The Traveling Wilburys - The Traveling Wilburys (+DVD) [Digipak] (CD 2007)

Volume 1 remains one of the finest albums of all time. No egos on show, and a real feeling of enjoyment to the whole thing.
Most of the album are highlights, but Orbison on the Jeff Lynne penned "Not alone anymore", serves up his best vocals for years, and Bob Dylan on "Tweeter and the monkey man", his best track for years.
Harrisons "Handle with care", and "Heading for the light" remain as good as any other Beatles solo tracks.
It works because of the different vocal nuances of the 5 participants, along with the understated production of Harrison and Lynne.

Volume 3 is not of the same standard simply because Orbison was dead, and Harrison contributes very little.
You are therefore left with an album of Dylan and Petty with the odd Jeff Lynne contribution. While the songs are good, and the production once agin spot on, this has not got the variety of the first album, and suffers accordingly.
