The Traveling Wilburys were formed in 1988 when five rock legends joined forces for an informal recording session inside a cluttered garage in Los Angeles. The five seasoned musicians – Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison – had gathered to write and record what was intended as a throwaway B-side track.
After Harrison submitted the completed song to his record company, he was told that it was too good to be hidden away on the flip side of a European single. Instead, he was instructed to regroup with his fellow musicians and to record an entire album of songs. But for the newly formed supergroup, there was no roadmap, no detailed plan, no record company involvement and no expectation of success.
Nicknamed the Billion Dollar Quintet, the five musical legends could all speak of their own individual achievements, their own musical triumphs, as well as their own extended periods of fan indifference. Some of the members had already establishment close knit relationships, while others barely knew each other.
This book chronicles how the Traveling Wilburys were formed, what went into the making of their two hit albums and why they never toured. The book also examines how the careers and personal lives of these five men overlapped as well as how they influenced one another. Lastly, this book looks at the group’s musical legacy.

The Traveling Wilburys The Biography Nick Thomas 9780980056174 Books Reviews
- Good overview of the Traveling Wilburys. The book delves into how the five members met, their friendships and their musical collaborations. The book is a little on the short side but the group was in existence for only two years. A good buy! In fact I've bought the paperback for a good friend who is a huge fan.
- Easy read and very interesting. Doesn't delve too deeply in any of their lives but you do get an all around perspective. Dylan is definitely a little odd from reading this book but most people already know that. I was just surprised at how after the time together, he could just distance himself when you really expected him to be there in the time of need. Passed it on to my best friend who also loves the Wilburys.
- An excellent account of the forming of the group,the recording sessions and what each member had going on in their lives away from the pack. An enjoyable read and well written. No major surprises but good detailing of the time.
- Has almost all the info I needed to know about this marvelous band of famous and smart musicians! I hope the author decides to write another one, with stories of the songs and who wrote them and why. There will never be another band this great.
- good info
- Very good book.
- good book
- A very short history of a very short band that needs better editing. This book was not very satisfying to me.
