John Wilson looks back to 79 when Dylan embraced Christianity & released a Gospel album

John Wilson looks back at 1979 when Dylan embraced Christianity, released a Gospel album and refused to perform his old material live. 


John Wilson looks back to 1979 when once again Bob Dylan marked the end of a decade by making some major changes in his life and career. He embraced Christianity, spent several months in Bible School and recorded a Gospel album, Slow Train Coming. When he tried to evangelize Jerry Wexler in the studio, the wily producer replied 'Bob, you're dealing with a sixty-two-year-old confirmed Jewish atheist. I'm hopeless. Let's just make an album'.

To the frustration of some of his fans, subsequent concerts were all-Gospel events. Dylan refused to play any of his old material, tended to give sermons between songs - even dismissing hecklers who demanded rock-n-roll with the words. 'You wanna rock-n-roll you can go down and rock-n-roll. You can go see Kiss and you rock-n-roll all your way down to the pit.'

As we look back over 2009 in music, we compare it to 1969 and find a number of parallels between the two pivotal years - and hear from Iggy Pop, Led Zeppelin and The Jacksons.

As we look back over 2009 in music, we compare it to 1969 and find a number of parallels between the two pivotal years. In '69 The Stooges set the Punk Rock ball rolling, the Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin release debuts, and Dave Grohl is born. In '09 Iggy Pop appears in a distinctly un-punk insurance advert, Michael Jackson's death dominates the news arena, and Grohl and Zep bassist John Paul Jones team up to create the supergroup of the decade. We look back over both years and explore these connections - and more. With 6 Music's music journalist supremos Julie Cullen and Matt Everitt.
