Dylan Signs Six Book Deal
Expect a couple more volumes of his autobiography
Bob Dylan has signed a six book deal with published Simon & Schuster which will see him continue his volumes of autobiographies and release various other tomes.
Rolling Stone reports that as part of the deal Dylan will follow up 2004’s Chronicles: Volume 1 with two more volumes of his life story. He will also release a book based on his Theme Time Radio Hour radio show.
No word on what will be contained in the other three books.
In 2006 Dylan told Rolling Stone about what periods of his life people can expect in Volume 2 of his life story.
"I think I can go back to the Blonde on Blonde album - that's probably about as far back as I can go on the next book," he said. "Then I'll probably go forward. I thought of an interesting time. I made this record, Under the Red Sky, with Don Was, but at the same time I was also doing the second Wilburys record. I don't know how it happened that I got into both albums at the same time. I worked with George Harrison and Jeff Lynne during the day — everything had to be done in one day, the track and the song had to be written in one day, and then I'd go down and see Don Was, and I felt like I was walking into a wall. He'd have a different band for me to play with every day, a lot of all-stars, for no particular purpose. Back then I wasn't bringing anything at all into the studio, I was completely disillusioned."
