Джефф поучаствовал в альбоме Регины Спектор 'Far'.
о Регине Спектор: Родилась в 1980 году Москве. В 1989 году, во время Перестройки, вместе со своей семьей переехала в Нью-Йорк и поселилась в Бронксе. Получила классическое музыкальное образование по классу фортепиано, закончила консерваторию в штате Нью-Йорк при Purchase College, по классу композиции. Закончила еврейскую религиозную школу. Автор текстов и музыки, Регина Спектор исполняет свои песни, аккомпанируя себе на фортепиано или гитаре. Трудно определить жанр, стиль и направление творчества Регины Спектор: его называют anti-folk, но в нем есть что-то и от панка, и от инди-рока, и от классической музыки (Регина получила классическое музыкальное образование сначала в России, а затем в Нью-Йорке, у профессора Сони Варгас). Ее сравнивают с Бьорк, с Тори Амос, с Ван Моррисоном. Но она все же совершенно оригинальна. Лирика Регины нарочито интеллигентна, с многочисленными культурными реминисценциями — Эдип, Самсон, Эзра Паунд, Пастернак, а музыка экономна и изящна, как классические японские стихи. Самое главное - то, как она умеет играть голосом.

В книжном обзоре газеты Еxpress опубликована статья о книге The Traveling Wilburys.В том числе и пересказ интервью с Джеффом.Очень интересная статья,подтверждающая все данные о новых работах Линна.
EVERY DAY WAS LIKE WOW FOR JEFF LYNNE
HE was a member of the Electric Light Orchestra and the Move; he produced records for the Beatles, Beach Boy Brian Wilson and Tom Jones and yet, for Jeff Lynne, the highlight of his four-decade career (to date) is the Traveling Wilburys, the Eighties’ supergroup he formed in 1988 with his heroes and friends George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.
Even now, 20 years after they released their last album, Lynne speaks of the band with a kind of disbelieving reverence.
“The Wilburys was such a wonderful band, such a marvellous thing to be part of. They were the best people I could ever wish to work with. Every day was like, ‘Wow!’ We were good pals and it was fun from day one.”
Lynne, 62, barely does any interviews (the most recent in our archives dates from 2001) but he’s breaking his silence to publicise a limited edition, glossy new book containing previously unseen photographs from the surviving band members’ private collections and compiled by Olivia Harrison, widow of George.“It’s a dead posh book,” he laughs in a warm Birmingham accent undiluted by 17 years of living in LA.
He was always a passionate Beatles fan but the respect turned out to be mutual. John Lennon called ELO his favourite band and once said that if the Beatles had stayed together, they’d have sounded like them.
Then George Harrison asked Lynne to produce his 1987 solo album Cloud Nine. Their Every day was like, working relationship quickly developed into a firm friendship that lasted until Harrison’s death in 2001. “We used to hang out all the time, even when we weren’t making music,” recalls Lynne. “George was a great friend of mine.”
They had only been working together for two months when Harrison suggested they form their own group. “I said, ‘Fantastic!’. He said, ‘We’ll have Bob Dylan in it’, and I said, ‘What about Roy Orbison?’.”
As Lynne had worked with Petty on the Full Moon Fever sessions, he was easily able to invite him to join the band. Then, one night, the pair joined George Harrison on a drive to Orange County to see Roy Orbison perform. Lynne recalls: “We went into his dressing room and George said, ‘Roy, do you want to be in our group?’ And Roy went, ‘Let me think about it for a minute. Yes!’.”
On their first day as a band, the Wilburys congregated at the studio Bob Dylan had built in his garage and Harrison presented them with a half-written song that would eventually become Handle With Care. The band finished the music together, had dinner, wrote some lyrics, recorded vocals then moved on to George Harrison’s to mix the track. It seems remarkable that there was never a battle of egos or at least wills but Lynne points out: “Everybody had already done their own thing. We were all doing slightly different things that we weren’t used to.”
Lynne’s personal favourite picture in the book shows the band grouped around a tree, holding their guitars, one of the first photos they had taken. “I was looking round going, ‘That really is Roy Orbison! And he is my mate!’.”
A fan of Orbison since the age of 13 when Only The Lonely stopped him in his tracks, Lynne had co-written and produced tracks that would ultimately be released on his hero’s posthumous album Mystery Girl.
“Obviously when Roy died I had only had a year with him. You Got It was this giant hit and then he died right away, which was such a shame because we’d only just got the hang of writing together and we were going to do all these songs together. He was such a wonderful guy: sweet, kind and really thoughtful.”
Even after years of friendship, Lynne would also experience the odd pang of disbelief at hanging round with a Beatles hero. “George was a great guy, he made me at ease as soon as I got to know him. And I do miss him.”
Despite his love of the Wilburys, Lynne concedes that one other project competes for pride of place on his musical CV. “I did actually produce the Beatles as well,” he says, saying the words incredulously, as if trying them for size. He was enlisted in 1994 to help produce Free As A Bird and Real Live, taken from unfinished demos that had passed to Yoko Ono.
“That was beyond and above anything that I could imagine. Nobody gets to produce the Beatles! Lennon’s voice was recorded on cassette so it was the most difficult piece of work I had to do. It was marvellous but scary to try to make a record out of this mono cassette with a voice and piano that wasn’t even very high quality because it was 25 years old.” Jeff Lynne ’s break came in 1970 when his fellow Brummie Roy Wood invited him to join the Move. Within a couple of years, the pair had branched off to form ELO, only for Wood to leave after the first album.
It was never entirely clear why Wood left; Lynne has spoken of the pair being too competitive with each other while Wood has said he didn’t like being the centre of attention. “Yes, I do talk to Roy now and again,” says Lynne. “He’s still me mate. I haven’t seen him for ages but that’s because I live in LA and he lives in the UK.”
Wood’s departure didn’t stop ELO becoming one of the biggest bands in the world during the late Seventies, enjoying a string of symphonic rock hits including Livin’ Thing and Mr Blue Sky. However, Lynne never bought into a lifestyle of rock ’n’ roll excess. His drug of choice was real ale and his big passion in life, music aside, was Birmingham City FC (he still watches their games from LA on satellite TV).
ELO split in 1986, as soon as Lynne had fulfilled contractual obligations, and since then this studio boffin has largely focused his attentions on producing other artists’ work. Who else would he like to collaborate with?
“There isn’t anyone I can think of, really. All my heroes like Roy Orbison and Del Shannon, the Beatles, I’ve done all the ones I always wanted to.”
That said, he’s enjoying working on Joe Walsh’s new album, at the same time as writing a couple of albums under his own name, though he won’t tell us in which musical direction he’s heading. What Lynne will confirm is that the surviving Wilburys will never travel again. “It wouldn’t be the same now,” he says. “It’s best to leave the band in the book and just look at it from afar with absolute pride and pleasure. It’s wonderful to have these fantastic memories and this book has brought it back home to me how extra-special the Traveling Wilburys were.”
The signed, hand-made, limited edition (of 3,000) book The Traveling Wilburys is available through Genesis Publications (www.genesispublications.com/01483 540 970), price 195

Да уж и на трудности перевода не спишешь...Ну что же,если это правда,нам только в радость.А мне ещё про Роя Вуда понравилось:
It was never entirely clear why Wood left; Lynne has spoken of the pair being too competitive with each other while Wood has said he didn’t like being the centre of attention. “Yes, I do talk to Roy now and again,” says Lynne. “He’s still me mate. I haven’t seen him for ages but that’s because I live in LA and he lives in the UK.”
И то что Джефф таки остался фаном родного клуба и смотрит их матчи по спутнику.
His drug of choice was real ale and his big passion in life, music aside, was Birmingham City FC (he still watches their games from LA on satellite TV).
Ну и про бирмингемский акцент не забыли.

На предпоследнем шоудауне в связи с ввозможным выходом ремастера Zoom,разразилась дискуссия о неоднозначной роли Рози Велла в жизни Джеффа.Почитайте,что пишут:
Shaun writes about Mike's "Maybe he just wants to wipe Rosie's vocal tracks off the remaster" comment:
>There's been a couple of negative comments re Rosie Vela recently. >Have I missed something why she is being reviled?
Three possible reasons: 1st - Mike isn't making a personal comment about Rosie, just a reference that fact that Rosie and Jeff are no longer an item - who knows the details around there split* - and it's just too painful to have her vocals on the CD. 2nd - Mike is one of the fans who felt Rosie just couldn't hold a candle to Kelly in the backing vocals/harmonies department. 3rd - Mike is one of the fans who found Rosie's incessantly swaying image on the Zoom DVD annoying. to the extreme. (And why couldn't she keep that damn sweater on her shoulders?) ;)
* - That was rhetorical folks: don't know, don't care.
Actually I met Rosie briefly (very briefly) at the VH1 taping: she was extremely pleasant and personable both on and off the stage.
>Have I missed something why she is being reviled?
It's not really how I feel, which is why I included that little winking emoticon. Rosie's okay, really. I was just having a bit of fun. I still remember the post from YEARS ago speculating bout Rosie really, really pushing Jeff hard to tour and controlling a lot of it, where someone retorted something about her not being some sort of "San Antonio Yoko Ono". Turns out she's not from San Antonio, but it was funny to read. Arlington native, isn't she?

А мне очень и очень симпатична Рози Велла, я прямо прониклась ею после концерта Zoom. А теперь, когда узнала, что она такую роль сыграла в этом концерте... - я просто не могу не восхищаться ею, и очень жаль, что они не с Джеффом больше... ну мне жаль, из чисто эгоистических соображений - некому его будет "пушить" на новый тур...

Лена, я не допоняла смысла: "пушить" от слова "пушистый" или от "push"?
нынешняя дама Джеффа сподвигла его,будем надеяться ,на целую кучу альбомов
а вот кто его сподвиг - еще вопрос) мне почему-то кажется, что ровная семейная жизнь мало кого на что сподвигает... Хотя есть и исключения конечно... Пол тот же...
Ровная семейная - это какая-то гармония в душе, светлые мысли, хорошее настроение, некоторое убаюкивание, не спорю. Но всё это в конечном счёте не так уж плохо. Мне трудно представить личность, которая сознательно хотела бы отсутствия уютного семейного очага, возможности посоветоваться с ближним в трудную минуту и пр., тем более при этом нацеленная на позитивное творчество. Могу ошибаться, но не думаю, чтобы жизнерадостная музыка рождалась у чуваков на грани нервного срыва. Есть, конечно, примеры, но это скорее исключения.

Один обдолбанный блоггер(он сам об этом пишет - "Since my biggest passion in life, next to drugs, is popular music") приводит цитату из книги "The 50 Worst Rock and Roll Records of All Time", by Jimmy Guterman & Owen O'Donnell,нашему любимому опять досталось,но не сильно.
33 1/3 rules of Rock and Roll
1.
Do not retain a band's name if the most important member(s) has left the group. Does anybody (even Pete Townshend) really like anything the Who have recorded since Keith Moon died in 1978? 2.
Do not sing a song about Elvis, especially if you have never been in a recording studio before. 3.
Do not record for Arista Records. In the late eighties, Clive Davis's label was a haven for art-rock has-beens eager for one last pillage, like GTR and the Kantner-Balin-Casady Band (both of which broke up after one album) and Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe (pending). Arista's flagship "new" artists of the time, particularly Milli Vanilli, were cynical exploitation units. 4.
Rock-an-roll songs with an orchestral choir are bound to be horrible. (Sole exception: "the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want.") 5.
Rock lyrics are not poetry (especially if Sting or Bono writes them). 6.
The quality of a rock-and-roll song is inversely proportional to the number of instruments on it (unless you're Van Morrison). 7.
Supergroups never are. 8.
Rock stars are not actors. 9.
Actors are not rock stars. 10.
White rock-and-roll stars who talk about their R&B roots are probably lying. Similarly, anyone born after April 1954 who records at the Sun Studio is a poseur. Furthermore, a return to roots in not necessarily a good thing. Listened to John Lennon's Rock'n' Roll lately? 11.
Don't sing a song about your dead parent, especially if that parent was a celebrity. This is the Hank Williams, Jr. rule. 12.
Elvis is dead. 13.
Do not go to art school. 14.
The more controversial the cause embraced, the more likely the star may actually be committed to it. Do you know anyone in favor or hunger or homelessness? 15.
Whatever you do, Jerry Lee Lewis has already done it. Probably better, too. 16.
A list is not a song. (Most blatant recent violation: Billy Joel's evasive "We Didn't Start the Fire.") 17.
Established artists should not allow family members into the band. 18.
There is no reason besides greed for an established performer to accept corporate sponsorship. 19.
Live records should reflect what a performance actually sounded like when it occurred. We loved the Talking Head's Stop Making Sense until we found out how many studios were used for postproduction. 20.
Videos are commercials. 21.
Good politics are not what make good lyrics. 22.
Formidable technical proficiency is never sufficient. This rule explains why art rock is always bad. 23.
Neither is formidable hair. (Exception: Little Richard.) 24.
Do not hang out with Jeff Lynne or Dave Stewart. They will produce your record, you will have to take part in periodic psychedelic revivals, and you'll start dressing like them. Do you want to wear a paisley vest and cowboy boots that badly? 25.
Cult artists are frequently just a boring and predictable as mainstream ones. This is also called the Robyn Hitchcock rule. 26.
Heavy metal should be fast. 27.
Punk happened. (Note tense.) 28.
If you have recorded more than three albums, someone will some day compile a boxed set dedicated to your oeuvre and Rolling Stone will give it four stars and call it a "grand summary, especially valuable in pristine CD." 29.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is an oxymoron. If you want your work to be recognized in a museum, learn to paint. 30.
Admit you're balding. 31.
Love is not all you need. Psychedelic lyrics never ring true after you've come down. 32.
Do not record cover versions of Motown or Stax/Volt hits. 33.
Rock and roll is but one small part of the music being bade on this planet. Rockers who think they're changing the world are in fact only reaching a small part of it.
