What famous musicians were in The Traveling Wilburys band?
raveling Wilburys were a late 1980s supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.[1] The band recorded two albums during the two years they were together. “Wilburys” was a slang term coined by Harrison and Lynne during the recording of Cloud Nine as a pet name for various types of equipment in the recording studio; Harrison, referring to errors caused by malfunctioning equipment, jokingly remarked to Lynne: “We’ll bury ’em in the mix”.[2][1] The term was used again when the entire group was together. Harrison suggested “The Trembling Wilburys” as the group’s name; instead, Lynne suggested “Traveling”, which was agreed on by the group.[1] The American spelling of “Traveling” rather than the British spelling “Travelling” was used because the band started in America and consisted of three Americans and only two Britons.
