Bob Dylan To Release Album Of Frank Sinatra Covers

On February 3, Bob Dylan will release Shadows In The Night, a new album consisting of 10 Frank Sinatra covers. We had our first taste of the new LP earlier this year, when Dylan shared “Full Moon & Empty Arms.” This morning, the Dylan camp has shared the release date and tracklist for Shadows In The Night, which is Bob’s first new album since 2012’s Tempest.

Bob gives insight into the process of making Shadows In The Night in a press release announcing the LP. “It was a real privilege to make this album. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a 5-piece band. That’s the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded. I don’t see myself as covering these songs in any way. They’ve been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day,” Dylan wrote.
