Bob Dylan- SAVED- CD- 1980/2003- Sony Music Entertainment Inc.- 5099703274226- 400 grn
SAVED is the twentieth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on 23rd June 1980, by Columbia Records. SAVED was the second album of Dylan's "Christian Trilogy". It expanded on themes explored on its predecessor Slow Train Coming, with gospel arrangements and lyrics extolling the importance of a strong personal faith. The cover of SAVED originally featured a painting by Tony Wright of Jesus Christ's hand reaching down to touch the hands of his believers. However, this cover was subsequently replaced by a painting of Dylan on stage performing during that time period in order to downplay the overtly religious nature of the original cover. It has since been changed back on some re-releases. A quote inside the sleevenotes reads: ''Behold, the days come, sayeth the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah''. If SAVED did anything, it proved that the born-again Christianity of Slow Train Coming wasn't merely a passing fad, and that it did, in fact, mean something significant to Dylan. This is where his religion overshadows his music, turning the album into a sermon to an audience that is nearly certainly unconverted - and never will be, either. Dylan himself may be part of that audience, since he did back away from such a staunchly dogged viewpoint not long afterward, but that doesn't change SAVED's status as being a fairly flat - and, for Dylan, fairly pedestrian - testament to his faith. And, if Slow Train Coming found him at a fairly creative peak of songwriting and supported by a supple backing band, he's turning out routine songs here, and the backing follows suit, resulting in his flattest record yet.

Bob Dylan’s 1979 album Slow Train Coming surprised everybody by declaring that he had become a born-again Christian. Many suspected that it was just another of his unpredictable left turns, but he nonetheless double-downed with its follow-up, SAVED. Slow Train Coming suffered from the stodgy tastefulness of guitarist Mark Knopfler and drummer Pick Withers, both Dire Straits members and both seemingly out of their element. SAVED instead relied on the keyboards of R&B veteran Spooner Oldham and ace session drummer Jim Keltner. The result was looser, with a more authentic gospel feel – particularly on “Covenant Woman” and the rollicking title track – that made it the most listenable album of Dylan's "Born-Again-Trilogy". Still, the songs remain stuck in the same preachy mire that affected Slow Train Coming. The best religious songs reach even non-believers. Dylan’s strong vocals reveal commitment to his faith, but outside of “Pressing On” and “In The Garden”, there’s little in the lyrics that can be called emotionally moving. Dylan released one more album during his born-again phase, 1981’s Shot Of Love, which combined more religious songs — including “Every Grain Of Sand", the best song to come from this entire period — with a tentative return to secular themes. From there, he got back to doing what he does best with Infidels before releasing a string of weak albums that lasted throughout most of the '80s until he found his voice again with The Traveling Wilburys in 1988 and his own Oh Mercy a year later.
