Bob Dylan, ho ho ho
Snowin’ in the Wind? Dylan Christmas album due
LONDON (Reuters) – Bob Dylan is set to release an album of Christmas songs, including “Here Comes Santa Claus” and the carol “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” according to music websites.
Rumors of the album first emerged on Isis magazine website, which is devoted to Dylan. It later reported the songs had been recorded in Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California, in May.
David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, who played accordion on Dylan’s chart-topping latest album “Together Through Life,” is one of the musicians who took part in the sessions, it said.
“It is a personal project of Dylan himself rather than an idea put forward by his record company,” Isis said.
Billboard magazine said it had confirmed the album existed. Other songs included “Must Be Santa” and “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” it said.</em>
