Nope. He never could sing. (Sorry Den, I love you dearly...but the truth is, he can't sing). He's a great songwriter, guitar player and story teller. I took a very, very hard-earned $3.98 and bought one of his first albums because he was all the kids in school were talking about. I went home all excited, put it on my long-legged hi-fi...and sat there thinking, "Are they all nuts??? This guy can't sing". I could have put 16 gallons of gas in my car.

LOL, Jerry, he always sounds like that. I think that is the attraction. It seems to me that a long long time ago he could actually sing but couldn't sell a record. He did this to be obnoxious and people loved it. The rest is history.

Dylan sounded a lot like a Bull Frog in a swamp somewhere. What I heard was simply awful!

There have been a number of non-christians before dylan who have made money singing Christmas songs so why shouldn't he?

I'm sure Mr. Dylan doesnt care what you think...but glad you bought it. It will be a classic no-matter what.
