В противоположность предыдущим альбомам, Slow Train Coming после пассивного начала был записан довольно быстро – за шесть трехчасовых сессий на протяжении трех дней.
Первая сессия состоялась 30 апреля и была одной из самых сложных. Почти целый день был потрачен на запись Trouble in Mind — песни, которая так и не попала на альбом. Обстановка была напряженной: Джерри был недоволен излишним вокалом Дилана. „Боб с самого начала стал петь“, — говорил Векслер, — „Мы всего лишь начинали записывать ритм-секцию, было еще рано для вокала, тем не менее, он пел на каждом дубле“.
Для заключительной песни When He Returns Дилан сначала хотел отдать ведущий вокал одной из вокалисток, но после нескольких репетиций с Беккетом на рояле передумал. Около восьми дублей было сделано, прежде чем вокальная партия получилась такой, что ее можно свободно назвать „лучшим студийным вокалом Боба со времен Visions of Johanna“.
Были также записаны еще две песни, которые на пластинке не вышли — Ain't No Man Righteous и Ye Shall Be Changed.
