    Default Album Club: Week 155 but late....very.... very late: Traveling Wilburys - Vol. I

    You know the rules!

    Traveling Wilburys - Vol. I (1988)



    The album isn't available on Spotify
    It's on Grooveshark though: Traveling Wilburys - Vol I

    I have chosen the album Vol. 1 from 1988
    This is the first studio album from the super group Traveling Wilburys.
    I have been a fan of this album since it came out when I was 10 years old, loving the different vocals along with extremely catchy tracks. If you haven't heard this album try it out, I'm sure you'll love every minute!

    For me The Travelling Wilburys score a 10/10 without a doubt. In fact, I posited the opinion that The Travelling Wilburys were probably the best 'supergroup' ever.

    Certainly this is truly a Supergroup given the personnel, it would be a bit harsh to expect any of the excellent work they have produced in their careers on this album.
    Five singers with guitars is what they are and thats what you get, all the songs are cheerful enough, a couple of good 'uns and a real gem in "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" .
    8/10

    One of the groups I still listen to and the music still has it for me. not everyday listening but the bonus is that they were having fun and not trying to be superstars....it shows in the relaxed performances. End of the line and Dirty world are probably my favorites on this album. A strong 8.5, so 9 for the vote.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
