Bob Dylan Christmas album

[Icy Gull]

I orginally thought that this was a wind up, but no Mr Zimmerman has eventually REALLY sold out or gone mad

Does anyone like this?

Its for charitt isn't it. All the reviews I have read have been pretty favourable. He does it all tongue in cheek I think. I may buy it.

His voice does not lend itself for Xmas songs it has to be said but if it's all for charity then I guess that throws a different light on it. I may also buy it but just for the novelty value of making people listen to Bob Dylan at his worst.

Yeah i have bought it ( as I do all BD's albums) and found it ok. A bit odd but he covers the songs with a good feel for the 40s and 50s that he so enjoys playing on his Theme time Radio hour. Certainly not tongue in cheek. I won't play it again until at least December, but i think it's fine and don't have a problem with it. Looking forward to playing it to all the family over christmas dinner!

Odd that a Jewish protest singer has made an album for a Christian celebration.

I'd rather he wasn't singing Hava Nagila though, so perhaps Christmas is a better option, songwise.

I look forward to his Ramadan issue.

It's not an unusual crossover though I suppose. George Harrison was all over Hare Krishna, and Carlos Santana (that's even a Catholic-sounding surname) embraced something or other that meant his changing his name to 'Devadip'

It's only appropriate to show an example of religious reference is music, with the early psychedelic sounds of Os Mutantes, who's most famous song is about the pagan idol 'Macumba'. Probably not on Dylan's radar for a future cover;

I too buy all his albums and I think it's pretty good. It sounds like he enjoyed doing it and there's some nice tracks on it. Defo worth a listen but not for everyone I'm sure..
