I'm not quite sure why, but for some reason I didn't play Dylan's Christmas in the Heart this time last year. Decided to reinstate the annual tradition today, and was very glad I did so. Wonderful arrangements, stellar playing and that voice. Playful and sincere - enabling me to reconnect with the mythical Christmases of early childhood for at least forty minutes or so.
Also discovered two videos from the album - the bonkers (in a good way) Must Be Santa and the straightforwardly gorgeous Little Drummer Boy. I suppose these are the stand-out tracks, but it struck me today that it's a wonderfully sequenced album in which every song holds its own. In fact, strange as this might sound, I'd put it in my top ten albums from His Bobness.
