Bob Dylan - 'Slow Train Coming'
In this month's podcast Ben and Alex bring you one of the all time great albums, 'Slow Train Coming' by Bob Dylan.
The mystical Tambourine Man’s 19th studio album was a watershed moment in his career. Having had a conversion experience in a Tucson hotel room in November 1978 Dylan set about writing a slew of radical new songs which all testified to the truth and conviction of his new found faith.
Bringing on board veteran producers Jerry Wexler and Barry Beckett aided by Dire Straits lead guitarist and songwriter Mark Knopfler, Dylan crafted what Jann Wenner, founding editor of Rolling Stone magazine, called “one of the finest records Dylan has ever made. In time, it is possible that it might even be considered his greatest.”
Replete with apocalyptic imagery, Christocentric devotional and angry lyrics (yes), rich and beautiful vocals enhanced with Knopfler’s beguiling guitar licks, Slow Train Coming is pure, true Dylan, probably the purest and truest Dylan ever. A rare coming together of inspiration, desire and talent that completely fuse strength, vision and art.
Ladies & Gentlemen jump on board and hear the poet of rock 'n' roll. The voice of promise from the 60’s counterculture. The man who forced folk into bed with rock & became born again when his peers thought it was un-cool. The man himself. The Poet/Prophet/Singer/“SongandDanceMan”…Mr Bob Dylan!
