What do you think about them?
As far as Christian rock albums go, I think they're stellar,. But yeah, as far as Dylan albums as a whole go they're slightly less than mediocre. I do love the sound that Jerry Wexler and The Muscle Shoals Horns managed to produce on Slow Train Coming. Saved is easily the lesser of the two albums and I'll admit I only heard it enough times to know that I don't care for it. Iy was a very brief, but interesting segment of Dylan's career, considering that he became a born again Christian long enough to kick heroin and put out two christian albums. There's a very lengthy and obscure documentary that was made regarding this period of Dylan's life almost exclusively. I can't remember the name to save the life of me, but it was very good.
