Poor House | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Poor House’ is the sixth song on Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.

My favorite Traveling Wilburys song is probably ‘End Of The Line’, but there was an obscure one Jeff and I did called ‘Poor House’ on the second record. That was one I wrote about 10 minutes after the session had ended and everyone was leaving. The engineer, Richard Dodd, was like, ‘Hey everybody wait; we’re gonna do this really quick.’ We laid the track down, and Jeff and I did it all in two-part harmony together on one mike, which people don’t do much anymore. At that time, we sang together quite a bit, and we had gotten pretty good a harmonies. We just thought we’d go for it because there’s no fixing it up on one mike.
