In 1983 Bob Dylan was under threat from his record company after recording three straight albums of overtly Christian music. He recorded what album, which contained the single "Jokerman" as a response? It marked his return to mainstream rock.

Produced by Mark Knopfler and Dylan himself, Infidels is seen as his return to secular music, following a conversion to Christianity and three evangelical, Gospel records. Though Infidels is often cited as a return to secular work (following a trio of albums heavily influenced by born-again Christianity), many of the songs recorded during the Infidels sessions are filled with Biblical references and strong religious imagery, although this is not terribly new ground for Dylan. The most explicit example of this can be found on the opening track, "Jokerman". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infidels Jul 27 08, 7:32 AM
