    I truly believe the man only cares that we acknowledge it.
    It isn't that he wants us to listen to any version of any song.
    He wants music to remain more important than just-a-memory.
    In other words, he is giving us enough product that the industry might just feel obliged to him.
    If the ship's going down, this man is bailing water with 2 buckets.
    Phenomenal!

    I guess in these dark days Bob lacks both inspiration and enthusiasm. The he was young music could actually inspire change. Nowadays it is hopeless, at best preaching to the people who shared his vision. So instead of releasing something half baked new he prefers to concentrate on songs before his time- Classics - you or I don't have to buy or listen to it. Bob does not need to prove a point and got more than enough money esp. given the fact he is not in his 20ies. He loves to play music-live AND in the studio. People dd not appreciate his 2 Blues cover albums initially but soon found out, that some of his strongest songs he recorded in the 80ies (before OH MERCY) can be found there. Plus time treats those cover albums better than say OH MERCY. He wrote so many classic songs and so many good songs-more than any other artist I can think off. Maybe BRUCE will one day come close.
    So let's wait for the product before bashing it, Sure I would prefer a NEW MORNING orBlonde On Blonde but times are not the same anymore and BOB is nearly 80 years old, not 25..

    I will probably eventually buy this (it is Dylan, after all), but after the previous two albums I won't be rushing out to get it. After a few months I would anticipate quite a few as-new quality turning up cheap on the 2nd-hand marketplace.

    Is that the actual album cover, or a placeholder at Amazon.com? If that's the real deal, it shows about zero effort.

    Other than thematically, curious why this needs to be three cds. It'll probably clock in around 100 minutes.

    I'm attracted to Dylan and his words... someone else's words in wavering croaks isn't gonna' cut it. I'll pass on this one as I have on the last two... a milestone for me.

    I like Bob's treatments of the Great American Songbook, as they remind me of the Stardust, Over The Rainbow, Willie & Leon albums, by Willie Nelson.

    He is doing a great job of these songs. It isn't about Sinatra, these are the songs EVERYBODY was doing in the days before rock and roll, really until the Beatles. They are incredible songs, and they were interpreted by all of the best and most of the worst. Bob isn't paying tribute to anyone, though, he is paying tribute to the songs, to the somgwrtiting he admires, and doing them his way. If it reminds me of anyone it is Hoagy Charmichael's recordings of his own songs.

    My two cents -- discounted today at only one copper penny! -- is that I bought Fallen Angels somewhat dutifully, after Shadows in the Night had left little impression on me, and then was surprised to find how much I was enjoying Fallen Angels. Indeed I probably liked it more than Tempest or Together Through Life. So, I guess if Triplicate is what Bob's in the mood for, that's what I'm up for too. Better that than trying to force out an album of new material he's not fully committed to.

    Knowing Bob, it's probably part of a bigger plan.
    Keep it coming, Bob.

    I like the last two quite a bit but they work better for me in small doses. Full albums of it from him tend to blur it all together in one smear, where cherry picking one or two is like a beautiful end credits to a film, like the third man and the falling leaves. Not sure how I feel about three more lps of it. I like the song selection but it may be too much of a good thing.

    The amazon U.K. preorder is much cheaper (for the deluxe lp set) than the amazon us link. It's about $55 (£41.66 after VAT removal) vs $67, fwiw....

    He didn't record any blues covers albums in the 80s. He did record 2 traditional folk albums in the 90s.

    There have been covers throughout his career, first album, Self Portrait, Dylan (!), Down in the Groove, Good as I Have Been to You, World Gone Wrong and now 5 (FIVE!) standards albums. In all cases except the first one he was probably dried up songwriting wise. Hope he has it in him to manage one more self penned album before the inevitable.

    I think they're focusing on 3 albums of studio recordings...

    Can't wait to hear the album, but is that the cover? If so, yikes.
