Bob Dylan's Supergroup Scores A New Hit Album, Decades After Splitting Up
Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 debuts at No. 32 on the Official Album Downloads chart while also ... More returning to several other lists, as the supergroup experiences a surge. Musicians (L-R) Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, with the band 'Traveling Wilburys', performing on stage, 1987. (Photo by) Of all the supergroups in rock music history, one stands out as particularly memorable. Thanks to the two projects the band produced during the few years it was together — and the superstars who formed it — the Traveling Wilburys truly put the 'super' in supergroup. The band included George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison. Expectations were high before the act debuted, and the celebrated composers and songwriters didn't miss with either of the two albums released between 1988 and 1990. Decades after the band split, the first of those titles is enjoying a sudden surge in activity, as fans in the United Kingdom continue to purchase it and show their love. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 Debuts Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 opens at No. 32 on the Official Album Downloads chart this week. The project becomes just the second release from the supergroup that has appeared on the ranking, which looks only at the most successful titles on platforms like iTunes and Amazon within the U.K. Almost 20 Years Since Its Last Appearance It's been almost two decades since the Traveling Wilburys last showed up on the Official Album Downloads chart. Collection, which the group released long after it was no more, hit No. 2 on that tally after debuting in the summer of 2007. A Triple Chart Return for the Wilburys As Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 debuts on the downloads list, it also reenters both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, landing at Nos. 77 and 93, respectively. The full-length reaches a new high point on the Official Albums Sales ranking as it finds its way back. The full-length opened at No. 81 in February 2023 and is now back and bigger than ever. A Companion Collection Reappears Fans of the Traveling Wilburys — or followers of any of the five legendary musicians in the lineup — have also returned to the simply-titled Collection. As Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 opens on the Official Album Downloads chart, Collection reappears on the same ranking, coming in just two spaces below the new arrival at No. 34. Collection originally opened in the runner-up spot in June 2007, when it ran on that tally for a month. The set returned a decade later, and now — eight years after that — it's back inside the top 40 once again.

Margo Price Pays Homage to Bob Dylan in ‘Don't Wake Me Up' Video
In the spring of 1965, Bob Dylan stood in an alley by London's Savoy Hotel and practically invented the music video by flipping through cue cards displaying words from 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' while the song played. Fifty years later, Margo Price is paying homage to the historic clip in the video for her new single 'Don't Wake Me Up' from her upcoming album Hard Headed Woman. Price takes the 'Don't Wake Me Up' cue cards on a journey to a bowling alley parking lot, a lush field, a dive bar, a cow patch, a honky tonk bar, a horse stable, a strip club, a factory, a liquor store, a graveyard, a trailer park, a Waffle House, and a strip mall.

See Bob Dylan Play 'The Times They Are a-Changin' for First Time in 15 Years The song is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Jesse Welles. '[He] is one of my favorite new songwriters and a rare prolific artist who really has something to say,' Price says in a statement. 'I met him at Farm Aid, and I became a big fan of his lyrics as well as his voice. I'm so grateful he could join me to sing on this song.' 'Don't Wake Me Up' was inspired by the poems of Frank Stanford and started as a notebook entry that was flagged by Price's husband, Jeremy Ivey. 'We resurrected it with a melody,' Price said. 'The whole thing came together in ten minutes in one of those lightning bolt moments where you're tapped into something bigger than yourself. I wanted to remind people of all the places and ways that we are still allowed to dream even when the outside world seems like a nightmare.' Price recorded Hard Headed Woman in Nashville with longtime producer Matt Ross-Spang. Leadoff single 'Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down' was co-written by Ivey and Rodney Crowell, and posthumous credit was given to Kris Kristofferson. The album, which comes out August 29, also features a duet with Tyler Childers and a cover of the George Jones classic 'I Just Don't Give a Damn.' Price also just rolled out dates for an extensive headlining tour in the fall.

Michael C Hall Interview: Dexter's deviations from the code have humanised him
The actor continues, 'But there are characters on television now who are much more sort of just straight-up reprehensible. Dexter is doing reprehensible things, but in his own sort of outside-the-lines morality, he is trying, and I think in this new instance, really trying to be rigidly an adherent of the code. Like Bob Dylan said, 'To live outside the law, you have to be honest'. And I think Dexter has come to realise that he needs to be an honest advocate and proponent of his own code." Despite his rigid adherence to the code, Dexter, on occasion, veers away from it in the original series. Sometimes, these deviations are a matter of self-preservation, but there are also instances, such as a particularly memorable rage killing, where Dexter's primal instincts take over, resulting in him breaking his own rules. For an actor portraying such a morally complex character, these moments of deviation must be particularly challenging. Do they lead to conversations with the creators about the character's direction and consistency? Hall thoughtfully considers the implications of Dexter's occasional missteps. "There have been things that have happened over the course of the show that in hindsight, I wonder about, but I think anytime Dexter has deviated from the code, it has humanised him. I mean, we all, unless you are a completely indiscriminate sociopath, have some sort of sense of what is and is not right. And we are all very much capable of falling short of that moral compass and fall short of it every day, all day. And so to see Dexter's appreciation of and adherence to the code is now more informed and seasoned and fortified for having defied it and broken it and seen the consequences. So I think it is important for the evolution of the character to see him fail and succeed in a way that is informed by that failure." The makers of Dexter: Resurrection plan to continue the serial killer story beyond its first season. Two episodes of the first season are currently streaming on Prime Video, and the creators will release the rest of the episodes in the coming weeks. Dexter: Resurrection introduces new cast members, such as Peter Dinklage, Uma Thurman, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and Krysten Ritter as members of the mysterious cult of serial killers that Dexter infiltrates under a new identity.

Rock Legend, 75, Recalls Kicking Madonna Out of His Camp 40 Years Ago at Live Aid
Rock Legend, 75, Recalls Kicking Madonna Out of His Camp 40 Years Ago at Live Aid originally appeared on Parade. Nowadays, there's no room that can't get in. Be it the Met Gala, a sold-out Broadway show, or front row at Fashion Week, the "Material Girl" can always get access. But that wasn't the case forty years ago during Live Aid. The series of epic concerts took place on July 13, 1985, with some of music's biggest stars performing at London, Philadelphia and other locations around the world. Orchestrated by Bob Geldof, the event benefited Band Aid Charitable Foundation's efforts to combat famine in Africa. It featured now-iconic performances from Queen, , Mick Jagger with Tina Turner, and more—including a then 26-year-old Madonna. Madonna was an established star by the time Live Aid took place. She'd already gone No. 1 in the U.S. with "Like a Virgin" and "Crazy For You," and she had hits with "Lucky Star," "Into the Groove," and "Dress You Up." So it wasn't like she was nobody when backstage at the Philadelphia location. But according to Mike Campbell, famed guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, she didn't have enough clout to camp out with the legends on hand. "Backstage there was this tent with (Bob) Dylan and Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, and this tent over here was Jimmy Page and his entourage," Campell told Billboard in a feature about Live Aid's 40th anniversary. "And then Madonna had a tent in another area, and she came marching over and wanted to be in our camp, but there was no room for her, so she had to go back to her area." "But we had all cool people in our spot," he added. Graham Nash also had a bizarre Madonna encounter. He was standing backstage with emcee Jack Nicholson when Madonna and her then-husband Sean Penn came walking up. "This roadie says, 'Look the other way, look the other way.' And me and Jack said, 'What?!' (laughs) Yeah, look the other way. Sure," said Nash. That wasn't the only awkward encounter at Live Aid. Rob Halford of Judas Priest covered Joan Baez's "Diamonds & Rust" in 1977. The two of them bumped into each other at the Philadelphia show. Halford thought that Baez was going to "kick me in the [explicative] for wrecking her song," but what she really did surprised the heavy metal Legend, 75, Recalls Kicking Madonna Out of His Camp 40 Years Ago at Live Aid first appeared on Parade on Jul 11, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

John Lennon Admitted He Was ‘Scared' of This Rock Legend Despite Wanting to Work With Him
John Lennon Admitted He Was 'Scared' of This Rock Legend Despite Wanting to Work With Him originally appeared on Parade. Despite being one of the most popular musicians of all time, John Lennon still had his own insecurities when it came to other stars. In a resurfaced interview, Lennon once admitted that he was 'scared' of Elvis Presley. '[Bob] Dylan would be interesting because I think he made a great album in Blood on the Tracks, but I'm still not keen on the backings. I think I could produce him great. And Presley. I'd like to resurrect Elvis,' Lennon told Rolling Stone during a 1975 interview, when asked which musicians he'd most like to work with. 'But I'd be so scared of him I don't know whether I could do it. But I'd like to do it. Dylan, I could do, but Presley would make me nervous.' He continued, 'But Dylan or Presley, somebody up there. I know what I'd do with Presley. Make a rock 'n' roll album. Dylan doesn't need material. I'd just make him some good backings. So if you're reading this Bob, you know….' However, Lennon and Presley had previously crossed paths, and the 'Kentucky Rain' singer allegedly wasn't a fan of the Beatle due to his political stances. 'His dislike of the pacifist Beatle was born from the night I took the Fab Four to his house for their first — and last — meeting,' journalist Chris Hutchins, who introduced the two men, told the Daily Mail in 2011, per Express. 'John had annoyed Presley by making his anti-war feelings known the moment he stepped into the massive lounge and spotted the table lamps — model wagons engraved with the message: 'All the way with LBJ.'' He continued, 'Presley allied himself with the FBI director Edgar Hoover and encouraged him to have Lennon thrown out of the US.' Hutchins added that Lennon was vocal about his 'hatred' of President Lyndon B. Johnson because he 'raised the stakes in the Vietnam War.' Presley, on the other hand, was a supporter of Johnson and Lennon's opinion rubbed him the wrong way. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 John Lennon Admitted He Was 'Scared' of This Rock Legend Despite Wanting to Work With Him first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
