View More By Bob Dylan Our ReviewSlow Train Coming marks one of the most beguiling turns in Bob Dylan’s career, as he embraced born-again Christianity after experiencing divine intervention at a tour stop in Tucson, Arizona. While Dylan’s strict, non-ironic religious conversion alienated much of his longtime fanbase Slow Train Coming shows that his newfound convictions weren’t so much a reinvention of his identity as a new prism through which Dylan continues to examine his lifelong themes. “I Believe In You” describes overwhelming romantic love even if it was written as a devotional hymn. By the same token, “Slow Train” describes the looming terror of the modern world with as much detail and frustration as “A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall.” Producer Jerry Wexler brings a bluesy, moody feel to the album, aided by Mark Knopfler’s guitar and Barry Beckett’s keyboards. Despite the album’s overtly Christian leanings, Slow Train Coming succeeds on a balance of accessibility (the Jackson Browne soundalike “Precious Angel”) and vulnerability (“When He Returns,” which features some of the most emotionally naked singing of Dylan’s career).. Customer ReviewsOutstanding. (5 stars)Obviously, he's always going to get trash for this and it's similar albums. And all I can say in response to that is, what a shame. A lot of people will go around with their little rants and conspiracy theories about how Dylan being a Christian was just a "phase" or some excuse he used to get out of the spotlight, and it simply isn't true. These songs truly mean something and show that he did have a change of heart about many thin Dylan Captures The Heart Of Faith And Conviction... (5 stars) People will review this album with their own biases and prejudices. I have my own, but the truth is that this was nominated for a Grammy, and I believe it won. I saw Bob Dylan on the tour for "Slow Train Coming" at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Bob had just come from San Francisco and commented that the audience was more receptive and forgiving in Los Angeles (to his "Gospel-Only" performance). I hear that he got Musical Marker of "faithfulness in your youth" (5 stars) This album brings tears to my eyes, pleasure to my ears, hope in my heart. I don't know where Bob Dylan stands now, but this music meant alot to me in my youth. May he be reminded of the joy we have when are at peace with God, and restored to a place of faith. BiographyBorn: May 24, 1941 in Duluth, MNGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Bob Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-consciousness narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notion that a singer must have a conventionally good voice in order to perform, thereby redefining the vocalist's role in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock....
