The band included George (aka Nelson Wilbury), Jeff Lynne (aka Otis Wilbury), Tom Petty (aka Charlie T. Wilbury Jr.) Roy Orbison (aka Lefty wilbury) and Bob Dylan (aka Lucky Wilbury). Only two albums were released by the group: Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 in 1988 and Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3. in 1989. Volume 1 won the Grammy Award in 1990 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. The Record Industry Association of America has certified the album Triple Platinum. The play list includes: “Handle With Care”- “Dirty World”- “Rattled”- “Last Night”- “Not Alone Anymore”- “Congratulations”- “Heading For the Light” - “Margarita” - “Tweeter and the Monkey” and “End of the Line”. The album was nominated for Album of the Year in 1989 and helped revitalized the careers of Dylan, Orbison, and Petty.
Here's what Rolling Stone Magazine said about The Traveling Wilburys Vol 1 album. “This is the best record of its kind ever made. Then again it's also the only record of its kind ever made. One of the few rock superstar groups actually deserving to be called either super or a group”.
