Shadows in the Night

• Track Listing

Dylan’s first album of new music since 2012 could be subtitled "Bob Dylan Sings the Frank Sinatra Songbook"! These are new recordings, but (perhaps you’ve heard—and that title is a clue) these are not new songs. These are songs Dylan knows and loves deeply and decided to not cover, but, as he puts it, uncover them. Gone are the big studio productions full of strings, horn sections, choirs and dramatic sweeps; instead, he set up with a five-piece band, eschewed headphones, nailed these in one or two live takes and scorned overdubs. They even mixed as they laid these tunes down, for the most part. The result is a breath of new life into 10 long-loved songs: "The Night We Called It a Day," "Some Enchanted Evening," "That Lucky Old Sun," "Autumn Leaves," "What’ll I Do," "Full Moon and Empty Arms," "I’m a Fool to Want You," "Stay with Me," "Where Are You?" and "Why Try to Change Me Now." Jack Frost (wink, wink) produced "Shadows in the Night," an intriguing new chapter in the ongoing Bob Dylan story! Columbia.
