I just received this, and have been through it once. It's Dylan's 36th studio recording released on February 3, 2015, again on Columbia Records. All the cuts are songs recorded previously by Frank Sinatra. None written by Dylan himself. I would be interested in hearing anyone else's opinion of it. There's an interesting interview of Dylan in this month's AARP magazine.
Here's a link to some commentary:

Abba nabba noooba nabba AAHHHHH, Yeahhhh!!!
I think Bob Dylan’s a musical genius.
But, about 20 years ago, one of my (then) kids said, “What’s wrong with this guy? He sounds like he has asthma.” Thereafter, he referred to him as “the asthma dude.”
I’ve heard his Christmas Album, so I know I don’t need to hear him singing “Some Enchanted Evening”.
The Christmas Album was for “good cause” fundraising, if I recall correctly, even thought it was a joke, and horrible.
Samples of the new album’s song are listenable on Amazon.
Are the vocals at all intelligible? lol
(his music should come with closed captioning)
Long live Bob Dylan!
Yeah, you definitely need to give him a chance cause his voice is not the best, IMO.
There are some examples of the recorded and live versions of Stay With Me on this page.

I think Dylan is our William Shakespeare in the musical sense as there is no one else to compare him to.
Dylan is awesome.
“I think Dylan is our William Shakespeare in the musical sense as there is no one else to compare him to.”
Well, yeah, but I don’t think Johnny’s in the basement any more.
He can’t do any worse than Capitol recording artist, Mrs. Miller.

I never liked him in the least. He couldn't sing, and his politics were indefensible, making his lyrics as bad as his singing. He still can't sing. Why anyone would want to listen to him singing someone else's songs is beyond me.
In Before, Dylan Can’t Sing.
Too late!
Check out Mrs Miller's rendition of "The Girl From Ipanema".
I nearly wet my pants while listening.
OMG, that’s awful. I’ll stick to Frank.
