Howdy,
Alot of the older members probably know about the Wilbury's, but I found out about them a week or two ago and thought I'd share the knowledge.
My friend told me about them so I decided to read a little more on Wiki. On reading the first line it should instantly interest you. (Maybe not Laddey, but there's no helping him!)
The Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. During the short time they were together they recorded two albums.
So now that I have your attention, here's some more on how they came together.
Initially starting at a meal between Roy Orbison, George Harrison, and Jeff Lynne, they got together at Bob Dylan's studio at Santa Monica, California to record an additional track as a B-side for the single release of Harrison's "This Is Love". Tom Petty's involvement was by chance as Harrison had left his guitar at Petty's house. The song they came up with was "Handle with Care". However, the record company immediately realized it was too good to be released as a "single filler".
They enjoyed working together so much that they decided to create an album together. Written by all its members, the album was recorded over a ten-day period in May 1988 because Dylan was due to go on tour. Released on October 18, 1988 (under various pseudonyms as half-brothers, supposed sons of Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr.), the album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was in 1989 ranked #70 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s. It was later nominated for a Grammy under the category Album of the Year. The death of band member Roy Orbison (on December 6, 1988) prevented further full collaborations; however, the band continued without him. The band even finished the video for "End of the Line". In the scene where the verse is sung by Orbison, the viewer is shown Orbison's guitar in a rocking chair followed by a photo of the late artist.
Here's one of their songs,
