The Roving Gamblers - Number one Bob Dylan fansite

Dylan (pictured right here in Jerusalem) felt uncomfortable with the way his career was panning out. Without his wife Sara, he felt somewhat empty. The album Street Legal was released to mixed reviews, and it seemed like Dylan was searching for something to make him complete. He decided to go on tour.
	Dylan toured, and one night in San Francisco, a fan threw a cross on the stage. This struck a chord with Dylan, who took it as a sign from God. He went straight to the studio and began to record "Slow Train Coming", an album filled with gospel styled Christian songs, including "Slow Train Coming" "I believe in you" and "Precious Angel".
Dylan took these songs on tour almost straight away. Instead of playing his old favourite hits, Dylan concentrated solely on his new Christian material, much to the disdain of his fans. Dylan even began to preach and read from the bible in between songs. Fans were disappointed that their hero who had once warned "Don't follow leaders" was now preaching "You're gonna have to serve somebody".
