I heard parts of this on the radio today and it IS awesome. I had forgotten about his inability to carry a tune.

I REALLY like Bob Dylan. He is his own man, and that is rare these days.

Now if only Dylan could sing.....
Dylan's real talent was always in his writing. Performing a bunch of tunes someone else wrote is like having Monet reproduce the Mona Lisa in paint-by-numbers.

Well done!
My first thought was at least Bob Dylan is singing Christmas songs, instead of Ramadan chants like Cat Stevens.
BTW, from the article, it’s Nat King Cole’s “Christmas Song”. That’s the one mom listened to!

Does he sing any Christmas songs that actually deal with the real meaning of Christmas instead of a guy in a red suit?

He does hit each note eventually. Somewhere in that rocky slide up and down the musical register that makes up his musical phrasing he always trips past the right note—or something approximating it.

Mel Torme co-wrote that song.

Captain, where is your sense of humor? I can guarantee you I am smoking nothing whatsoever, but I found the songs I heard parts of this morning to be entertaining in the extreme, in that they were SO BAD. As a child, I was tormented annually by the Mitch Miller Chorus version of “Must be Santa.” It left a permanent mark, in that neither I nor my sister can hear that song without laughing. Please lighten up. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. But please don’t try to deprive those of us with long Dylan memories of this hilarious compilation.

The review is hilarious. Always have considered Dylan overrated. Wrote some good lyrics — but, then, so did guys like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Dylan benefited from being part of the Baby Boomer anti-war culture. Give me “Proud to be an Okie from Muskogee” any day of the week.

Mel wrote it, so it’s his song.

“Mel Torme co-wrote that song.”
I know. And Mel’s cover of the song is very good.
I was just going nostolgic with memories of mom listening to Nat King Cole’s version. So, as far as I’m concerned, it’s Nat King Cole’s song!

Too many drugs and old age have come on this man. He should retire and think things over.

Bob’s Jewish. I don’t think he will be singing “Joy to the World”................
