A three-disc studio album from Bob Dylan, Triplicate, will be released on March 31, featuring 30 brand-new recordings of classic American tunes and marking the first triple-length set of the artist’s illustrious career. With each disc individually titled and presented in a thematically-arranged 10-song sequence, Triplicate showcases Dylan’s unique and much-lauded talents as a vocalist, arranger and bandleader on 30 compositions by some of music’s most lauded and influential songwriters. The Jack Frost-produced album is the 38th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since Fallen Angels, which was released in early 2016.

For Triplicate, Dylan assembled his touring band in Hollywood’s Capitol studios to record hand-chosen songs from an array of American songwriters including Charles Strouse and Lee Adams (“Once Upon A Time”), Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler (“Stormy Weather”), Harold Hupfield (“As Time Goes By”) and Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh (“The Best Is Yet To Come”). The titles of the individual discs are ‘Til The Sun Goes Down, Devil Dolls and Comin’ Home Late.

First Single:
I Could Have Told You

I'm looking forward to this, I've enjoyed Dylan's later work so far.

I haven't listened to much new Dylan (other than Modern Times) more than a few times. But I liked what I heard from the Youtube link.

Goddammit Bob, I was cool with the one Sinatra album, you annoyed the piss out of me with the second but this.....

In a way its fitting. You read about how in the past he's horrified his fans by ditching folk, plugging in, making Christian rock, a Christmas album etc but all of that either happened before my time or I just wasn't bothered by it personally.

But now we're in a 5 album holding pattern of standards, he's the man they warned me of lol.

The Sinatra albums have been fine, and this seems like it could be cool, but I really want to hear some new original Dylan songs. He hasn't released anything he's written since Tempest and that was a few years ago now.
Regardless, I will be getting this.

I think most legendary older artists like him record standards and covers later in life mostly. Johnny Cash did it, Willie Nelson is doing it now.

I'll give it a listen. Keep doing whatever you want, greatest of all time.

The good news is, this doesn't take away from those rumours of him doing a new album with Daniel Lanois.

Bob is becoming Rod Stewart. Fuck making any new music just do everybody else's.
