NWR: Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart”. Holy ... !

[Ramon_NYC]

He makes Keith Richards’ solo vocals sound operatic. Love it or hate it. I downloaded for 5 bucks from Amazon, and this fun cd will be playing at the household during the holidays.
Anybody else listen to this?

Playing in the household during the holidays? What, you don't want any visitors?

[mike reff]

love the fact that a jew sings and markets christmas carols, its like Irving Berling writing "white Christmas"

[Ramon_NYC]

He does Latin, too. Here goes:

"Aaaaah-deas-teay fee-day-lease
Laaay-eateee trry-ooomph-ant-ease
Vey-neee-teay Vey-neeeee-teay in Bay-yeth-lay-him"

Wasn't it around "Jokerman" that he found Christ, or was it earlier than that?

[DavidG]

I try not to listen to or think about Dylan's later stuff. It just ruins the early stuff for me.

Wasn't it around "Jokerman" that he found Christ, or was it earlier than that?

I thought it was in "John Wesley Harding", where he had one of his great song, All Along the Watchtower.

Yes, I was just looking it up on-line, I read something about where 1983's Jokerman was a "return to his secular song-writing...."
