Shadows In The Night


リリースは来年2月3日



ディラン、36枚目のスタジオ・アルバムShadows In The Nightが来年2月3日にリリースされるようだ。以下にディランのコメントがあるが、ライヴ形式で録音し、1、2テイク…殆ど一発録りのような形でレコーディングしたようだ。こうしたこをずっとやりたかったが、フルバンドのアレンジを5ピースバンドでどのようにアプローチしたらよいかを考えていたようだ。

※以下のリリースの日本語訳。 "No separate tracking" …マルチトラックでレコーディングしてないという事だろう。一発録りでダイレクトに2chに落とした事と想像出来る。

PS
ディランは、これらの曲は十分すぎるほどカヴァーされてきたが、実際のところは葬られてるのも同然だと…そして、もう一度光をあてようと墓場から掘り返したと…ディランは、これらスタンダードの曲が実はとっくに人々の心から忘れ去られていると思っているのかもしれない。そして自分が歌うことでもう一度思い出してほしいと思ったのだろうか…だから「アンカヴァー」…カヴァーでは無い…オレ流で歌う…それは「本質」を含むのかもしれないが、ディラン本人は本質とは一言もいってない。ディランは光を当てたと言ってるだけだ。

忘れ去られた物に光を当てる…まぁテーマ・タイム・ラジオ・アワーとかもそんな…実際のところ、歌いたかっただけじゃないの(笑)。

それにしてもあのリード・マイルズを模したようなパロディにも見えるジャケット…例のリヴィジョニストアートか…

New Bob Dylan Studio Album Shadows In The Night Set For CD, Vinyl And Digital Release February 3, 2015 

Album Showcases Dylan's Singular Interpretive Artistry And Marks His First Collection Of New Music In Three Years

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2014  Columbia Records announced today that Bob Dylan's new studio album, Shadows In The Night, will be released on February 3, 2015. Featuring ten tracks, the Jack Frost-produced album is the 36th studio set from Bob Dylan and marks the first new music from the artist since 2012's worldwide hit Tempest.

Upon Columbia's announcement of the album's forthcoming release, Bob Dylan commented, "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."

As Columbia Records Chairman Rob Stringer explains, "There are no strings, obvious horns, background vocals or other such devices often found on albums that feature standard ballads. Instead, Bob has managed to find a way to infuse these songs with new life and contemporary relevance. It is a brilliant record and we are extremely excited to be presenting it to the world very soon."

Bob Dylan's five previous studio albums have been universally hailed as among the best of his storied career, achieving new levels of commercial success and critical acclaim for the artist. The Platinum-selling Time Out Of Mind from 1997 earned multiple Grammy Awards, including Album Of The Year, while "Love and Theft" continued Dylan's Platinum streak and earned several Grammy nominations and a statue for Best Contemporary Folk album.

Modern Times, released in 2006, became one of the artist's most popular albums, selling more than 2.5 million copies worldwide and earning Dylan two more Grammys. Together Through Life became the artist's first album to debut at #1 in both the U.S. and the UK, as well as in five other countries, on its way to surpassing sales of one million copies. Tempest received unanimous worldwide critical acclaim upon release and reached the Top 5 in 14 countries, while the artist's globe-spanning concert tours of the past few years have heavily emphasized that album's singular repertoire.

These five releases fell within a 15-year creative span that also included the recording of an Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning composition, "Things Have Changed," from the film Wonder Boys, in 2001; a worldwide best-selling memoir, Chronicles Vol. 1, which spent 19 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List, in 2004, and a Martin Scorsese-directed documentary, No Direction Home, in 2005. Bob Dylan also released his first collection of holiday standards, Christmas In The Heart, in 2009, with all of the artist's royalties from that album being donated to hunger charities around the world.

In recent years, Bob Dylan was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian honor. He was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power." He was also the recipient of the Officier de la Legion d'honneur in 2013, Sweden's Polar Music Award in 2000, Doctorates from the University of St. Andrews and Princeton University, as well as numerous other honors.

Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records around the world.
