The tracklist for Bob Dylan’s new studio album, Shadows in the Night, has finally been revealed. The legendary singer/songwriter will release the new album in February.
Shadows in the Night was initially supposed to be out before the end of the year. It was teased back in May when Dylan posted a version of “Full Moon and Empty Arms,” a song performed by Frank Sinatra, on his site. That track will wind up on the final version of the 10-track album.
Shadows was produced by Dylan under his pseudonym Jack Frost and will be released on Feb. 3. It is his 36th studio album overall and first since 2012’s Tempest.
Dylan said in a statement that he had always wanted to make a covers album of beloved standards, but didn’t want to do it with a big orchestra. Instead, they are performed with his five-piece band.
“I don't see myself as covering these songs in any way,” Dylan said. “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.”
Dylan has done cover albums in the past, but this is the first time he’s taking on pop standards. He recorded two folk cover albums in the early ‘90s and released a Christmas album of covers in 2009.
Here’s the tracklist:
I'm A Fool To Want You
The Night We Called It A Day
Stay With Me
Autumn Leaves
Why Try to Change Me Now
Some Enchanted Evening
Full Moon And Empty Arms
Where Are You?
What'll I Do
