I’m in my mid-30’s, been a huge Dylan and Tom Petty fan since I was a kid, but it somehow took a damn rewatch of Community for me to hear about the Wilbury’s. I cannot seem to get to Vol 3 because I keep relistening to Vol 1 over and over again. This album is incredible, it’s everything you could want from such a genuinely unbelievable collection of talent coming together. Just some of the most talented artists of the 20th century coming together to have fun making music. I feel so lucky to be alive in this moment right now where this actually exists.

Both albums came out before I was born, what was the reception like at the time? Were they appreciated like they should be? Tweeter and Monkey Man should firmly be in the Dylan canon. Roy Orbison next to Dylan Petty and Harrison honestly sounds like a dream. I can’t believe this album exists. I need to talk about it, I need to hear what others think about this band that feels beyond comprehension to me. We’re talking Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and Bob motherfucking Dylan. My god.
