Bob Dylan – tilbage med endnu et coveralbum
11. december 2014
Det har meget længe stået klart, at Dylan ville udgive et nyt album. Men det har været uklart, hvornår det vlle ske og hvad pladen ville indeholde. Men nu har mandens egen hjemmeside sluppet nyheden løs. Den nye skive – Shadows in the Night – kommer d. 3. februar 2015. Og der er tale om endnu en coverplade. Denne gang med sange fra trediverne, fyrrerne og halvtredserne – bl.a. sange fra Frank Sinatras sangskat.
Om pladen siger Dylan selv på sin hjemmeside:
It was a real privilege to make this album. I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a 5-piece band. That’s the key to all these performances. We knew these songs extremely well. It was all done live. Maybe one or two takes. No overdubbing. No vocal booths. No headphones. No separate tracking, and, for the most part, mixed as it was recorded. I don’t see myself as covering these songs in any way. They’ve been covered enough. Buried, as a matter a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.â€
Så er det op til os at vurdere, om projektet er lykkedes.
