The follow-up to last year’s Frank Sinatra-inspired covers project Shadows In The Night sees the singer produce and deliver versions of twelve tunes written by some of music’s most acclaimed and influential songwriters, including Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn and Carolyn Leigh.

 

DYLAN recorded Fallen Angels with his touring band at Capitol Studios in Hollywood with the help of engineer Al Schmitt, who also worked on the 2015 covers album.

 

The singer is previewing the album with Melancholy Mood, the b-side to Sinatra’s debut 1939 single From The Bottom Of My Heart.

 

DYLAN – who recently unloaded his personal archives of 6000 artifacts for an estimated $15 to $20 million – is currently playing more than a dozen shows in Japan this month before launching a US tour in Woodinville, WA on June 4.
