I'd say I'm a fan of all the members except I never really followed Jeff Lynne. Obviously a talented guy.
Tom Petty plays bass on that first album which is really the super one (Roy was not around for the second). Jim Keltner played drums on all their stuff and was pretty much a Wilbury himself - great session drummer.
Sometimes, I'm not sure how I feel about Jeff Lynne as a producer. With the Wilburys and with Petty's awesome Full Moon Fever, I feel like he always walks the line between good production and overproduction.
Don't know if you're a Get Off My Lawn type but a few years ago Jenny Lewis covered Handle Me with Care with some help from M.Ward, Connor Oberst, and Ben Gibbard. They do it justice.

All orchestrated by perhaps the kindest and most gentlemanly rock star in history.
Well said.
