Song of the Day 5/11: The Traveling Wilburys, “Congratulations”

Bob Dylan writes so many songs he can’t use them all. Some he leaves as demos that get out and get finished by others. Some he tosses into side projects like George Harrison’s late-’80s supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys. Producer Jeff Lynne said the song was basically complete when Dylan brought it in, leaving the other members to act as one of the most over-qualified troupe of backup singers ever assembled.
