In 2006 Dylan told Rolling Stone that he was stunned by the overwhelmingly positive response to the first volume of Chronicles . `` The reviews of this book , some of 'em almost made me cry - in a good way , '' he told writer Jonathan Lethem . `` I 'd never felt that from a music critic , ever ... .Most people who write about music , they have no idea what it feels like to play it . But with the book I wrote , I thought , 'The people who are writing reviews of this book , man , they know what the hell they 're talking about . ' It spoils you .

'' `` 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 do n'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 was n't bringing anything at all into the studio , I was completely disillusioned .
