ELO & Traveling Wilburys
Johnnie and journalist David Hepworth pay tribute to the genius and talent of Jeff Lynne on ELO's A New World Record from 1976 and with his famous friends in The Traveling Wilburys.
This week Johnnie and David Hepworth pay tribute to the huge composing, playing and production talents of Jeff Lynne. With the help of archive Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interviews and key tracks they tell the story of his 1976 album A New World Record, which crucially gave him hit singles and kudos on both sides of the Atlantic for the first time. He talks about his earlier work with Roy Wood, his last minute lyric writing process and the thinking behind putting orchestral instruments into an electric pop music band for the first time.
They also enjoy the extraordinary get together in Bob Dylan's garage for a B side, that became 1988's Traveling Wilburys Vol 1. Each member was a huge fan of another and they all adored the modest, but blessed Roy Orbison. As David points out even though George Harrison was desperate to be back in a group, who would pass up the chance to record with a Beatle and Bob Dylan.
