Permalink The troubler by Traveling Wilburys

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Does anyone know if there are tabs out there for this song? I would say it is surfish if anything but it's a cool song and I'd love to learn it. Maybe this could be a request for someone to try to tab it? Anyone familiar with it?

I thought I had all the Traveling Wilbury songs and such, but this one is new to me - any other info?

"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been"

I dont' know it either. I'd love to hear it.

Any band who took their name from "Bonnie Prince Charley" are suspect to me. That said, Roy Orbison is God, & Tom Petty is the Saviour of Rock & Roll.

The song appears on the Wilbury album Volume 2 and 4 1/2 which has Tom Pettys Full Moon Fever album on it. If you go to ww.mp3raid.com and search for the song it should come up. I've played the song at some of my Halloween parties. It has a slightly ominous feel to it. When you hear it let me know what you think.

Hey i did anyone find a tab to this. I've been desperately looking for one. The song doesn't seem to exist. I did find a version of it on youtube under the name 'The trembler.' Just wondering if you guys found anything else?

Is The Trembler by Duane Eddy or The Traveling Willburys?

Duane had a version on the soundtrack to Natural born Killers.

The Youtube video of The Traveling Wilburys has the same song as the Duane videos (???)

Wikipedia says ""The Trembler", a track written by [Duane) Eddy and Ravi Shankar"

But i still can't find any tabs anywhere,

I agree. And I don't think this is The Traveling Wilburys. It sounds nothing like anything else they did.

"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been"

You can hear a sample of The Troubler here on The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 4 1/2. It does sound like The Trembler. Thing is, it's the one album of theirs I didn't buy, so I don't have my own copy to refer to.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

That was my initial thought but the sample isn't long enough to know how long it sounds like this. But I expect they're talented enough to do a perfect cover if they chose to. Maybe someone has the original release?

OK, I am going to make a bold statement... They are in fact, the same exact song and mix. "The Trembler" is an official release by Duane Eddy that features members of the TWs, and is (over)produced by Jeff Lynne. "The Troubler" only appears on a Russian bootleg that also features songs by TW members, but are not TW songs (like Orbison solo effort "You Got It".
The Duane version features Western movie noises, "The Troubler" doesn't have them.

From Discogs.com's Duane page:
The Trembler
Drums – Jim Keltner
Engineer – Richard Dodd
Guitar – Duane Eddy
Producer, Keyboards, Synthesizer, Bass – Jeff Lynne
Slide Guitar – George Harrison
Tenor Saxophone – Jim Horn
Written-By – D. Eddy, R. Shankar

And here's a Wibury fansite page:
http://www.wilburys.info/disc.html

I think the most interesting thing about this song is that Ravi Shankar collaborated with Duane Eddy. Wow, that must have been an interesting sit down.

Anyway, imho, The Troubler is not a TW song. Anybody got a better theory?

Nope. Works for me. So the song was included basically just because Jeff and George played on it?
