"A new Bob Dylan record is an event. Bob is that rare artist whose music defies all trends and resonates throughout all levels of our culture, and he continues to be as contemporary and relevant as any artist in music, Columbia Chairman Steve Barnett said.
The album was recorded during the winter, Columbia said.
It will be made available for digital downloads the same it is released to retail stores.
