Over the past ten years, I've dipped my toes into the vast ocean that is Bob Dylan's discography. I'm no scholar, and I've barely scratched the surface of his essential works, so keep that in mind when I say that "Saved" is one of my favorite Dylan albums out of the couple dozen I've explored. A significant part of its appeal for me is the Christian themes—it's always uplifting to hear someone glorify the God who's transformed my life and blessed me with so much goodness. However, "Saved" isn't just a collection of Bob Dylan songs influenced by Christianity (for that, check out "Shot of Love," much of "Slow Train Coming," and even "Infidels"). Instead, it's an album where Bob Dylan writes as a Christian, drawing heavily from the well of American gospel music, both black and white. You can hear the familiar tropes: recurring themes, songs sparked by a single powerful idea or biblical verse, lyrics delivered in tight, rhythmic couplets and quatrains (much like traditional folk songs), and, of course, those irresistible, foot-stomping choruses. Perhaps some of the criticism stems from Dylan's bold move to let the conventions of a specific style—classic American Protestant hymnody—shape his songwriting. Naturally, this might disorient listeners expecting a typical Dylan Record, with all its usual virtues and flaws. But in my opinion, Dylan triumphs in creating a fantastic gospel album, with tracks that deserve eternal life. And any vocal aficionado will agree that Dylan's singing during his Christian period is among his best, possibly the best: his breath control is impeccable, his high notes are spot on, and his nasal voice is honed into a fiery growl that perfectly suits the material. In a nutshell: approach "Saved" as a gospel album rather than a Bob Dylan oddity, and you might just fall in love with it too.
This album is fantastic, although it could use a bit more bass. It still sounds amazing, though. It's a bummer that the remastered CD isn't sold separately and is only available in the box set "The Complete Album Collection Vol. One." I really hope they decide to release it as a standalone CD.
Average re-release, lacks depth and feels squashed. My advanced copy outperforms this one by a mile.
After being let down by the recent reissue, I picked up this promo version and it's a whole new ball game. Just by looking at the grooves side by side, it's clear as day that the reissue is squashed to bits. If you're into this often overlooked era of Dylan, go for an original copy, it's worth it.
Happy to own this Australian 1980 version. It sounds amazing and the tracks are outstanding.
