Bob Dylan
Snowflakes Blowin’ in the Wind
by Honk Mahfah on Aug.26, 2009, under Bob Dylan, Miscellaneous, Music
Coming straight from the “sounds like a joke but apparently isn’t” file:
Billboard.com reports that Bob Dylan will release his 47th album on October 13: Christmas in the Heart, an entire album’s worth of Dylan performing holiday standards such as “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “The Little Drummer Boy.”
The album’s royalties will be given to Feeding America, an organization dedicated to providing meal assistance to hungry families during the holiday season.
Dylan fans will perhaps take note that this is an interesting strike into new territory for the icon, who is one of only nine recording artists in all of history who has never issued a Christmas album. Simultaneously, the album marks a return to familiar ground in at least two ways: it represents a new phase in Dylan’s on-again-off-again social activism, and also can be seen as a return to Christian-based music.
