The news of Roy Orbison's death hits the rest of the Wilburys hard. After considering whether to continue at all, the quartet decides to record another album. The sessions take place from April to July 1990, Harrison and Lynne take over the production (just like on the debut). Why is the second release called Vol. 3? According to Jeff Lynne, this is an idea of Harrison's. "Let's confuse the bastards!" the ex-Beatle is said to have said. The renaming of the band members causes further confusion: Harrison is now called Spike Wilbury, Dylan gives himself the first name Boo, Petty becomes Muddy Wilbury and Lynne becomes Clayton Wilbury. Uh, yes... Musically, however, there is also a lot going on at number two. The news of Orbison's death hits the rest of the Wilburys hard.
