Bob Dylan Will Give New Sinatra Cover Album To 50,000 Old People

When Bob Dylan announced that his newest album, Shadows in the Night, would be comprised of Frank Sinatra covers, his marketing team must have assumed that the only people interested would be the elderly. So much so, that they will be giving 50,000 copies of Shadows in the Night to AARP members nationwide.

Dylan gave his first interview in three years to AARP Magazine, saying that he conceived the Sinatra cover album concept after listening to Willie Nelson’s Stardust album in the seventies, which contains covers of pop standards. Throughout the interview, Dylan discusses his adoration of Sinatra and his methods of interpreting such classic tunes.

You can listen to “Stay With Me” from Shadows in the Night below. The album is due out February 3rd.
