Re: Bob Dylan ..Christmas album

Don't think it'll be on my christmas list either. This is what Mojo said

'Overall, it's without a doubt the most minor and oddest record in Bob's canon. The 15 selections are all straightforward Christmas standards and there's a cognitive dissonance on hearing He Who Gargles With Battery Acid backed by what sound like the Anita Kerr Singers. That Dylan's voice is shot (albeit poignantly so) isn't as glaring when he sings If You Ever Go To Houston; it's when he attempts Winter Wonderland. And throughout Christmas In The Heart Dylan makes Tom Waits sound like Antony Hegarty.'

I think it's brilliant that Dylan is still unpredictable, enigmatic and consistently infuriating critics' expectations at 68. He released an album earlier this year with very little promotion, and every writer was scratching their heads because... 'it's Dylan! Shouldn't he be acting like a superstar?!'

I'll give the album a listen. It'll probably be awful, but I admire the nerve.
