TEMPEST
Tempest is the thirty-fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on September 10, 2012 by Columbia Records. The album was recorded at Jackson Browne’s Groove Masters Studios in Santa Monica, California. Dylan wrote all of the songs himself with the exception of the track “Duquesne Whistle”, which he co-wrote with Robert Hunter. Tempest received universal acclaim from music critics, who praised its traditional music influences and Dylan’s dark lyrics. The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200.

Al Kasha, who takes credit for leading Dylan to Jesus, is a Messianic Jew (and that might be the best way to describe Dylan himself actually). On the blog Godreports, Al Kasha discusses Dylan’s 2012 album, Tempest (his most recent studio album): “I am absolutely thrilled that Bob has shown through this new record that he has never lost God’s calling in life. He’s never given up. I get upset when people think that he has because you don’t write all these songs just out there. It takes time to write them and they’re all about Christ, so I’ve said this in the past — the media has hurt rather than helped him.”
