    Part 2 of this four part Laptop Sessions extravaganza comes to you with a song from the Traveling Wilburys, one of my favorite bands of all time.

    I grew up listening to their music and find myself going back to their two albums over and over again.

    This song is a great one to do acoustically, and like the last one, is sung by Bob Dylan. Watch for the cameo harmonica appearance by Chris Moore in this video!

    I’ll be doing PLENTY more Wilburys songs on these sessions, so stay tuned! Now, onto part 3!

  • “End of the Line” (Travelling Wilburys Acoustic Cover) – The Laptop Sessions

    Sunday, October 26th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    Good evening and welcome to Sunday’s edition of The Laptop Sessions.  Tonight is my first cover from this band, but 5th for the site.

    The Travelling Wilburys were advertised to me as an “all star band” by Jim, and boy they sure are.  There aren’t many songs by them (two albums worth) but the ones that I have heard are just awesome.  This one included, and I had no idea this song was by them until I heard it again.

    The song is “End of the Line” from their first album.  Every member except Bob Dylan is featured on lead vocals at some point in the song.

    You’ll notice some voice inflection at the seperate parts where each singer is singing the original song.

    I hope you stay tuned for even more from laptopsessions.com!  Come back tomorrow for Jim’s next cover.

  • “Congratulations” (The Traveling Wilburys Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Saturday, May 24th, 2008

    By Jim Fusco: Well, it’s my day again already, huh? :-)

     

    Seems we’ve bee doing so much promotion between the friend requests, SEO work, and such that it really is getting harder and harder to keep on the “every third day” schedule. And now, we have a Members-Only section on the blog, which will have exclusive, not-on-YouTube, videos. So, that’s even more to do!

     

    I’m hoping with the long weekend that I can record a bunch of Sessions and then focus on promoting what we already have for awhile.

     

    Now, getting on to today’s Laptop Session:

     

    “Congratulations” is a Traveling Wilburys song that my brother Mike and I would always kinda make fun of when we were younger. I mean, the album came out when I was four and my family loved it, so we always listened to it. Plus, when you’re a little kid, Bob Dylan’s incredibly raspy voice is pretty funny.

     

    But, years later, after my 1000th listen, I began to realize that this really is a good song. I think the whole band contributed and the actual tune of the song (stripped of Dylan’s raspiness or not) is great.

     

    The song is sad and emotional, which is probably why they chose Dylan to sing it in the first place, but I thought I would give it a more “pure” treatment.

     

    This was done in one take, so you know I was dead-on. Jeff, Chris, and I are doing a lot more of that lately- partially because of time constraints, but partially because we’re just getting so good at doing this. My skills have been increasing steadily with my view count and subscriber numbers, which are nearing 200 now!

     

    I will meet my goal of 55,000 views by the end of the month and now the only question is: how many more will I get? The Laptop Sessions site is poised for a BOOM in popularity, so stay tuned, as you may have already stumbled upon the Next Big Thing in music!

  • “Last Night” (Traveling Wilburys Acoustic Rock Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions

    Saturday, January 5th, 2008

    By Chris Moore:

    I recorded this one “last night”!

    Okay, too cheesy?

    Seriously, this is a simple but fun one from the Traveling Wilburys. A little Tom Petty-esque lead and a special guest tribute to Roy Orbison…

Traveling Wilburys Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 Downloads

Arguably one of the greatest supergroups in rock music history, the Traveling Wilburys was a recording group composed of former Beatle George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. These five songwriters co-wrote and released two albums, each of which was a commercial success. This acoustic guitar music group began when Harrison had a single titled “Handle With Care.” One by one, the other future Wilburys came together – Lynne to produce, Petty to hang out, Orbison by request of the boys, and Dylan to provide a studio. Once they had recorded this track, they couldn’t leave it at one mere bit of new rock music. The record label agreed – they each knew how to write a song, they each had been recording for years; this could be fun… It was, and the record stands as a testament to the amazing things that can be produced by a series of circumstances. Some of the best cover songs of the Laptop Sessions, particularly judging by the number of hits from the YouTube videos, are the Traveling Wilburys numbers.
