Bob Dylan

BOB DYLAN is set to release "Triplicate," a three-disc  studio album featuring 30 brand-new recordings of "classic AMERICAN songs" on MARCH 31st, marking the first triple-length set of the artist’s historic career.  With each disc individually titled and presented in a thematically-arranged 10-song sequence, "Triplicate" showcases DYLAN’s talents as a vocalist, arranger and bandleader covering some of music’s most lauded and influential songwriters.  The JACK FROST-produced album is DYLAN's 38th studio set and marks the first new music from the artist since "Fallen Angels," which was released early last year

"Triplicate" will be simultaneously released in several configurations, including a three-CD eight-panel Digipak, a three-LP vinyl set and a three-LP deluxe vinyl limited edition packaged in a numbered case.  "Triplicate" is also available for pre-order on iTunes and one of its recordings, “I Could Have Told You,” can now be streamed via a “Vinyl Video” on YOUTUBE. 

To record the album, 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.

The artist’s two previous album of classic AMERICAN songs, last year’s "Fallen Angels" and 2015’s "Shadows In The Night," were both worldwide hits and garnered GRAMMY nominations in the category of Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.  

Last DECEMBER, DYLAN was awarded the NOBEL PRIZE for LITERATURE “for having created new poetic expressions within the great AMERICAN song tradition.”
