”This track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later on this year,” a spokesperson for the singer tells Rolling Stone. While the rep wouldn’t confirm an album title, Dylan posted an image of himself with the phrase “Shadows in the Night.” With its distinct vertical bars and crisp, minimalist text, the image appears to be in the style of graphic designer Reid Miles’ iconongraphic covers for jazz label Blue Note.
Here’s Sinatra’s version:
Listen to the song, a cover of Frank Sinatra’s 1945 hit “Full Moon and Empty Arms”:
Before Alex Chilton formed Big Star with Chris Bell, Jody Stephens and Andy Hummel, he was the singer/frontman/Mr. Personality of the Box Tops, the group that scored a #1 hit with “The Letter.”
While still in the Bob Tops, Chilton head The Band’s “Music From Big Pink, flipped over “I Shall Be Released” and recorded the song for the Box Tops 1969 album, Dimensions. The group’s cover version of “I Shall Be Released” reached #67 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
After he quit the Box Tops, Chilton played folk music in Greenwich Village, part of a period of growth and transition that led to Big Star.
