 Best Comedy album of the year November 28, 2009
Fredric A. Cooper (Los Angeles, CA)
You will laugh your head off listening to this! Not only is it a complete sell-out, it is so funny you won't believe it. Ho ho ho! Terrible singing and rotten Christmas songs combine for one bizarro listening experience. Yikes!
Dylan isn't Bah Humbug November 27, 2009
Cain Knobel (Colorado)
Some songs are this are just fun and while Dylan's voice isn't perfect he relates a fun and festive feel. If people accept Jimmy Durante doing Christmas songs than why not Dylan? His voice isn't that far removed, and the production and arrangements are often top notch. "Here Comes Santa Claus" is a delight. But then he'll turn around and murder a song like "The Christmas Song". Over all it is a fun effort that Dylan allows us to smile through because he's having the most fun since the Traveling Wilburys. However some of these songs should have remained in the studio.
 Response to Critics: Good Job, Bob! November 27, 2009

I have never written a review of anything here, but I had to respond to one of the critics of this album, describing it as the "Worst Christmas album ever...", and, "Bob Dylan went into music because he couldn't make any money as a poet..." First of all, Dylan is a Pulitzer Prize winning musician and poet, and Dylan is donating his royalties from this album to the charity "Feeding America" in order to provide "food security to people in need." Aside from that, this is a sincere effort by Bob Dylan to sing in his now raspy voice, and it is an acquired taste. I must say I prefer it to the slick, perfectly produced christmas albums that pervade the airwaves at this time of year. I find his work here to sound a bit like what Father Christmas might sound like! God Bless ya Bob.
 Bob Dylan + Christmas Songs = Excellence November 27, 2009

First off..Bob Dylan's a musical genius who can do pretty much anything, and it will be good. Dylan's style and personality never stray. This is what makes "Christmas in the Heart" a great holiday CD. Are you looking for a holiday pop cover album? Look elsewhere. This album is for those who appreciate Dylan's raspy renditions of Christmas oldies.
 Christmas Dylan November 27, 2009
Padraig Haran (Donabate, Co. Dublin Ireland)
As a fan of over 30 years duration I had to buy to see what it was like. Overall, a warm feel to these recordings but will hardly become a classic. Those songs that are more conducive to a crooning style come off best as well as the rip roaring and hilarious 'Must be Santa'. Cringeworthy however is Dylan's mauling of the latin lyrics in Adeste Fideles/Oh Come all ye faithful. Only Dylan could get away with this and it shows him to be independent enough to sing what he wants and enjoy doing so. That said, some of the singing is barely that with a great deal of gravel in the delivery.
