Excellent article, Horace. I go back and revisit ITGWO now and then, and always find some new thing to love about it. Dark of the Sun is legit one of my favorite Tom Petty songs.

The writer offers up a remedy for all those times where Jeff has suffered the indignity of having the Wilbury's described as 4 superstars and Jeff Lynne.
< Petty had become a junior partner in the Traveling Wilburys alongside Lynne and a cast of musical unknowns – George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison >
and I love the quote from Petty "it was a different way of working. Instead of taking Polaroids, we were oil-painting"

A good and accurate article. Lynne's biggest peaks post ELO are: 1987 - 91, 1994 - 96 (Anthology), and 2013 - present (periodically touring and JL's ELO).
Into the Great Wide Open is an excellent album, though Lynne's production techniques and tendencies were getting worn out by then. Lynne did a better job of production with Petty's Highway Companion in 2006 and the approval of his work on that album was in the press at the time.
The most interesting comments were Petty's concerning Jeff working with a band - or not really wanting to. A lot of that has direct relevance to the last two ELO albums and why he hasn't had a true band album under his name since the end of the original ELO.
