Slow Train Coming

Bob Dylan

A sharp pivot into evangelical gospel rock. Polished Muscle Shoals production meets Mark Knopfler's clean guitar work and a newfound, fiery spiritual conviction.

Find on Amazon

It's the one where Dylan finds Jesus and hires Dire Straits to help him tell you about it.

A fiery, uncompromising spiritual conviction wrapped in warm, professional R&B grooves.

Moments Worth Waiting For
Mark Knopfler's crystalline guitar fills weaving through the gospel backing vocals on Precious Angel.
The sudden, stark transition to solo piano and raw vocal vulnerability on the closing track When He Returns.
The relentless, chugging groove of the title track that mimics the steady momentum of a locomotive.
