Gosh, I hope he comes to Duluth one more time to make music. Thanks for sharing this!
Mr. Dylan, if you are reading this…I want an interview.

"Harkening" is an alternative spelling, not a misspelling. I purposely chose it because it looks more appropriate for the season.

I will admit that as a huge Dylan fan I had a huge reluctance to even listen to this one. But this album is awesome. It’s just surreal. The album has an odd David Lynch atmosphere. I have listened to it multiple times and I will say that I am not a fan of the Christmas music but this album made me smile more than once. Much as I imagine Zimmy was smiling throughout the production of it. He sure does love being Bob Dylan.

I’ll just add, good supporting band. Agree with everyone on the rest.

Oh my god, it really is Tom Petty’s hair. And hat.

Love it. It’s totally bonkers, but I love it.

I’m sure Bob Dylan has some honorary doctorate in music from some institution…

reminds me of house parties I’ve been at..I like that…feels like good old school MN tongue in cheek and I like it. I have written off this album until I saw this … side note, in the process of enforcing community expectations about not creating distractions in our school environment a kid claimed to be fighting authority “like bob dylan would, even though I think he sucks but all you teachers around here seem to like him” … oh, ok ..you invoked the name of dylan .. so go ahead and sell blue dew out of your locker and dump it on the carpet, beat the crap out of your guitar in the middle of geometry (which you’re failing). This same kid claims that slash didn’t graduate from HS so he wont either. I informed him that brian may has a doctorate in astro-physics and that zappa was a genius .. “I dont even KNOW who those guys are!” … kid, you better practice your burger flipping. Sorry for the rant .. I like that video.

This song would be great on a polka/klezmer themed Christmas compilation!

William Fredericks and Hal Moore are credited with writing “Must Be Santa”. Gene Autry and Oakley Haldeman wrote “Here Comes Santa Claus”.

It’s Tom Petty hair, and the video suggests it’s a song for drunk people.
