About Del and the Wilburys, he was going to join them after Roy Orbison passed away, but he topped himself before it ever happened. That was a real shame.
I really enjoyed the first ELO album with Roy Wood, and the next couple weren't bad either. But when Jeff Lynne found the disco beat and sound, then beat it all to death, that was it with ELO for me. His solo album, Armchair Theatre, is great, though, and he certainly helped Harrison's Cloud Nine, and Orbison's Mystery Girl albums reach the audiences they did. About 10 years ago, he put out an "ELO" album called Zoom, and that one was pretty good. Harrison's slide guitar is obvious on a couple of tracks, and the songs are more laid back and in the Wilbury vein. As for The Idle Race, I actually have two tracks by them - Imposters Of Life's Magazine and Days Of The Broken Arrows - which are included on Nuggets II: Original Artifacts From The British Empire And Beyond 1964-1969. I'll have to give them a listen; it's been awhile. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Diamond Headz" group.
