Egos needed to be cautiously approached in the music industry. While we all know that art is ultimately a subjective medium, musicians inherently feel some sense of competition as they jostle with their rivals for chart positions. <\/p>\n
Ultimately, it makes the idea of forming a supergroup somewhat of a poisoned chalice, especially in the case of The Traveling Wilburys<\/a>, who were essentially a who\u2019s who of music legends.\u00a0<\/p>\n As great as a group made up of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty sounds, better judgment would tell you that it would be a clashing of imperious egos. Bob Dylan is perhaps music\u2019s most uncompromising creative<\/a>, while George Harrison spent the better part of his career trapped inside the walls of a shared studio.<\/p>\n But their debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 defied all those expectations and saw the legends not showcasing the power of their celebrity but instead returning to their roots, creating an album that was brimming with the DIY essence of a rag-tag troupe of guitar players. There was an alchemy to the record that contradicted everybody\u2019s preconceptions and proved that music recorded properly can dispel all the trappings of modern fame.<\/p>\n Whether it was the rockabilly track \u2018Rattled\u2019 which was recorded amidst the pots and pans of Dave Stewart\u2019s Los Angeles kitchen<\/a>, or \u2018Dirty World\u2019 which saw the band rip out random lines from a local newspaper as lyrical inspiration, the five-piece were reuniting themselves with the fun side of music. <\/p>\n
