The birth of the Traveling Wilburys was a happy accident. Asked to record a “B” side for the next single from his album “Cloud Nine”, George Harrison decided to ask Jeff Lynde, his producer, where he could knock off a song in a hurry. Jeff called Bob Dylan and he said to come over to his home studio the next day. George grabbed Roy Orbison, who Lynde was also producing at the time, and went over to Dylan’s home. After the song was presented to Harrison’s label, they said it was too good a song to put out as a “B” side of the single. Harrison, Orbison, Lynde and Dylan invited Tom Petty to join the fun and formed the Traveling Wilburys.
