A Dylan Christmas album? Really?

dylanxmas

If I were to compose a list of things I can do without, a Christmas album by Bob Dylan would be on the list, if the thought of such a thing ever crossed my mind, that is.

I might be able to get my brain around it if it were all original Dylan compositions, but horror of horrors, it’s an album of covers. And, did I mention that I hate Christmas music?

Here’s the track list:

  • 1. Here Comes Santa Claus
  • 2. Do You Hear What I Hear?
  • 3. Winter Wonderland
  • 4. Hark The Herald Angels Sing
  • 5. I’ll Be Home For Christmas
  • 6. Little Drummer Boy
  • 7. The Christmas Blues
  • 8. Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)
  • 9. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
  • 10. Must Be Santa
  • 11. Silver Bells
  • 12. The First Noel
  • 13. Christmas Island
  • 14. The Christmas Song
  • 15. Little Town Of Bethlehem
  • I know it sounds like a bad joke, but in his defense, it’s a charity project with Dylan donating all of his royalties to Feeding America. Learn more about it here.
