Thanks to New York magazine, we get listening snippets of Bob Dylan's first holiday album at this link. The short article is pure snark, and well, it's not wholly out of place, as the snippets reveal a heavily produced album featuring some definitely retro backup singing over a bed of Americana/country instrumentation. Song selection is pretty conventional too, and Dylan sounds, well, like Dylan. On the other hand, this 2009 album is intended to benefit a hunger charity, and if he's sincere about being helpful he's probably going to make this as wildly commercial as possible. Still, "Must Be Santa" is great fun no matter which side you come down on.
