Female Traveling Willburys

[laurarox]

I'm excited about seeing Stevie, Sheryl and Natalie on the Tonight Show together. And I'm thinking - what an exciting thing for music to be having these great women rockers working together, sharing their talents, bonding, rocking hard and really having a great time doing what they do together. By doing so - creating something completely fresh and unique. It's a beautiful thing!

I just think it would be so great to take it further. I always thought The Traveling Wilburys was such a brilliant concept. Let's have our girls team up and really put out some new and exciting material. They could add Sarah, Joni - the possibilities are endless.

Wouldn't that be something.......
Ahhh yes the great Joni Mitchell, what about Anne and Nancy Wilson?? oooohh oohhh Chrissie Hynde.........think of a name next...LOL!!

[FiercestCalmSea]

Emmylou Harris..her voice is amazing

[highpriestess53]

kd Lang???


Ok there were five Wilbury's.... right?

so crunch time...who is going to form the all new Wilbury's

is it going to be Stevie, Sheryl, Natalie, Emmylou and kd Lang?

Stevie, Sheryl, Natalie and the Wilson Sisters? OR

Stevie, Sheryl, Natalie, Joni, and Chrissie Hynde.....

Can anyone else think of interesting combos??

[FiercestCalmSea]

Hmm...the thing is you want to have alot of different voices...Joni's is deeper now(not that she doesn't still kick @ss)..too close to Stevie's i think...Sheryl,Stevie,Emmylou,Natalie,and maybe....hmmm...Bonnie Raitt..she is pretty cool..not that i listen to her all that much..i am trying to think of who else..

[highpriestess53]

excellent choice......forgot about her....

One of my favorite albums of all time is Joni Mitchell's 'Blue' and I'm glad to see that many of you would like to see her included as one of the 'traveling ladies."

I went to the theater yesterday to see the remastered movie about the Band's last performance - 'The Last Waltz." Joni Mitchell does an incredible version of 'Coyote' and back ups Neil Young beautifully on "Helpless." Joni Mitchell ranks right up there with Stevie in my book as one of the legends in rock and roll.

btw, the Band refers to their work/play room as "Shangri-La."

I think this would be a great idea.. I love it!! Now if it would really happen.. it would be too cool!

Well I like the way....

Stevie & Sheryl sound together (Sorcerer).

Stevie & Natalie sound together (TFFT).

Stevie and Sarah sound together (Love Is).

Sheryl and Sarah sound together (The Difficult Kind).

So I would say definitely Stevie, Sheryl, Sarah and Natalie.
And guess I would have to throw in Joni as number 5, because you just can't go freakin wrong with Joni.

*Although I love the Bonnie Raitt idea too!

My Travelling Girlburys.....

1) Stevie Nicks {= Tom Petty}

2) Ann and Nancy Wilson (I'm counting them as one ) {= George Harrison}

3) Joni Mitchell {= Bob Dylan}

4) Karen Peris from the Innocence Mission {= Roy Orbison}

5) Maria McKee {= Jeff Lynne}


Now I KNOW...... k.d. lang would be a better choice for the Roy Orbison slot (the voice) and Sheryl Crow would be a better choice for the Jeff Lynne slot (producer/multi-instrumentalist), but Karen and Maria are WAY betters songwriters and both would complement Stevie/Joni very well.

[WelshWitchPMD]

How about adding Linda Ronstadt to the mix. That would be interesting too.

[celestenadia]

1) Stevie
2) Sheryl
3) Linda
4) Bonnie Raitt
5) AND bring Christine out of "retirement"!

[laurarox]

I never thought of Christine. That could be interesting. But I think we have more of a country/folk/rock thing going here with the other girls.

Let me think.........

Natalie Merchant?
(great voice/great writer)

Hey?!?!?
Carol King!!!!!!

Cuz we need at least 2 veterans.

[golddustchic]

I'd say...

Stevie, Sheryl, Ann Wilson, Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris.

This would be a great Divas Live!!
