Thirty years after it was made, this collection still has a powerful and fresh anointing. I play it in my car during my commute and it lifts my day. Since the Lord is not limited by time and space, the special anointing of this album is always "now." Mark Knopfler is outstanding on guitar and the perfect foil for Bob Dylan's sold-out-in-love-with-the-Lord lyrics and vocals. I love this album.

Slow Train Coming being Dylan's 1979 release and his 19th studio album and it is very good album. Dylan's lyrics are laden with his at the time new found faith. Gotta serve somebody is a great track and he sings with such conviction that one can not help but to be moved his faith. The book-let is a mixed bag with an ok cover, very sparse information and an ok photo of Dylan. To my big surprise this was a record that included Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits playing guitar. 4/5.

As a huge Dylan fan and an even bigger Knopfler fan, this ranks as one of my all time favourite Dylan albums. You have got the usual brilliance of Dylan's songwriting along with Knopfler's own style of guitar in the background makes this a very enjoyable album. Highlights to me include Precious Angel, Slow Train and the quite funny Man Gave Names To All The Animals. If you enjoy this album, and yuo don't already have it, grab Infidels next.

This is a great religious album by Mr. Dylan. He has always been a great song writer, but throws a little different perspective in on christianity than what I was used to. I have enjoyed this album everytime I hear it. I don't skip any of the songs.

Someone said one time that Bob Dylan was the spoksman for his generation. Not true! No one speaks for this generation,we speak for ourselves, one at a time. Zimmy speaks for himself like the rest of us but unlike the rest of us he is a master of words and rhythm. I consider this album as close as he has gotten to the universals of Americans in the late 20th Century. Can he keep it up in the 21st? I for one would certainly love to see him try. He has my respect. Oh and by the way, this is the only album of his I own. You should try it.
