Traveling Wilburys – Volume Three
In the absence of the late Roy Orbison, the remaining Wilburys – Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne – soldiered onward to create a memorable second album, paradoxically titled Volume Three. While replacement for Orbison were bandied about by speculating fans and the music press, ranging from Carl Perkins to Del Shannon, the four surviving Wilburys didn’t fill the empty slot.
Volume Three opens with the hard-rocking “She’s My Baby”, with guest star Gary Wright jamming along on this number which swings wide of the group’s acoustic-only ambitions from their first album. Lynne, Harrison, Dylan and Petty each take their turn at the lead vocal, and one can definitely hear Lynne’s hand in the somewhat more polished background harmonies.
Other highlights include Lynne’s piano-heavy boogie “New Blue Moon”, Petty’s shuffling, lyric-heavy rocker “Cool Dry Place”, “Inside Out”, and the group’s tribute to Orbison, You Took My Breath Away. But some 
of the tracks ramble just a little bit and dig a style rut early on.
Both volumes of the Traveling Wilburys’ musical adventures are due to be re-released soon by Warner Bros. in connection with Harrison’s Dark Horse label.
