What is the name of the album that Bob Dylan released in 2015 that was a collection of covers of classic American standards?

The story behind the answer

Bob Dylan released Shadows in the Night in 2015 as a collection of covers of classic American standards. Columbia Records issued the album on February 3, 2015.

The album contains ten songs associated especially with Frank Sinatra's late-1950s and early-1960s recordings. Dylan selected standards such as “I'm a Fool to Want You,” “Some Enchanted Evening,” and “That Lucky Old Sun,” reshaping them with restrained arrangements featuring guitars, horns, upright bass, percussion, and pedal steel.

The album is sometimes mistaken for Fallen Angels, another Dylan standards album released in 2016, or Triplicate, his three-disc standards collection from 2017. Rough and Rowdy Ways is a 2020 album of mostly original Dylan songs, not a standards project.

Dylan recorded Shadows in the Night at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, a location strongly associated with Sinatra. The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
