Just like centuries of extremely talented artists and craftsmen depicted the crucifixion in obscenely beautiful ways - the whole time, obsessing over how the better man was murdered so that they might gain undeserved reward from his torture and execution.
I suppose I would call Dylan's stuff in the early 1980s Gospel. Some of the lyrics are extremely beautiful, others are stupid and self-reighteious and judgmental. What I especailly like about Saved! Shot of Love and Slow Train Coming is Mark Knopfler.
As for Bluegrass. I like that as long as it doesn't go fundamentalist Christian nonsense. Recently, for example, is Billy Strings, which you've probably heard of. Young kid with an eclectic musical influence of his father's music, flat picking like Doc Watson, and, well, naturally, Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Allman Bros. Band and Pink Floyd.
So . . . flat picking bluegrass jams with a psychedelic flair.
