  • We Say...

    Dylan's second Christian album retraces rock's path through R&B to gospel — he's got a handful of soul veterans in the band, and "Solid Rock" grooves like nothing else he's recorded. The lyrics are undiluted born-again dogma, which shocked fans who were used to Dylan's don't-follow-leaders irreverence. But a lot of these songs make more musical sense if you consider them as a Dylanization of the black gospel of the '40s and '50s.

  • They Say...

    A vastly underappreciated celebration of the faith with traditional black gospel approach on original Dylan songs that, along with the exclusively gospel concerts he was giving at the time, scared his long-term fans and record company half to death, but really ended up being a lovingly done one-shot that featured a classic, "What Can I Do for You?"
