by George Harrison and Lynne that also included Petty and Bob Dylan. Aside from further Lynne-produced sessions for Mystery Girl, to which Petty and Harrison contributed, Orbison recorded some of the songs with Campbell, T Bone Burnett and his wife Barbara Orbison each in the role of producer. The Heartbreakers played on much of the album, while Elvis Costello contributed the song "The Comedians". The album was named after the chorus from the track "She's a Mystery to Me", which was written by U2's Bono and The Edge.

This was the highest placing he had achieved for an album in the US, and the single, "You Got It", which peaked at number 9, was Orbison's first top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 since "Oh, Pretty Woman" in 1964.
