DOING THE BEST YOU CAN / SOMEONE TO LOVE / HAPPY TO BE ALIVE / IT'S ALL RIGHT / LIVE AND LET LIVE

















This song, a collaboration by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne in 1988, came along just exactly when I needed to hear it. I know I wasn't alone in that experience.

Watch for the rocking chair at the end of the video (3:08), rocking with nothing in it except a guitar.

Correction: I changed the date above from 1990 to 1988. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was released on October 18, 1988. I had forgotten that there were two Traveling Wilburys cassettes. It was Vol. 3, dedicated to Lefty Wilbury aka Roy Orbison, that was released in 1990.

    Have always loved this song. What fun that Traveling Wilburys collaboration. And what a great, unique voice Roy Orbison had.

    I'd forgotten this song, but I think I like the Traveling Wilburys even better than any of the Beatle's albums.

    I'll have to drag these albums out of storage!
