DYLAN REVISITS MORE CLASSICS

Bob Dylan returns to the music of songwriters who built the Great American Songbook on Triplicate, the first triple LP of his career. Columbia will release the 30-track album 3/31.

Each disc is individually titled and thematically arranged: ‘Til the Sun Goes Down; Devil Dolls; and Comin’ Home Late. One of the tracks, Carl Sigman and Jimmy Van Heusen’s “I Could Have Told You,” can now be streamed.

As he did with Shadows in the Night and Fallen Angels, Dylan assembled his touring band in Hollywood’s Capitol studios for the record. Among the selections are Charles Strouse and Lee Adams’ “Once Upon A Time,” Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler’s “Stormy Weather,” Herman Hupfeld’s “As Time Goes By” and Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh’s “The Best Is Yet To Come.”

Like the previous albums, Dylan is again interpreting songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. “Trade Winds” dates from Ol’ Blue Eyes’ years with Tommy Dorsey; “It’s Funny to Everyone But Me” was recorded with the Harry James Orchestra; and Alec Wilder and Edwin Finckel’s “Where is the One” is from his early Columbia days. Two of the lesser-known songs in the new collection, Gordon Jenkins' “It Gets Lonely Early” and Kurt Adams and Sonny Gallop's “Somewhere Along the Way,” were recorded by Sinatra in the ‘60s.
