I never thought I'd say this but Bob's Gospel period from 79-81 is by far my favourite live wise. Obviously the bible, spirituality, redemption and transcendence runs through all his work but this time in particular just hits me straight in the heart.

The Saved album was a masterpiece of faith and spiritual growth. Some critics were to blind to comprehend it. I imagine they still are.
@toddhyatt47785 жыл бұрын
Dear Pat: You can say that again. Look at the reviews of "Trouble No More," the magnificent collection of 100 songs from Bob's intense three-year evangelical phase, which came out in November 2017. Almost every review says the same damn thing as all the others -- and the same damn thing that nearly all the critics, in their infinite wisdom, said of the three Christian albums upon their release. With few exceptions, it's one cliche or platitude after another -- as though all these idiot-journalists are shouting into the same echo chamber. Which, of course, they are. Do they crib from one another? Such reprehensible blinkered criticism. And forty years on they're saying the same damn things. Media people are the most conformist, most rigid, most narrow-minded dolts in the country and in the Western world. Dylan was right to expect hostility to his message, elements of which had existed in his art all along. Bob's so-called fans and followers turned on him faster than you can shout "Judas!" But you get it, Pat, as do several other pilgrims here. Ours can be a lonesome path, but for Dylan and us there can be no other. We've taken the detours, and they're all dead ends. So we press on, trusting that we stay on the one true path.

@@toddhyatt4778 Dylan has always been willing to go against the grain and walk the bitter dance of loneliness. a prophet is never welcomed in his own town...he did later get a grammy for slow train & nobel prize he may have a million people at his feet but all he sees are dark eyes. i personally love the band ,especially on Are you resdy. Dylan also had an encounter with Christ where he was told America is under judgement and Christ is coming soon..hence the intensity. years earlier hed written its not to stand naked under unknowing eyes but for myself and friends these songs did i write

Heard this song for the first time at 75 years old thanks to the miracle of You Tube! Have been listening to Bob's Gospel years songs for a long time, but was unaware of his Black Gospel creations. Love his piano duet version of "Abraham, Martin and John" with Clydie King that he performed at the end of his concerts which I became aware of on KZbin, but unaware of Pressing On and a few others. Read that he would end each concert playing the piano with his Black backup singers. Such an emotional song. Bob has an unbelievable God given talent that is one of a kind!

Dear Michael: Precisely, Michael. Well said. But you might be surprised how many former devotees of Dylan reviled him for his message of renewal and salvation -- and consequently tuned out the "voice of a generation." Or maybe you wouldn't be surprised, since you've probably seen it a thousand times. To all secular Bob Dylan fans: "Yes, non-believers, you can appreciate Bob's Christian corpus. You can remain true to your atheism while listening to the gospel music. So sit back and enjoy the show. And cool it." I don't suppose that they'd pay any attention.
