Legacy

Bob Dylan is an iconic American singer-songwriter, poet, and cultural figure. With a career spanning over six decades, he has been influential in the realms of folk, rock, and Americana music. Known for his distinctive voice, poetic lyrics, and protest songs, Dylan has been a voice for social change and a symbol of counterculture. His songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Like a Rolling Stone," have become anthems for generations.

Perhaps it was inevitable that Bob Dylan would change direction at the end of the '70s. 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. Still, it's hard to deny Dylan's revitalized sound here, and the result is a success.
