...most of his time meditating, music making, gardening and watching Formula One races on the telly at Friar Park, his extraordinary estate in Henley-on-Thames, and at his hideaway on the Hawaiian island of Maui. He ventured out occasionally to record and play with the Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup that included Dylan, Tom Petty and others. But various legal battles took up even more of his time.

Yet their crystal vocal harmonies and politically conscious folk-rock remain surprisingly affecting. With a couple of superb contributions by Young, they've come up with something more than mere deja vu. But in the age of the Backstreet Boys, you wonder: Will anyone pay attention...
