MUMBAI: Iconic musician Bob Dylan is reportedly set to release a new album in 2015. The 36th studio album will reportedly consist entirely of cover versions. The news of his new album started making the rounds when advance copies of Dylan's latest box set 'The Basement Tapes Complete' came with a flyer advertisement inserted into the artwork.

The flyer stated in plain white text on a black background: 'Bob Dylan – 'Shadows In The Night' - New Album Coming 2015', reports contactmusic.com. No other details of the forthcoming album have been confirmed, but 'Shadows In The Night' is widely believed to be an album of cover versions.

This is based on the current existence of a cover of Frank Sinatra's 1945 hit "Full Moon and Empty Arms", which Dylan posted back in May. A spokesman for Dylan stated at the time that "the track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later this year".

As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time; he has received numerous awards including Grammy, Golden Globe, and Academy Award; he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Songwriters Hall of Fame. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from US President Barack Obama.
