The story of how the Wilburys were formed is amazing. Jeff Lynn was the executive producer on Harrisons last album. The two had talked about forming a supergroup. Harrison chose Bob Dylan . Lynn chose Roy Orbinson. Harrison visited Tom Petty's home and in a senior moment, left his guitar behind. When he went to retrieve it, he invited Petty to his home. A box in Harrisons garage said "handle with care" . Harrison and Petty wrote the song and music history happened.
