Fallen Angels is the thirty-seventh studio album by Bob Dylan, set to be released on 20 May 2016 by Columbia Records.[1]
The album features covers of twelve classic American tunes chosen by Dylan himself, from a diverse array of writers such as Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn and Carolyn Leigh.[1] Much like the album's predecessor, Shadows in the Night, every song on the album, except for "Skylark", was once recorded by Frank Sinatra.[2]
On April 7, 2016, the song "Melancholy Mood" was made available on iTunes as an Instant Gratification track,[1] and via streaming on YouTube. On April 28, 2016, the day Dylan concluded a tour of Japan, a second track from the album, "All the Way", became available to download from iTunes and stream on YouTube.
Composition and recording
Fallen Angels was recorded in 2015 at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, with his touring band.[1]
