Fantasy Female Travelling Wilburys.

Been listening to The Travelling Wilburys today, they were 5 male musicians who formed a group, non needed fame or fortune. There wasn’t the normal in-house fighting as none had anything to prove. They were the cream of the crop.

The original group was 5 members, it got me thinking as to a female Willburys,  Who would sit at the top table?

My group would start with….

  1. Dusty Springfield, just perfect.
  2. Karen Carpenter. Note perfect and a good drummer.
  3. Cher, definitely gets a seat at the table, also brilliant actor.
  4. Dolly Parton, a brilliant singer and songwriter.
  5. Ella Fitzgerald, just the best.

If a backing group was allowed then

  1. K.D Lang.
  2. Alison Krauss
  3. Annie Lennox

I could add many more, what would your female Wilburys be? 
No particular genre, any style of music that would become the ultimate female band of music goddesses.

    The Travelling Wilburys....I haven't listened to them for a while, must add them to my Spotify library.

    I always liked Petty, Orbison and Lynne - not so much Harrison & Dylan. Big ELO fan, never seen the actual group, but The ELO Experience are excellent - seen them many, many times - highly recommended.

    In terms of the fantasy female line up, I'd like to  nominate STEVIE NICKS.

    Edit: Just seen that had already mentioned Stevie Nicks...Great minds think alike Relaxed

    Stevie is royalty, I did get to see ELO live,  Roy Wood was a member and went on to form Wizard, I’m sure his Christmas pension song will be played soon. ( much to my annoyance)
