New Loudon Wainwright III/ReReleased Traveling Wilburys
There are two reasons to rejoice in the music world this week and they both have something to do with that movie "Knocked Up" that I have been raving about.
First, I was wondering if "Knocked Up" had a soundtrack because I am a fan of Loudon Wainwright III who composed music and contributed new songs for the film. Well, today I found out even better news than that of a soundtrack. I found out that LWIII has indeed released a new album "Strange Weirdos" with music from and inspired by "Knocked Up." Doesnt get much better than that. Here's the cover:
Second, after seeing the trailer for "Knocked Up" I was happy to hear the Traveling Wilbury's favorite "End of the Line" in there, but I was saddened by my rememberance that Traveling Wilburys albums havent been available for years and I dont own one. But then what do you know? They are actually rereleasing both Traveling Wilburys albums, Volume I and Volume III, next week! For those who dont know, the Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Roy Orbison. Although they didnt go by those names. Check them out here:
(chorus 1)
Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, doing the best you can
Well its all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
(chorus 2)
Well its all right, even if they say youre wrong
Well its all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well its all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well its all right, everyday is judgement day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
Youll think of me, and wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze
(chorus 3)
Well its all right, even when push comes to shove
Well its all right, if you got someone to love
Well its all right, everythingll work out fine
Well its all right, were going to the end of the line
Dont have to be ashamed of the car I drive
Im just glad to be here, happy to be alive
It dont matter if youre by my side
Im satisfied
(chorus 4)
Well its all right, even if youre old and grey
Well its all right, you still got something to say
Well its all right, remember to live and let live
Well its all right, the best you can do is forgive
(chorus 5)
Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, even if the sun dont shine
Well its all right, were going to the end of the line
As I recall you borrowed my of Wilbury's (3 i believe) copy for around a year or so.
I found a website that had hard to find cds on it and their cds were going from 20 to 60 bucks a cd. The one i wanted was 60 bucks... big tom Petty fan but can't stomach that.
I'll have to pick up volume 1 that'd be awesome.
