For a man that recently won the Nobel Prize in literature, Bob Dylan sure seems to have run out of things to write about. His last two albums, Shadows In The Night and Fallen Angels, both featured cover versions of traditional songs from the great American songbook. His last album of original music was Tempest back in 2012.
Dylan’s penchant for the classics remains stronger than ever in 2017. On March 31, America’s greatest songwriter will release Triplicate, a three disc collection of music by many more of America’s greatest songwriters. (Pre-order here.) Triplicate will also be the first triple length studio recording in Dylan’s 50+ year career. Each individual disc in the set will also have its own title. The tracklists are below:

You probably have a pretty good idea what this album is going to sound like, but if this is your first exposure to “Dylan Does the Classics,” here’s a preview of the “new” music:
