Bob Dylan never fails to confound. His most recent record, 2016’s “Fallen Angels,” continues in the vein of 2015’s “Strangers in the Night,” with Dylan and his band covering old standards, tunes from the ’40s and ’50s or earlier, giving them a smoky treatment, with lots of pedal steel and brushes and Dylan’s voice serving as a kind of croaky gritty textural topping.
Dylan has evolved into a spectral crooner, a spiritual brother to Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. He can do a record of Christmas songs or he can tip his hat to Sinatra. It’s all of interest, in part because Dylan’s stature doesn’t seem to get diminished. For every oddball new release there’s yet another installment of the seemingly never-ending Columbia Bootleg series, which only makes Dylan’s already mythic output as our songwriter bard all the more complex.
Bob Dylan plays at the Grand Theater at Foxwoods, 350 Trolley Line Blvd., Mashantucket, Sunday, July 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $70 to $155. foxwoods.com.
