Yeah, soulful's a good word to describe it. It's surprisingly funky in places, or at least much funkier than you'd expect a Dylan album to be, like on Gotta Serve Somebody for instance. There's the odd interesting smattering of gospel around it too. As I say, musically it's a very good, and I never really had a problem with Dylan's voice on it. It's just that the Christian message in the lyrics becomes a bit too overbearing for my tastes here and there. I'd still recommend it to anyone as a good album though.
