BOB DYLAN is taking on tracks originally recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra for his new album “Shadows in the Night,” he has announced.

    His 36th studio album, out Feb. 2, will feature 10 “uncovers.”

    “I’m a Fool to Want You,” “The Night We Called It a Day” and Irving Berlin’s “What’ll I Do,” all recorded by Sinatra, are among the songs being reworked by Dylan and his band. Other highlights on the album produced by Jack Frost include Nat King Cole’s “Autumn Leaves” and “Some Enchanted Evening” from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “South Pacific.”

    Dylan — who has sold more than 125 million records around the world and won multiple Grammys — called it “a real privilege” to make the album.

    “I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time but was never brave enough to approach 30-piece complicated arrangements and refine them down for a five-piece band,” he said.

    Columbia Records chairman Rob Stringer said Dylan had infused “new life and contemporary relevance into the songs.”

    The album is the first new music from Dylan since 2012’s critically acclaimed “Tempest.”

    His last five albums, including 2006’s “Modern Times,” have achieved new levels of commercial success for his work.
