Bob Dylan Announces Frank Sinatra Covers Album ‘Shadows in the Night’

Bob Dylan has revealed that his new album (produced under his Jack Frost alias) will be titled Shadows in the Night and will be made up of songs once sung by Frank Sinatra. It’s his first since 2012’s Tempest. It’s out February 3 and the tracklist is below.

In a press release, Dylan said:

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 five-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.

Shadows in the Night:

01 I’m a Fool to Want You
02 The Night We Called It a Day
03 Stay With Me
04 Autumn Leaves
05 Why Try to Change Me Now
06 Some Enchanted Evening
07 Full Moon and Empty Arms
08 Where Are You?
09 What’ll I Do
10 That Lucky Old Sun
