Bob Dylan has a new album. It’s called “Christmas in the Heart.” That’s right, it’s a Christmas album. It kicks off with “Here Comes Santa Claus.” He’s got a lot of back-up singers. And kind of a big country band. And croaks his way through Do You Hear What I Hear, Winter Wonderland, O Little Town of Bethlehem. I mean, he literally croaks, his voice raspy, hoarse and breaking constantly.

Now I’m as big a Dylan fan as anyone. But this makes Self-Portrait seem like Blood on the Tracks. Et tu, Zimmy?
