Bob Dylan: New Music Frank Sinatra’s ‘Full Moon & Empty Arms’

Only because I made mention of him here last week: Bob Dylan's new studio album, Shadows In The Night, will be released on February 3.  Featuring ten tracks, closely associated with Frank Sinatra, will be the 36th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since 2012’s Tempest.

Upon Columbia’s announcement of the album’s forthcoming release, Bob Dylan commented;

“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.”
