After 'Shadows In the Night' (2015), Bob Dylan once again sings Frank Sinatra in his new and latest album titled 'Fallen Angels'. The thirty-seventh studio album and an ideal follow-up to the previous record, it features twelve songs written by various authors (Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn...) and all of these, except for 'Skylark', have previously been interpreted by Sinatra. Clearly, in this case, as usual, much of the criticism (in addition to the fact that it is a cover album) is directed at his voice and interpretive abilities, which over the years have only gained more expressiveness. And then, in these specific cases here, it is well known that he loves to adopt this lovesick tomcat voice. It’s one of the typical vices he has always succumbed to throughout his career.
