Slow train coming

Dylan, Bob

Beskrivning:

Bob Dylan har gjort en del tvära kast i sin karriär och med detta album överraskade han alla genom att framträda som en kristen fundamentalist. Det skulle komma fler svängningar i Dylans karriär...

Inspelad i Muscle Shoals-studion med bl a Mark Knopfler på gitarr.

"Perhaps it was inevitable that Bob Dylan would change direction at the end of the '70s, since he had dabbled in everything from full-on repudiation of his legacy to a quiet embrace of it, to dipping his toe into pure showmanship. Nobody really could have expected that he would turn to Christianity on Slow Train Coming, embracing a born-again philosophy with enthusiasm. He has no problem in believing in a vengeful god -- you gotta serve somebody, after all -- and this is pure brimstone and fire throughout the record, even on such lovely testimonials as "I Believe in You." The unexpected side effect of his conversion is that it gave Dylan a focus he hadn't had since Blood on the Tracks, and his concentration carries over to the music, which is lean and direct in a way that he hadn't been since, well, Blood on the Tracks. Focus isn't necessarily the same thing as consistency, and this does suffer from being a bit too dogmatic, not just in its religion, but in its musical approach. Still, it's hard to deny Dylan's revitalized sound here, and the result is a modest success that at least works on its own terms." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com)
