Bob Dylan Announces New Three-CD Set, ‘Triplicate’
Bob Dylan will once again dip into the Great American Songbook for another set of standards. Following 2015's Shadows in the Night and last year's Fallen Angels, the three-CD Triplicate consists almost entirely of songs recorded by Frank Sinatra.
The album includes 30 songs that are divided thematically over the course of three discs. Standards like "September of My Years," "Stormy Weather," "As Time Goes By," "The Best Is Yet to Come" and "Stardust" are featured. The discs are titled ‘Til the Sun Goes Down, Devil Dolls and Comin’ Home Late.
You can see the track listing for Triplicate, which comes out on March 31, below. You can hear the first song from the album, "I Could Have Told You," above.
Dylan and his band allegedly recorded a bunch of these songs -- most from the '30s and '40s, and made famous by Sinatra during his long career -- during sessions that yielded the two earlier albums. This new one may wrap up this series of standards.
Triplicate will be released as three CDs, a three-LP vinyl set, a deluxe vinyl limited-edition package in a numbered case and digitally, and is available for pre-order now.
Dylan, who was awarded a Nobel Prize late last year, is also reportedly putting together the next volume of his acclaimed Bootleg Series. The 13th collection could gather material from his gospel recordings of the late '70s and early '80s, a period that spawned the albums Slow Train Coming, Saved and Shot of Love.
