Bob Dylan has confirmed that the forthcoming Fallen Angels will be another album of Frank Sinatra covers.

The follow-up to last year’s Shadows in the Night will be a 12-track album of jazz and pop songs, made famous by the late singer.

Ahead of the record’s May 20 release, Dylan has released Melancholy Mood, originally written by Vick R Knight and Walter Schumann.

The song was first recorded by Sinatra in 1939 and was the B-side to his first single From The Bottom of My Heart.

Dylan, 74, recorded the new album with his band at Hollywood’s Capitol Studios last year after completing the first album.

The iconic folk singer is set to embark on a 27-date tour in June, playing in cities including Los Angeles, San Diego and Boston.

Later this month, the folk star will perform 13 dates in Japan, with just one month off before kicking off his two-month North American tour.

Speaking about the album recording session, Engineer Al Schmitt recently told Billboard: “It's going along great.

“[Dylan] sounds great. His mood in the studio is fabulous. We’re having a good time. We’re like two old shoes together now, we’re so comfortable with one another now.”

Fallen Angels will be released on May 20.
