Bob Dylan will release a surprise new album in April, it's been revealed.

The as-yet-untitled studio project is the follow-up to 2006's 'Modern Times'.

According to Rolling Stone, the album features ten tracks recorded alongside Dylan's band and special guests, including Los Lobos' David Hidalgo.

The full tracklisting has yet to be confirmed, although song titles include 'My Wife's Home Town' and 'Beyond Here Lies Nothing'.

Dylan's new album follows the recent release of his outtakes collection 'Tell Tale Signs'.
