Saved is singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's 20th studio album, released by Columbia Records in June 1980. Saved was Dylan's second album to follow his conversion to born-again Christianity, explored on the album's predecessor (1979's well-received Slow Train Coming). Every song on the album is about strong personal faith and features heavy gospel influences; unlike the previous record, many critics dismissed Saved for its dogmatic songs and bombastic arrangements. While it still made a healthy #3 in the UK, it only managed #24 during a brief chart stay in the US and never went gold. CCM Magazine described the album as an "open declaration of Dylan's deepening faith."[1]
