What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Bob's nineteenth album and his first after becoming a born again christian. Yes the religious injections
are plentiful, which was a turn off for many. Didn't bother me. Much better than the work leading up to
Blood On The Tracks. The christian nature of the album probably alienated a lot of existing fans but may
have drawn in some new ones. The album has made the list of The 100 Great Albums In Christian Music.
Nothing I don't like and love five of the nine tracks. Single of Gotta Serve Somebody won Dylan a Grammy
for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. He had become a fan of Mark Knopfler who has a guest spot on the
album, along with Dire Straits drummer Pick Withers. That's the only names I am familiar with. Recorded in
Alabama's Muscle Shoals studio after some L.A. rehearsals. The album was another hit for Bob, going #3 in
the US, #2 in the Uk, and #1 in Australia. Only one clip available, what a surprise.
