Bob Dylan "Shadows in the Night"

yeah sounded great...
he added autumn leaves to his set on the most recent neverending tour jaunt.

man he looks spooked tho, give the man a guitar to at least hold or something

This is my most played record of 2015 thus far. I truly adore it.

I guess I should get around to listening to it. The only post-2000 Dylan albums I don't own are this one and the Christmas one.

It's a great record for late night listening

gave it a spin sunday and lots of tunes now stuck in my head

RUMORS!!!!!!!
Bob Dylan's next album is called "Fallen Angels." Four-song 7" is coming out for Japanese tour and Record Store Day. Side A: Melancholy Mood, All or Nothing at All. Side B: Come Rain or Come Shine, That Old Black Magic.

Cool! Forgot to paste this, from Rolling Country 2015 & Nashville Scene ballot comments (now archived on thefreelancementalists.blogspot.com)
Bob Dylan's Shadows In The Night tracks a worn but sometimes surprisingly poised, limber, white-bluesy growl---in effect like the later Sinatra's shrewd conservation and investment of remaining resources (look for the 1980s cable concert from Wolf Trap, for inst) through the moonlight, with acoustic bass and steel guitar navigating, Cap'n D always at the wheel. The romantic ritualism could just seem like the "elaborate sentimentality" tag twhich young Nik Cohn applied in passing, but this is the sound of conviction, beyond excuses for getting wasted: the opener, "I'm a Fool To Want You" is spooked realization--this time is like the first time, and now he can't shake the chil. Ditto matter how many times those "Autumn Leaves" have drifted by, and how mellow the sadness they can bring, he dreads the the sign of their coming once more(oops, spoiler, but I never noticed the dramatic climax written in before, maybe because I never listened to the end before, so give the grizzled tones more points for that).
And love songs can be like work songs here---another old-school country association---nevertheless, somehow he gets into a drift that gradually spins him around, in his spacey, autumn leafy way---"I go away for the weekend, and leave my keys in the door"---which leads to a happier realization, "I've always been your clown"---happier because, hey "Why try to change me now." He enjoys the quest, the cruise, the growlin' prowl in the blue moonlight (and shadows, yes)! So the second half reflects this, at least 'til "That Lucky Ol' Sun" flips the light on: more work ahead, but he sounds ready for it, even if complaining and jealous of the Sun (can't get too happy, or it wouldn't be country).

"Elaborate sentimentality" tag which young Nik Cohn applied in passing to country music as a whole; in his 60s collection Rock From The Beginning, AKA A Whop-Bop-A-Loo-Bop-A-Lop-Bam-Boom and maybe other titles.

Sounds cool, is it presumably outtakes from Stadows sessions?

is this out or what?

^^mentioned in a "worst covers of 2016" listicle... gotta say, it is very uninspired...

From wiki entry for "Amour Fou" (Season 3) episode of the Sopranos:

The music played when Ralph returns home to comfort Rosalie is a Bob Dylan cover of a Dean Martin song, "Return To Me". It was recorded for this episode at Dylan's request, as he is an admitted fan of the series [David Chase mentions this in the DVD/Blu-ray audio commentary for this episode].

this is really odd and I never noticed it before. Was this the beginning of his American songbook phase?

that one is pretty nice -- he was doing a handful of old crooner tunes throughout the neverending tour, though -- http://www.bobsboots.com/CDs/cd-g41_6.html

that's interesting!

there is of course also "Blue Moon" on Self Portrait, really it's probably an interest of his that's been there all along - reading Chronicles it's interesting to see how many artists from different genres (even different art forms) Dylan (at least retrospectively) identifies with
