Dylan's Christmas in The Heart

Dylan's new holiday offering is quite possibly the worst Christmas album I've ever heard. However, I find it remarkably entertaining. Fortunately, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot eviscerate the charity album--both labeled it a trash it--with DeRogatis rather humorously spearing Dylan's singing and presence as the raspy voiced uncle who ruins Christmas with his antics. Although both dub him a living legend and claim that he is one of the most important artists of the last fifty years, they cannot bring themselves to insist that the album sustains any redeeming qualities. The Sound Opinions duo paste Christmas in the Heart as campy and sloppy. A more accurate truth cannot be stated. Despite that fact that album could be named Dylan Murders the Christmas Classics, I foresee several playings around the holidays. Hear the review.
