End of the Line
“End of the Line” is a song by the British-American supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. It was the final track on their debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, released in October 1988. It was also issued in January 1989 as the band’s second single. The recording features all the Wilburys except Bob Dylan as lead singers; George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. The song was mainly written by Harrison and was assigned to his publishing company, Umlaut Corporation.[2] However, all five members of the group received a songwriting credit in keeping with the collaborative concept behind the Wilburys project.[3]
In the United States, the single peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at No. 2 on the Album Rock Tracks chart, blocked from the top spot by both “Driven Out” by The Fixx and “Working on It” by Chris Rea. In the United Kingdom, the single peaked at No. 52 on the UK Singles Chart.[4]
