Music: Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart”: Everything we imagined

  • Hearing Dylan tackle “Here Comes Santa Claus” with that voice of his is just unbelievable. You think he’s doing it ironically, but no, he’s doing it with the passion of a guy who can pull off that bizarre mustache he’s been rocking the last few years. Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times gave this album no stars. That’s how bad it is. source

Music: That Bob Dylan Christmas album now has a cover

Bacon in a can

This cover looks like the kind of cover Bob Dylan would use for a Christmas album – traditional, with the air of a tongue implanted firmly in cheek. May we just say that we're actually excited about the prospect of "Christmas of the Heart" (which hits in October)? It has that appeal that the Scarlett Johansson album of Tom Waits covers did for us. source

Music: Expect mumbling: Bob Dylan is releasing a Christmas album

  • He’s Bob Dylan. He can do whatever he wants. The greatest folksinger that ever lived is currently holed up in Jackson Browne’s recording studio putting together what’s sure to be the most bizarre Christmas album ever. Four songs are already done: “Must Be Santa,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Now … not that we don’t think this news is awesome (we do), but who would’ve expected this from Bob Dylan? Definitely not us. source
