Bob Dylan - "Wall-to-Wall Jesus!"

The musician’s latest addition to the Bootleg series, ‘Trouble No More’,
reveals a period of his life from 1979 to 1981 when he converted to evangelical Christianity,
which is reflected in songs such as ‘I Believe in You’ and ‘When He Returns’

Inside Bob Dylan's Jesus Years




"I had no idea it was going to be wall-to-wall Jesus!"
laughs legendary record producer Jerry Wexler in a new documentary,
Inside Bob Dylan's Jesus Years.

Wexler was discussing Slow Train Coming, Dylan's 1979 album that was both revered and reviled. Dylan's conversion to Christianity—and the three evangelically minded albums that followed—shocked the music world so completely that it remains one of the most provocative and disputed periods in the icon's storied history.

One of Dylan's backup singers tells how Dylan had his entire band and crew spend time in prayer before each show. And Dylan himself sums it up in one archival interview snippet from the era: "You heard it here: Jesus is Lord."
