If there’s one way to set the melancholy mood your Thursday morning didn’t ask for, it’s the news that innovative music man Bob Dylan has done the unthinkable and recorded even more Frank Sinatra covers. Not content with Shadows of the Night, his first attempt at going full Sinatra, Ol’ Other Blue Eyes has a second Sinatra covers album for you. Fallen Angels is out May 20, gifting the world with 12 all-new sulky Dylan takes on the Sinatra songbook, including 1939’s “Melancholy Mood†— which you, poor lonely soul, can listen to now while you’re feeling stranded high and dry waiting for Dylan to get back to writing his own songs. Anything but more IBM commercials, we beg you.
