This is absolutely superfluous.
Who needs another collection of old standards (3 Discs this time, oh my god).

What we need is a new set of original compositions. You would think that with all that's being going on in the last 12 months (politically and otherwise), Dylan would have plenty of 'material' to work on.
Can't expect a classic like 'Times they are a changing' however.
Nor will Mick and Keith come up with another "Street Fighting Man'.
Shame of course.

The Stones release a CD with traditionals - people love it.

Dylan releases 3 CDs with traditionals - people complain.

Dylan hasn't commented on politics in decades, has he? I wouldn't expect him to jump back in at this stage.

"I Could Have Told You" off Bob Dylan's upcoming album 'Triplicate' is available now:





Bob Dylan's first three-disc album 'Triplicate,' which features 30 brand new recordings of classic American songs, will be available March 31.

Release date should be April 1st, that would make sense!

I'm not complaining, but we have already had 2 CDs of this stuff. Now 3 more? I think Dylan is singing great these days, I would love to hear some new, original stuff while his voice is in pretty good shape!

But, I'm sure I will enjoy this.

Cheap as well - a UK music website is advertising the triple CD for £16.99

That was a nice tune....for a Sunday afternoon nap!
I imagine my Great Grandma (rest her soul) might have really enjoyed this!

Hopefully this triple disc of 'classic American songs' will get it all out of his system once and for all.
It's not that it's all been horrible (well maybe some of it is), but this stuff really becomes monotonous after awhile no matter how much I appreciate Dylan,
Of course I'm no one to tell him what to do, but I'd be really happy if he made something similar to the great Time Out of Mind...or anything original!

For those interested to hear Frank's versions on this new triple album, here's a playlist on Spotify (except Braggin', which was not recorded by Ol' Blue Eyes):

[open.spotify.com]

Sinatra recorded over 1,200 songs... danger ahead.

Honestly, Dylans last two albums of Great American Songbook songs were the most boring albums he has ever recorded. Knowing those albums makes me love Slow Train Coming and even Self Portrait in hindsight. If he loves those songs so much he should sing them in his living room but please Bob stop bother other people.

No complaints here. I'm looking forward to the release. I was shocked when I received the email!

What I find striking about "Once Upon A Time" on the Tony Bennett tribute, and this new track as well is the lack of gravel in Bob's voice.

As the two album of folk covers he recorded before Time Out Of Mind helped to put him back on track as a songwriter, I think this trio of albums of him performing standards have rebooted Bob as a vocalist.

I think somebody the likes of Bob Dylan can and does sing anything he wants and he has the awards and recognition that backs it up .Like any of us could even attempt to tell him what to play or record .

He's done that from day one.

I just don't understand folks who keep telling artists what they should do next.

I love Bob and I don't begrudge him the right to do whatever he wants but for my own taste I wish he'd get the Sinatra-ish stuff out of his system already. 2 albums plus a triple on the way? I need original Bob tunes!

"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."

I seem to recall Sinatra himself put out a three setter in 1980.
Titled 'TRILOGY'.

Well, his movie "Masked And Anonymous" certainly has got some political elements in it.

The title "Triplicate" sounds mightily ironic when you take the word duplicate and count one further. This 3-CD set feels almost like Dylan and his band have recorded many more songs during the sessions for the previous 2 standards albums to choose from, and now, they are just putting it all out.
Also, this is him staying true to his current path of choice in spite of the Nobel Prize commitee having just awarded him for his original material from bck in the day. After all, he didn't get this prize for the "Tempest" album, or did he?

Yeah whenever Bob plays in London Ronnie is usually there if not on stage then in the audience.

Shouldn't you write "Ronnie was usually there"... Now that Ron's totally clean he might not want to suffer Bob's voice in his ear during 3 or 4 songs...
When Ron was in his "loaded" days he probably didsn't realize what ordeal he'd willingly put himself thru.

"Errrr... Bob thx but I'll have to pass this time. Ya know kids take all my time these days. No time for sharing a stage with you anymore!".

EDIT : <cough cough> take this as a humorous post... and if your head is stuck up yer @ss it's time to pull it out, pal!

Yeah sure you go ahead and tell Ronnie who he should be on stage with.

When was the last time you have seen Dylan in concert or do you just judge from watching YouTube clips filmed on a phone.

well, every time Bob plays two or more shows in London there's some rumor spread that Ronnie will join him on stage – BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS (except in 1996, but Ronnie didn't add much to the sound)
