Infidels: Listen to the full conversation in the player above. Infidels followed a trilogy of Christian-themed albums — 1979's Slow Train Coming, 1980's Saved and 1981's Shot of Love — and is often noted as Dylan's return to secular music. Produced by Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, this eight-song collection touches on politics, aging, and love through rockers and ballads. Amy says that it was "the guitar that drew me in first and the messages in the record."  "I hadn't really thought about unions or the politics of corporate America," continues Ray, citing "Union Sundown" as a song th...
