One of the caveats attached by Bob Dylan to his one and only interview in support of new album Shadows in the Night was that 50,000 copies of the Feb. 3 CD be freely distributed. And so, next week, that number of randomly chosen AARP The Magazine subscribers will receive something very special in the mail: a plastic-wrapped copy of the February/March issue with Dylan’s collection of “Great American Songbook” interpretations bundled within.

It was Dylan’s idea to leverage AARP’s vast and well-matched magazine audience on behalf of his 36th album, featuring covers of compositions that date back to the 1920s.
