THE TRAVELING WILBURYS the new, signed limited edition book from Genesis Publications is now available to pre-order. Chronicling the adventures of Nelson, Otis, Lucky, Lefty and Charlie, The Wilburys tell their tale in their own words – with occasional help from drummer Jim Keltner.
Jeff Lynne (from his Foreword): George said to me, ‘We should have a group, me and you.’ I said, ‘Great, who would we have in it?’ He said, ‘Well, I’ll have Bob Dylan.’ I said, ‘Can we have Roy Orbison?’ We thought Tom Petty would be a great member of the group too; luckily so did Tom.
Genesis are the creators of classic books such as I ME MINE and CONCERT FOR GEORGE and THE TRAVELING WILBURYS has been many years in the making. The result is an inside look at how five great singers, songwriters and musicians joined together in a series of kitchens and living rooms to write two albums of unforgettable songs.
