"We Took It to the Church"

"To wit: 'I'll Be Your Baby Tonight' is less about finding Jesus than it is finding some lovin'. But that doesn't make this rendition any less magnetic. Filled with conga rhythms and call-and-response joy, the recording is a vivid reworking. 'My Back Pages' too is an uplifting rendition of Dylan, recollected with piano, pipe organ and an overflowing spirituality. 'I Shall Be Released' sounds descended from above."


Randall Roberts in the Los Angeles Times revisits the recently re-released 1969 album Dylan's Gospel by the Brothers and Sisters.
