Cultural Facts:

1. Political Science: Slow Train Coming was Dylan’s full jump into born-again Christian songwriting, swapping cryptic folk-rock mystery for direct gospel warnings and spiritual urgency.
2. Studio Lore: Mark Knopfler’s clean guitar tone and the Muscle Shoals rhythm section gave the album a slick, soulful sound instead of a stripped-down sermon feel.
3. Media Narrative: “Gotta Serve Somebody” won Dylan a Grammy, but the album also shocked longtime fans who weren’t expecting one of rock’s great shape-shifters to go gospel.
