[84], Inspired by the Traveling Wilburys' success and particularly its benefit to Petty and Orbison as artists, Lenny Waronker encouraged American guitarist Ry Cooder to form the band Little Village and record for Warner Bros.[85] The group – comprising Cooder, Keltner, John Hiatt and Nick Lowe – released a self-titled album in 1992. [39], The five band members sat in a circle playing acoustic guitars in Stewart's kitchen;[40] once each song's basic track had been written and recorded there (with accompaniment from a drum machine),[41] the group recorded their vocals in another room, usually after dinner each night.

Though comprised of some of the biggest names in modern music, the band was much more nonchalant than that. In the Rolling Stone Press book The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll, the Traveling Wilburys are described as "the ultimate supergroup", with a line-up that represented four eras of rock music history and included "three indisputable gods" in Dylan, Harrison and Orbison. [30][31] In Petty's recollection, Harrison and Lynne then decided to realise their idea of forming a Wilburys band, and first invited him to join before phoning Dylan, who also agreed to join. [15] There, Harrison struck up a musical rapport with Petty based on their shared love of 1950s rock 'n' roll,[16] and Lynne began collaborating with Petty on what became the latter's debut solo album, Full Moon Fever, and writing songs with Orbison, Lynne's longtime musical hero,[17] for Orbison's comeback album, Mystery Girl.

The band recorded two albums, the first in 1988 and the second in 1990, though Orbison died before the second was recorded. [73] Petty described the album as "a little more rough and ready, a bit more raucous" than Vol. [24][34] The album was recorded primarily over a ten-day period in May 1988,[35] to allow for Dylan's limited availability as he prepared for the start of what became known as his Never Ending Tour[36][37] and for Orbison's tour schedule. I worked so hard to make sure that all the guys who were in that band, and consequently on record and film, that their friendship wasn't abused. None of this would've happened without him.

As the Wilburys began to go further and further in their search for musical inspiration they found themselves the object of interest among many less developed species — nightclub owners, tour operators and recording executives. It was George's band – it was always George's band and it was a dream he had for a long time. . Lucky, Lefty, Nelson, Otis and Charlie T, Jr – together, they were known as The Traveling Wilburys, but who was really behind the curly hair and shades? Although Harrison had long planned to start such a band, the project came about through happenstance. Lenny and I stumbled over each others’ words, asking, “Can’t we somehow turn this into an album?” (I also had a suspicion that perhaps George had been hungering for another band experience.). They were all just right there. The project's work received much anticipation given the diverse nature of the singer-songwriters. [77] The album's liner notes were written by Eric Idle, another Python member, who again adopted a pseudonym. [59] As Harrison had intended, the album defied contemporary musical trends such as hip hop, acid house and synthesised pop; author Alan Clayson likens its release to "a Viking longship docking in a hovercraft terminal". [89] In his book Lonnie Donegan and the Birth of British Rock & Roll, Patrick Humphries describes the Wilburys as "a makeshift quintet whose roots were firmly and joyously planted in low-key, low-tech skiffle music".

[24][nb 4] In the album credits, the "Wilburys" joke was extended further, with the band members listed under various pseudonyms and pretending to be half-brothers – sons of a fictional Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr.[56][57] During promotion for the album, Orbison played along with the mock history, saying: "Some people say Daddy was a cad and a bounder, but I remember him as a Baptist minister. [67] By contrast, according to author Clinton Heylin, Dylan appeared to give the band little attention as he focused on re-establishing himself as a live performer before recording his 1989 album Oh Mercy. The collection sold 500,000 copies worldwide during the first three weeks and remained in the UK top 5 for seven weeks after its release. Roy Orbison was somebody they all idolized. [42] Author Simon Leng recognises the venture as primarily a channel through which Harrison and Dylan could escape the restrictions of their serious media images, but also, in its guise as a "phantom band", a development by Harrison of the Rutles' satirical approach to the Beatles' legacy, in this case by "de-mythologizing" rock history.

[82] AllMusic managing editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine has similarly written: "It's impossible to picture a supergroup with a stronger pedigree than that (all that's missing is a Rolling Stone), but in another sense it's hard to call the Wilburys a true supergroup, since they arrived nearly two decades after the all-star craze of the '70s peaked, and they never had the self-important air of nearly all the other supergroups.
