If there was ever a recording that proves some singers should stick to their genre, this is it. The music and arrangements are really nice, warm, cozy and traditional. The music could be enjoyable but Dylan's vocals ruin it; his singing is so bad it makes my ears want to hide inside my head...

I have lived with Christmas In The Heart for a few months with my opinion pinballing between inspired, strange, jarring or, just plain boring. No matter, as a Christmas album CITH succeeds admirably simply because it turns some of the well trodden holiday canon on its head - however, as a birthday album, I remain less convinced.
There are families today who think nothing about dropping significant coin on birthday celebrations for their children that would make some third-world plutocrats blush at their opulence and excess - I can only imagine their white hot rage and ensuing lawsuit histrionics if the trapeze artist, juggling troupe or Animal Planet snake charmer showed up drunk or stoned all but ruining the three-ring processional for little Chase or Cassandra.
Now imagine a parent's reaction if the true Eternal God were to punch up Dylan's Christmas In The Heart on His celestial iPod. After having lived through Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer or Ray Conniff's World of Christmas Strings, would He smile at Bob, just thankful for something different in tribute to His Son or would the grizzled, gargling with gasoline vocals finally push Him over the edge - it's hard to say how the Lord of Hosts - who has always been comfortable with a righteous smite, smote or pox - would handle the situation.
Despite his Christian dabbling, Dylan has really always been an Old Testament guy, so he, more than anyone, must know that the odds are definitely with the House on this one.
So, with hands trembling on the keyboard and eyes averted skyward for a wayward bolt of score settling lightening, I endorse Christmas In The Heart as an authentic roots classic that just may grow on you - and hopefully Him.

If you're a Dylan fan, buy it. If not, take a gamble. It put a smile on my wife's face, who is as sick of Bob Dylan as any spouse can be.

Dylan's skill, his spirit, his wisdom and humor are here, in both selection and arrangement of the music. Dylan's raspy magic is here, blending the joy and the mystery of Christmas. Embrace those who enjoy this collection; they get it. Have compassion for those who don't.
