The Traveling Wilburys on making Vol 3 without Roy Orbison (1990) chords
Start Jamming...
Two years ago there was a new group called the Traveling Wilburys.
The group may have been new, but the folks in it were very familiar.
George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison.
Well, today the group is minus the talents of Orbison, but they're still making music.
Their latest is Volume 3.
And as today's music correspondent, Rona Elliott, tells us, they're still making good music.
Yep, they are, Deb.
The Wilburys were diminished by the death of Roy Orbison, but they've gone ahead and put out a new album.
As their first album demonstrated, these guys are all close friends who have put their individual stardom aside to just have some fun together in the recording studio.
And that's what comes through in their music.
[C] Everybody's got somebody [G] to lean on.
And that's just what this quartet of superstars continues to give one another.
[D] That and the musical versatility of having four rhythm guitars and absolutely no computerized sound.
This no [G] preservatives added Wilburys album will take you [F#] back to the early [G] roots of rock and roll.
[C] Oh, the sweet smell of [Em] success.
[C] And loony requests.
When you're being Wilburys, is [F#] it different than being Tom, Jeff and George in your [C#] respective solo work and Bob, who's not here?
Much different, yeah.
What's the difference?
No responsibility [D#] or less responsibility.
And for at least four [G] times, I think it's even more [E] than four times the amount of energy and input.
You know, you [G#] don't have to like [C#] labor over anything, because if you get stuck, if any of us get stuck, [A] there's all the rest of us to come up with an idea.
And you [F#] never know what each piece of music, [F] you don't really know what it's going to be until it's actually [F#] forming in front of you.
And [E] that's a lot of the excitement of it for [G] me.
[A] [C]
[A] Smile, baby.
She can drive a truck.
She can drive a train.
[Am] Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.
[A] She can't even drive a merocrane.
[F] Why [D] doesn't Bob ever come [B] to these interviews?
He's lucky.
He's allergic to power.
[B] He's lucky Wilbury.
[G] Yeah, right.
He's lucky.
He gets not to do the interviews.
[A#] Don't it make you want to just shout?
[D#] Something about volume [F] one really struck a nerve with people.
What do you think [B] was the nerve that was struck?
I think people got [Em] stuck in a concept of what the record [B] business is.
Whereas with the Wilburys, it was just something [G] that was very flippant.
And I think that come across, [F#] just the playfulness of it.
[G] We don't really give a damn.
Lift your other foot up.
Pour on your ass.
[C] Get back [G] up.
Put your teeth in the glass.
[D] Ain't never been nothing quite like [G] this.
It's a magical thing called the Wilbury Twist.
[F] Is that the Wilbury Twist or?
Both of them.
[C]
[G] [G] Whoever dreamt in rock and roll when [C#] you mostly sing about raging teenage hormones,
[F] that we would be singing about putting your teeth in the [Bm] glass.
Just a lot of people who started out in the 50s or the 60s have just grown older.
It was just a coincidence.
[F#m] We happen to be young in the [D] 60s.
But [G] it's the only thing we do really.
But as [D] lighthearted as they [C] seem now,
the guys still [G] feel the loss of their best [C] pal and fellow Wilbury, Roy [G] Orbison.
Orbison died in December [C] 1988,
just as their first album climbed [D] to the top of the charts.
[G] I'm so tired of [C] being lonely.
I still have some love [D] to give.
Let's [G] talk about Roy for a minute.
[B] [C] When Roy [G] died, did you guys think about how you wanted to proceed with the band?
We [B] never considered Roy [C#] replaceable.
[C] We never looked [C#] for a replacement.
[A#] When it came to the [F] time when [F#] somebody said, let's do another one,
[E] Roy had been missing for two years.
So we just did it without him.
And it just [D] felt natural to go ahead with [E] the four of us.
[F#m]
[G] [A]
[Am]
[C] [D]
[Am]
[F]
What are the differences, [F#] in your opinion,
between this and the first record in terms of the tone and the quality?
Where were you aiming with [Em] it?
It's like the [N] most basic rock and roll sound.
[B] Yeah, and getting away from technology and stuff.
So everything that was used was just microphones and guitars and pianos,
which was a lot of fun, you know,
because there's only so much you can do with them.
And you can't put any gadgets on, because we made the rules.
This album sounded like it was a bunch of guys who got down,
had a blast, were carousing, were drinking buddies.
Is that what this album really is all about?
Drinking das Eckes, [F#] buddies.
Were you carousing as much as it sounds like you were?
We had fun.
We worked [B] hard.
I mean, we do tend to work very hard, but it's [F] fun work.
You know, we just all get guitars [C] and we say, what about this?
And then [A#] we end up with [Bm] a tune, basically.
Didn't you think that the chemistry was really there,
that the second you sat down together, [D#] all this weirdness would erupt again?
Oh, we helped him.
Turn the lights [G] down low.
[C] You'll never know [G] when your friends have gone.
[D] It could be a year before you [G] meant
Everybody's trying to do the Wilbury Twist.
