| Got a chance to hear his covers. With Bob it's sure a "raspy" Yuletide coming over the sound system! |

What is your review?

lk....Look this is my opinion. I had a bit of a time linking him up with the old yuletide season. Bob singing the carols to me is jarring to say the least! I don't know. I guess after all these years I'm programmed to hear Dylan in a certain way! But again maybe if I listened more his approach to Christmas songs wouldn't upset my Dylan "apple cart"... |

Ya..I hear you.....just not quite right for our Dylan sensibilities....maybe something like--"It's Alright, Santa, I'm Only Bleeding" or "Stuck Outside of Macy's With The North Pole Blues Again"....

Ha! I got the CD as soon as it was out. I love it. I think it's great that ol' Bob sounds happy and sincere in his Christmas wishes; and the Christmas Blues is great. Yeah well, I had to clear my throat a few times while listening, but the traditional arrangements and smooth production suites me fine. (oh, and it proves that Bob can carry a tune if he wants to) Peace and holiday blessings.

Thanks. LeeRob. Remember that interview in "Dont Look Back" where Bob says he is just as good a singer as Caruso"? He said he hits all the notes he wants to, perfectly (to paraphrase). I believe him. He proved he could sing as well as anyone with "Nashville Skyline"....just didn't know he still had a voice after all those cigarettes. Kinda like Tom Waits when he proves he can still sing some very moving, well sung tunes.
Missing the notes perfectly is as much of an art as singing them perfectly.....but then Bob never missed a note, he sang them just the way he wanted them to be sung.

LeeRob...."happy and sincere"
Yeah, and it looks like he's mellowed by doing the songs. I don't know. I'm wondering now if this gets so popular he may entertain doin' "Hava Nagila" on piano, with a chorus and dancers. Now that could be a hit!.. |

rocker, actually he did H-N on an old boot. It's a hoot, he yodels, Woody-style at the end.
LK - Yea, anyone who wants to see the "old," Bob Dylan these days will have to adjust to the "new-" est Bob Dylan. He's just as great as ever; very blusey and doin' it just the way he wants to; just as you said.
Okay, okay, it might be phleghm-rock, but it's REAL phlegm-rock :)
