Slow Train Coming was listed at #16 in the 2001 book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ve also got a special treat lined up today!\u00a0 Bob might not be in there for his Nobel today, but he&#8217;s no stranger to Sweden, so we&#8217;re going to play <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DylanRadio\/status\/806459596831395840\" target=\"_blank\">a few of his best concerts in Nobel-land<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DylanRadio\/status\/806459596831395840\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2193\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dylanradio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Nobel-Concerts-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"nobel-concerts\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.dylanradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Nobel-Concerts-300x167.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.dylanradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Nobel-Concerts-768x428.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.dylanradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Nobel-Concerts-1024x571.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.dylanradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Nobel-Concerts.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tune in tonight at 7pm Atlantic for Tonight&#8217;s Listening Party Album: Slow Train Coming (6pm Eastern, 5pm Central, 3pm Pacific, 11pm London, 10am Sydney) Slow Train Coming is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 20, 1979 by Columbia Records.
