Dylan's Ho Ho Ho

You never know with Bob Dylan. There's not much humor in his Christmas album. It's all played pretty safe. But there is something going on. It's Dylan, it's a Christmas album. Come on, he's winking at us with a sly smile. Christmas In The Heart may not replace your old Nat King Cole or Elvis albums, but it's better than expected. Tossed off in his usual recorded manner, Dylan sounds better here than he did on his last studio album. It's all for charity, but as someone who doesn't buy many Christmas albums anymore, it's a welcome addition.
