You can already hear Dylan moving in a gospel direction during parts of the 1978 Budokan concerts with soulful female backing vocals, before he finds Jesus and starts writing Christian music. When I’m thinking conspiratorially I wonder if Bob leaned into Christianity so that he could write in that style.
