Was weitere Projekte nach dem One-Off- Konzert anbelangt, ist das durchaus denkbar, bloss diese Quelle Mediamass ist nicht vertrauenswürdig, da geht es um Mediensatire.
Tom Petty und auch Rick Rubin haben immer grosse Stücke auf Jeff Lynne gehalten, das ist ja das Ironische, dass diese Aussagen so oft von der Musikpresse nicht beachtet wurden. Ich habe hier zufällig einen Ausdruck vom soundandvisionmag.com vom Januar 2013. Allein darin sagt Petty:
zuletzt geändert von pelo_ponnesJeff Lynne is one of the great record producers, period. … He thought me quite a lot during the making of Full Moon Fever. He showed me lots of things I had never thought about before with chord patterns and melodies; he’s really a genius with melody. … Jeff taught me to get up there and sing on the mike completely dry. It brought out a certain sound that was kind of different for the time. Rick Rubin told me that when he heard Full Moon Fever, he quit putting effects on vocals. …When you hear people discussing the Wilburys, you sometimes don’t even hear him being talked about, but there really wouldn’t be a Wilburys without him. He was essential to the group. He was the glue.
