Dylan is captivated by this music, reveling in the lyrics, restoring intros often left off of modern interpretations, bending his style to fit the songs instead of vice-versa. By now, Dylan’s approach to this material is familiar - he takes his touring band into the legendary Capitol Studios in Hollywood to record arrangements that feel lean yet full, rooted in pre-war pop but played for a barroom audience - but it is by no means exhausted. Each of the three discs are given titles - the first is dubbed ‘Til the Sun Goes Down, the second Devil Dolls, with Comin’ Home Late rounding out the collection - and they’re presented in a manner not dissimilar to an old-fashioned album of 78 rpms, a nod to the dawn of popular recorded music. Secondly, Triplicate is indeed a triple-album, or perhaps more accurately, a set of three interlinked albums all running 32 minutes apiece.

First, the 2017 collection is the third installment in Bob Dylan’s exploration of the Great American Songbook, following quickly on the heels of 2015’s Shadows in the Night and 2016’s Fallen Angels. T’s possible to read the title of Triplicate in two ways.
