• Tracing the History of the Triple Album, One of Rock's Most Elusive Formats

  31-03-2017 23:02 via rollingstone.com

  Rolling Stone Recommends Bob Dylan, Triplicate
  Bob Dylan's third foray into songs previously recorded by Frank Sinatra isn't only the largest set of new recordings he's ever released (three CDs, 30 songs), it's also majestic in its own right. Dylan moves through this area – the region of Sinatra, and also of standards songwriters like Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Hoagy Carmichael, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein – as if it's territory for him to chart and command.
