Dylan has always been full of surprises. About ten years ago many devoted (albeit retired) 60s folkies, groovy professors and pseudo-awakened college students opened up Nashville Skyline and discovered that Dylan had changed his voice. Now Dylan has changed his personality, and his new gospel permeates every cut except...
