This new opus is preceded by a single, False Prophet , already available on all streaming platforms.

Great comeback

If the news is a surprise to many, aficionados of Bob Dylan suspected that something was going on. Last March, the singer had already released  Murder Most Foul , a 17-minute river title that returned to the assassination of JFK. A few weeks later followed I Contain Multitudes , a piece that referenced, among others, the poets Walt Whitman and William Blake, the Rolling Stones, or Edgar Allan Poe.

Bob Dylan's last original music album dates back to 2012, with The Tempest . Since then, he has published three albums of cover versions of Frank Sinatra's standards.
