SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT is the thirty-sixth studio album by Bob Dylan, released by Columbia Records on 3rd February 2015. The album consists of covers of traditional pop standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, chosen by Dylan. Like most of his 21st Century output, Dylan produced the album himself under the pseudonym ''Jack Frost''. The album garnered acclaim from music fans, who praised its song selections as well as Dylan and his band's performance and arrangements. The album debuted at No. One on the UK Albums Chart, making Dylan the oldest male solo artist to chart at No. One in the UK. Other people's songs have long been a staple for Bob Dylan, who first made his name in Greenwich Village by singing folk songs in the early '60s and often returned to old tunes as the years rolled by. But even with this long history of overt affection for pre-rock & roll pop, the existence of 2015's SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT might come as a surprise. SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT finds the songwriter whose work marks the divide where artists were expected to pen their own material finding sustenance in the Great American Songbook, with every one of its songs recorded at some point by Frank Sinatra.
PERSONNEL: Bob Dylan – vocals; Larry G. Hall, Daniel Fornero – trumpet; Tony Garnier – upright bass; Joseph Meyer, Dylan Hart – French horn; Donnie Herron – pedal steel guitar; Andrew Martin, Francisco Torres, Alan Kaplan – trombone; Charlie Sexton, Stu Kimball – guitar; George Receli – percussion.
SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT is appropriately a defiantly old-fashioned album. Archaic though it may be - it's a mere ten songs lasting no longer than 35 minutes, just like all the long-players of the '50s - it's hard to call it musty. Occasionally, Dylan's roadhouse crew is augmented by horns but the brass coloring bleeds into the sweet, mournful slide of Donnie Herron's pedal steel, accentuating that these renditions aren't nostalgic covers but reflections of Dylan's present. His voice shows gravelly signs of wear but he knows how to use his weathered instrument to its best effect, concentrating on the cadence of the lyrics and digging deep into their emotional undercurrent. In that sense, SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT is a truer Sinatra tribute, for Dylan inhabits these songs like an actor, just like Frank did way back when. What Dylan is saluting is not the repertoire, per se, but rather the mournful intimacy of Sinatra's "saloon" songs, the records he made to be played during the pitch black of the night. These slow, winding arrangements are in SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT feels unexpectedly resonant. It's a testament to how deeply Dylan sees himself in these old songs. The 73-year-old Dylan’s voice bears the scars of age. He uses this to his advantage and offers versions of love songs associated with a younger person to give an old man’s perspective. Dylan turns the jazz standard into a nostalgic look at a long-ended affair. Looking back sweetly on a love that ended in pain is one of the few benefits of aging. Dylan has coyly said he’s not covering these Sinatra songs, he’s uncovering them from the weight of all those who have added their dross to the originals. There’s no sarcasm, cynicism or irony on this disc, no hipster coolness, no vocal embellishments. SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT is clearly an act of love and honor.
