About this album

Slow Train Coming is Bob Dylan’s striking late-70s reinvention, where his songwriting turns openly evangelical without losing bite or authority. Recorded in 1979 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and produced by Jerry Wexler with Barry Beckett, the album pairs Dylan’s hard-edged lyrics with a polished gospel, soul and R&B backdrop. Gotta Serve Somebody became a major hit and won the Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male, while songs such as Slow Train and I Believe in You underline the record’s mix of conviction, tension and melodic force. It remains one of Dylan’s most talked-about and distinctive albums.
