Gender swap The Travelling Wilburys - who would you choose?

As long as Crow doesn't sing..

This is a fantastic topic, Andy. Hmm, let me see.

I love your choices but I'll try to come up with something different. In this case they're not all musicians. I'm just going by beauty of voice.

Linda Ronstadt
Dolly Parton
Karen Carpenter
Whitney Houston
Celine Dion

On a somewhat related note, are you familiar with the Fleetwood Mac song called Songbird, sung by Christine McVie? I forgot all about that one until just now but it's another one that makes me cry.

In the Dwight Twilley video “Girls” there is a woman who looks like the female version of Tom Petty.

Hmmm... thinking of musicians still alive and performing today, plus in relationship to the male Wilburys:

1) George Harrison - Bonnie Raitt (both great slide guitar players)
2) Roy Orbison - Alison Krauss (voices of angels)
3) Tom Petty - Aimee Mann (both tall and blonde! 😃 Both great singer-songwriters)
4) Bob Dylan - Carole King (both great songwriters)
5) Jeff Lynne - Tracy Chapman (not a lot of similarities, but Tracy Chapman needs to be included... great voice and songwriter)

PJ Harvey
Joni Mitchell
Annie Lennox
Carole King
Patti Smith

Stevie Nicks
CHER
Taylor Swift
Reba McIntire
Lady Gaga

Brandi Love, Aaliyah Love, Abigail Mac, Cherie Deville and Hyapatia Lee. They get my motor running ...

Do you mean who they'd be now, or who they might've been back when the Wilbury thing was first conceived? It's been a while, so even the males would be recast now.
