Bob Dylan's new LP will in fact be a Frank Sinatra covers LP

Dylan

Bob Dylan, who recently wrapped up a five-night run at Beacon Theatre, had previously confirmed a new album called Shadows In The Night for 2015 which was rumored to be a covers album containing his take on Frank Sinatra’s “Full Moon and Empty Hearts.” It’s since been confirmed that it’s in fact a whole album of Frank Sinatra covers album including that song as well as nine others. It’s due out February 3 via Columbia and produced by Dylan himself under his pseudonym “Jack Frost.” He said, via press release:

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.
