anonymous/uncreditedStrumming To The Wilbury's  
Released:  2007
CD: no label or catalog number; UPC# 786984016724  (US) [38:14]
Dylan content: 3/11
An acoustic tribute to The Traveling Wilburys.
All vocals are by the same uncredited solo male singer.  No performer, producer, or label info is provided with the CD.
Although all T.W. songs were credited to the group,  Dylan is believed to be the major contributor of these three tracks.
I do not consider the other T.W. songs on this CD to be “Dylan covers.”

Congratulations  •  Tweeter and The Monkey Man  •  Dirty World

Cool Dry Place, End Of The Line, The Devil's Been Busy, Handle With Care, Heading For The Light, Last Night, Rattled, Not Alone Any More
