Most bands release new albums in a blaze of publicity but when you’re Bob Dylan, you don’t need none of that.

The legendary troubadour today posted a cover of Frank Sinatra’s Full Moon and Empty Arms to his website and a spokesperson has now confirmed to Rolling Stone that the track will form part of a new album to be released later this year. The 72-year-old also posted the below image, which the music site has described as “in the style of graphic designer Reid Miles’ iconographic covers for jazz label Blue Note”.

The new release will be the first since 2012’s Tempest and Irish fans will be hoping that Dylan airs some of the upcoming material during his appearance in Cork this June.
