‘Cool Dry Place’ is the eighth song on Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.
As with ‘Handle With Care’ on their debut album, the song was inspired by the writing on the side of a box.
Actually, there was a box. There was a box, you see, ‘Store it in a cool dry place’. She saw it on a box, it said ‘store it in a cool dry place’.
The second single released from Vol. 3 was ‘Wilbury Twist’. The CD single contained the additional songs ‘New Blue Moon’ (Instrumental) and ‘Cool Dry Place’.
