through this re-mastered double album. The DVD features behind the scenes footage of the band writing and recording, along with their 5 video clips.

Amazon.com:
The Traveling Wilburys were one of the few supergroups that lived up to their promise, because they didn't try to. Things started inauspiciously when George Harrison, needing a B-side for a 1988 single, called in friends Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison for assistance. Two albums later--the second without Orbison, who had passed away shortly after the first was released--the loose-knit collective had recorded material that was as durable, and occasionally eclipsed, the participants' legendary solo work. The Wilburys succeeded due to a genial and contagious camaraderie that permeates both discs. What could have been a train wreck of ego clashes instead resulted in a frothy meeting of the minds. These guys are having a blast, trading lead vocals and harmonies on energetic folk-rock, quirky rockabilly, and Beatlesque pop that shimmers with the respect and esteem the members clearly hold for each other. Harrison and Lynne's rather slick production polishes off edges that might better have been left unvarnished, but there's no denying the loosey-goosey craftsmanship at work in tunes such as 'Handle with Care,' 'End of the Line,' and a striking Orbison performance on 'Not Alone Anymore' that ranks with any of his finest. Both albums were million-sellers, but oddly went out of print for about a decade until Rhino resurrected them, adding two rare tracks per disc as well as a DVD of music videos and a band documentary. The resulting package is a comprehensive overview of a once--well, twice--in-a-lifetime project that, especially after Harrison's passing, will never be repeated. --Hal Horowitz

- Traveling Wilburys Collection
Amazing collection of music at a great price. All the songs you'd want and then some! The addition of the dvd is an added bonus.

- A Joyful Experience
Just received this three disc set and immediately watched "The Making Of" DVD. I loved watching these power-house performers have fun and create such joyful music. End Of The Line is so much fun to watch and listen to. It's a great way to start your day. Tweeter And The Monkey Man is Dylan to the core ... witty, puzzling and thought provoking, fun. Handle With Care seems so happy and yet when really listening to the lyrics it's a bit heartbreaking too. There's not a bad song in the bunch. It looks like they had a great time making the album and I had a great time listening and watching. The moon and stars must have aligned themselves just right to get these guys in the same place at the same time with a common goal ... to have fun and make good music. Gonna run outside and see if the sky is yella! Thanks guys!

- Tweeter and the Baby Boomers
For an assemblage of big-name stars, the Traveling Wilburys is about as good as it gets. Lynne, Dylan, Harrison, Orbison, and Petty team up and perform together just as well as they do when on their own with their own bands. Usually super groups come across as contrived and shoe-horned to fit a market niche, but these guys combine in a way that, had Roy Orbison lived another 5 years or more, they might have achieved enough fame as a group to rival the fame they achieved on their own, or, in Harrison's case, as a lesser member of the Beatles. Who knows? The only drawback I can find is that their musical style is a bit dated, so maybe today's listeners won't be very impressed, but for nostalgic "boomers" on a fixed income you can't beat the 2 CD/1 DVD set that's being offered for sale. Highly recommended.
