First released: 1988
Just for fun, George rounded up Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison to contribute to a b-side for his third final single from "Cloud Nine" called "This is Love". This was the resulting track, but it turned out so good that George and friends decided it shouldn’t be tossed onto a random b-side but rather be an a-side for a future album release. They christened themselves The Traveling Wilburys and ended up recorded 2½ albums. This track was also on "The Traveling Wilburys, Volume 1". The lyrics are more depressing than "When We Was Fab" about how difficult it is to be George all of these years. It’s a great tune.
