I love Christmas music, and I love Bob Dylan, but I'm a little worried about this one.

Given how Bob's voice has gotten a little more, uh, gruff with his last few releases, I'm really curious to see how this turns out. Has he been faking the blues voice for so many years, and will return to a smooth 'Nashville Skyline' sound creating a classic equivalent too Bing, Sinatra, or Nat King Cole?
I'm betting it won't, but I may be pleasantly surprised. At the very least, the proceeds are going to a great cause. I've already warned Mrs. Merkinball and the kids that we'll be picking this up. Maybe I'll warn the kids that for each time they want to listen to the Chipmunks Christmas album, I get to listen to Dylans (I'll call him the Anti-Chipmunk!).

"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

It's definitely Bob. Gruff and Nasal. I HATE Christmas songs, but I would listen to that album from November to February if I could."If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit." - Mitch Hedberg0
