Evangelical Dylan
His lyrics are awesome. You know, Bob Dylan is one of the most prolific songwriters of this generation. Another great thing: when someone covers one of his songs, many times it turns out even better. For example: "Highway 61 Revisited" by Johnny Winter, and "Like a Rolling Stone" by Jimi Hendrix. Here he is at his Evangelical best.


A few gems on what is probably the least heard Dylan album - ever


Too bad, much of the Dylan "spiritual" era was panned so readily & harshly by critics in the 80s. Great raw band material, musically, not unlike Joe Cocker / Leon Russell. So many fans were told that there was an either/or choice that had to be made. Yet, this material dovetails very nicely with Dylans older music. Though, he extends and develops in much more detail, the Biblical imagery, themes of justice, etc that were present in is earliest music to ones of redemption & life application of Chrisianity.

Few people can write with such lyrical density & fire as Dylan, and that is still true here.

Saved
Dylan sings with conviction in his faith and most of the songs lyrics deal with his personal faith. Saved being Dylan's 1980 release is a very good record. Songs such as Saved, In the Garden and Saving Grace are some really nice tracks. The cover art is quite ok but nothing special. The photo on the back is quite nice. Overall I give this album 4/5!

WOW!
Dylan, by his own account in Chronicles," has always been chasing something that might lead to a more lit place. I recently found "Saved" and was blown-away by its sincerity and depth of emotion. " When he found what he was looking for, he had to write and sing it. The album came from within, but was also the Voice of Heaven. Are you listening to the drums, or to the
truth in the lyrics? If you believe there is a God, just know that He speaks. And He has chosen Bob Dylan.


Excellent
Too bad radio did not really pick them up and I guess it was too much and too unexpected a source, but the songs remain and were there for me and my friends then and still are now. Bob Dylan's christian phase produced four albums of unmistakeably high quality and profound message.

Pick up Slow Train, Saved, Shot of Love, and Infidels and have a listen, you will be most impressed. It's Bobby alright, at this very best.
