Mazel Tov, Mr. Zimmerman.

Haha, this is going to be sweet! Can I pre-order my vinyl now?

Thank you Bob.x

Is this an old pix or is this guy secretly married AGAIN?

this will be cool

this will be cool

this will be cool

this will be cool

Come on, Rolling Stone editors, what’s your source. This rumour has been going around for awhile. What’s your soruce, why should it be a reliable news-item?

Bob told Newsweek in 1997, upon the arrival of “Time Out Of Mind”, that he finds religion “in the music”. Enough said.

Thank you Bob we love you all over the world!

Thank You Santa and Thank You Bob… Awesome show in Fresno!!! Looking forward to Hollywood October 13.

Christmas songs: Oh dear, what will Pete seeger say?

“Rob Geurtsen” asked……..

Try bobdylan.com DUH

Gotta love Bob, he always veers off course (and creates the new road for everyone else)

Gotta love this man! He never does what you expect!

maybe DYLAN is GOD.It is very possible.Think about it.

Everything Dylan does generates a media buzz. I don’t think any other Christmas album will ever receive as much critical attention. This is great. By the way, it is probably, in part, a gift to his good friend, the producer of his radio show Eddie G. who is the world’s #1 Christmas music collector.

Rolling Stone you are the best. I like anything and everything Bob Dylan has ever done. He is a masterpiece and amazing. Saw him in Jersey and he was ON! Charity involved just gives you a glimpse into the heart of this wonder, Mr Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan is a treasure.

So is he going to sing the part of Simon, Theodore, or – hopefully – Alvin?

Sleigh Lady Sleigh?

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists most certainly as Bob Dylan. He’s given the world a lot of joy for a lot of years. Leave out a plate of cookies for him when he passes through your town.

The man is Jewish, it makes no sense

I don’t understand the confusion over being Jewish and doing Christmas songs. Didn’t stop Irving Berlin. Barbara Streisand had a great Christmas album too.

Celebrating a man who preached a message of peace seems very Bob to me, no matter what denomination he may be.

Gorgeous man.

What will Pete Seeger say?

Hmmm…how about good on you Bob for helping out starving people.

This is a very humble and generous move by Bob. I am so much more excited for this album now.

Rob Geurtsen: “what’s your source?”

Hey dumbass: visit Dylan’s website.

Then get a clue.

Harry, I hope you’re not suggesting that it doesn’t make sense for a Jew to be charitable…

Didn’t Dylan get his start by rebelling against the very people who would put out folksy li’l Christmas albums?

Irving Berlin? Streisand?

Maybe not worthy of a “JUDAS”! but certainly a WTF?

Dylan got his start rebelling against people who did folksy little Christmas albums? Not really. Dylan’s always been a bit more complex than the cliches that some folks still run to for a quick 20-second summation of nearly a half century of music and innovation.

Hey everyone: Please stop calling Rob Geurtsen a dumbass for such snotty doubting of Dylan’s Xmas album. He’s probably only 8 years old.

Good for him, I have nothing against this as long as it all goes to charity he knows most people in the west are Christians and so a Christmas album will sell a lot making more money for charity.
a good man Bob Dylan never a sell out like a lot of stars are

Dylan is THE ultimate living chronicler of American vernacular music. Like it or not, Christmas music is as much a part of this culture as Muddy Waters, Woody Guthrie or the Mississippi Sheiks. Why not?

I hope Bob Dylan’s Christmas album includes Jackson Browne’s haunting Christmas chestnut, “The Rebel Jesus”. It would be a wish come true if Bob performs the song with its gifted author. May the season be merry and bright and a joy for all.

WOW! Now THAT’S a career move! Well, can’t say I saw that coming, but if he treats those songs as he did the ones on his last three or four albums, it should be really nice to play on a snowy December night with some friends and a big vat of eggnog! I’ll buy one! Can’t get enough Dylan these days … I think he’s done some of his best work since releasing “Time Out of Mind,” so why not a Christmas disc!

Love Mr Dylan. Once played 4 straight hours of Dylan on my college radio show back in ‘69….but his voice has slipped into an almost un -intelligible gravelly sound. Very hard to listen to without wincing and wishing for earlier days……….

I work for a Food Bank in rural Northeast Tennessee. This fundraising effort is great news for the Feeding America Network of Food Banks especially here in our rural area. We are seeing more and more people in need of food assistance and monetary donations help the most. Thanks Bob…come see us sometime!

Hard to tell if Dylan does or does not believe in Jesus from his comments, but he still does songs from his “Christian” albums, including “Every Grain of Sand” “Gotta Serve Somebody” and “I Believe In You” during the 2009 tour.

even though his voice has lost some touch he still cares.he is doing this album practically for nothing I mean he’s gonna be making nothing on it,yet he’s letting those who are starving and needy have money.I respect that in other’s.Bob I desire to meet you maybe to co-write or something you rock.Never forget that and always work and strive to improve I think you could do music forever because nothing is impossible and you are proof.If you try you can do anything.That’s what I believe in my heart that is good.

hey thanks Chilly Billy… for fortifying the argument.
I found it quite unbelievable – a Christmas album. What’s the artistic gain for Dylan?

My question is dumb in hindsight, easy talk, mr. anonymous.

Enjoy the music
cheers

future significantly heat work

So where is Hanukkah? In the chopped liver?

”The man is Jewish, it makes no sense”

it makes all sense in the world:
jesus / yeshua is the messiah.

glory to the king!

He’s christian, you morons. He turned to Christianity in the seventies. And then he turned to God knows what. But now he’s back to basics. Jesus is the King! Hallelujah!!!

Don’t care about the Jewish-Christian-C’mas album hoo-hah…Just that after more than 40 years (!) of following this man and his music, this recent recording is so, so painful.

There IS something to be said for an artist (like an athlete) knowing when to pull back…

And the descriptions of a musician of Dylan’s import as being reduced to a ‘national treasure’ (current iTunes site review) or worse, ‘another Tennesee Ernie Ford’ (current Amazon review), well, what can one say?

Sad, sad, sad!

I tried to listen some clips from Christmas in the heart and it’s the worst Dylan album in the world – NO it’s the worst album in the world. And that’s been said I think I still gonna buy it…

I downloaded it today, and will go buy it in the morning! It’s cozy:D
