Bob does Christmas. Weird but never-the-less fascinating.
This song is from his new CD Christmas in the Heart.
During this holiday season, Bob Dylan’s immediate donations from the Christmas In The Heart proceeds will provide 500,000 meals to school children in the developing world through the World Food Programme, 15,000 meals to homeless people in the United Kingdom through Crisis and more than 4 million meals to 1.4 million families in America through Feeding America.
You really haven’t heard the Christmas classics until you’ve heard them ‘Bob style’. I’m a huge Dylan fan but after listening to some snippets from the album I can’t really see myself playing this album when all the family gathers at our place on Christmas day. It’s an acquired taste.
How’s this for a song list?

I love Dylan. I loved his most recent previous release, ‘Together Through Life,’ although from (positive) reviews I’d read, I didn’t think that I would. But I’ve listened to the tracks from the new Christmas collection and all I can say is that this turned out to be every bit as bad as I thought it would be when I first heard about it.
Maybe Bob did this for his grandchildren. But I don’t think that it’s destined to become a Christmas classic.
