People often ask me what's my least favorite Xmas album.
Well, okay, no one really asks me that, but I'm gonna tell you anyway.
It's Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart
. Now, don't get me wrong. Dylan is a genius songwriter. I'll not even think of arguing that point. But the guy just has an awful voice. I understand some folks like it. They're wrong. When he was young, it was a whiny nasally thing. With age, it's just become worse.
This album came out in 2009, so Bob's pretty old on it. He sounds fucking awful. He sounds like a creepy uncle who might touch you inappropriately. Meanwhile, he's singing
over bog-standard versions of the songs. There's nothing remotely interesting about this album, musically. There's nothing remotely redeeming about this album, vocally.
I dunno; maybe this was meant as a joke...
