I am by no means a religious or spiritual person; however, I am amazed by some of the music that Dylan was putting out during his "Christian phase." I attended a few concerts during those years. I did not like the Christian message, but loved the energy. His mid- to late-1981 concerts were an interesting mix of Christian stuff and his earlier "secular" songs. This is to say that I am finally getting up the nerve to listen to the Sony/Columbia "Bootleg Series Vol. 13" of Dylan releases. I have to say that it is fascinating. This is brilliant. Penn Jillette (the magician, comedian, etc.) wrote very moving notes for this release. I don't agree with all his points, but they are interesting, heartfelt, and personal. I heartily recommend either the 2-CD version or, if you are a Dylan enthusiast, the Deluxe version (8 CDs plus a DVD). Again, I am not a religious person, but this is powerful musical art.
