Traveling Wilburys - Volume 4½ (1992)

 

1. Poor Little Girl - George Harrison
2. Out in the Cold - Tom Petty
3. Don't Let Go - Jeff Lynne
4. A Love So Beautiful - Roy Orbison
5. Shooting Star - Bob Dylan
6. Cockamamie Business - George Harrison
7. Zombie Zoo - Tom Petty
8. What Would It Take? - Jeff Lynne
9. The Only One - Roy Orbison
10. 2 × 2 - Bob Dylan

When I was making the last two Traveling Wilburys albums, I had to listen to 7 albums by 6 lead singers! And that's a lot of material so obviously there were a lot of good tracks I had to cut out. But honestly, I think I'd be ok with not using the Del Shannon album. I was alright with using it for the last one, but he was never an official member and I just found his falsetto vocals to be the most annoying. Also I felt like since George didn't release an album around this time I haven't been including as many of his songs, which kind of sucks cause the project was his whole idea. I think Bob was the only one still releasing solo music around this time so let's just apply Joy Division's rules. They broke up in 1991 so we won't use any solo material that's past that. The cover came from a bootleg but I'd like to think George would've called it that as a joke similar to Volume 3 being the second album. George's songs come from a compilation album he had.
