In his 2004 memoir Chronicles: Volume One, Dylan raved about the unique qualities of Orbison's legendary voice.
“He sang like a professional criminal," Dylan continued. "Typically, he’d start out in some low, barely audible range, stay there a while and then astonishingly slip into histrionics. His voice could jar a corpse, always leave you muttering to yourself something like, 'Man, I don’t believe it.' His songs had songs within songs. They shifted from major to minor key without any logic.”
How The Traveling Wilburys began
Formed in 1988, The Traveling Wilburys was born after a fateful conversation between Lynne and Harrison. As the former explained in an interview with Hot Press, he'd "been working with George for a couple of months, and he said, 'D'you know what? Me and you should have a group.'"
Lynne, who also worked with Orbison on his album Mystery Girl, went on to praise the late singer as having the "greatest voice ever."
"Roy was thrilled out of his mind, and then there was a phone call early in the morning. 'Mr. Orbison is dead.' They hung up before I could get a chance to find out more, and I thought it was bulls—t, you know. It was like six in the morning that call came so I stayed awake listening to the radio, and sure enough they announced Roy Orbison had died in Tennessee. That was the saddest thing I can remember, but what a wonderful time we had when we recorded together. He was such a lovely guy."
