Really love that track. The official version makes it seem like Bob was out of the studio that day, but out in Bootleg Land there's a version that features his harmonica. Oddly, it was stripped out and overdubbed for the released take.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-54818628893032520922009-09-25T10:39:42.314-04:002009-09-25T10:39:42.314-04:00There are worse things in the world than Traveling...There are worse things in the world than Traveling Wilburys Volume One including, but not limited to, The Plague, porky curtains and the Big Mac. You nailed it by making mention of a “sense of warmth, silliness and fun,” because the boys of Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr., never seem as though they’re taking any of it remotely seriously. So we shouldn’t, either. Volume One has no business being good, but is, and was a pleasant surprise when SOMEONE introduced me to it.<br /><br />And regardless of context, there’s something hilarious in “Bob trying to be Prince.” Now THAT’S funny.<br /><br />Thanks, Wardo.<br /><br />JTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-83589297069540040012009-09-25T09:26:14.832-04:002009-09-25T09:26:14.832-04:00Great, great fun music, and even greater for being...Great, great fun music, and even greater for being so unexpected at the time. I remember myself reacting as you did when I got to hear those Bob & Roy harmonies, and many other higlights on the record: pure joy. I found adorable (and still find them) "Congratulations", "Handle with care", "Heading for the light", "Not alone anymore", "End of the line", the funny Springsteen-by-numbers "Tweeter" and even Lynne's "Rattle". As a big Dylan fan, I also remember that I thought this was going to bring him back from the dead (not a joke with that Dylan & the Dead artifact), and in some weird way it did.<br /><br />Please excuse my English, I'm Spanish. Great page, congratulations.<br /><br />NachoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
