Biography
Malibu CA, United States (1988 – 1990)
This Is Love”. The song they came up with was “Handle With Care”, which the record company immediately realized was too good to be released as a single “filler”.
They enjoyed working together so much that they decided to create an album together. Co-written by all the group members, the songwriting and recording were accomplished over a ten-day period at Dave Stewart’s house, as Dylan was due to go out on tour. Their first studio album, Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 was released on October 18, 1988. The band members were credited under various pseudonyms, all sons of a fictional Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr. The album was immediately dubbed as one of the top 100 albums of all time by Rolling Stone, and was a critical and commercial success, spawning several successful singles and eventually reaching triple-platinum sales status in the US. Additionally, it was nominated for several awards and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1989.
The death of Orbison on December 6, 1988 prevented further full collaborations, and the band continued without him.

"Poor House" isn't even in the top 15? That's sad. That's one of their best!

What else could you expect with such a lineup? George also proves he was the clever Beatle, not the quiet one.
