Would you believe it? Can it be true? Cor Blimey Charlie Guv'nor! I don'ts believes me peepers.

Yes, that is what you'll all be saying when you realise that ancient, frog voiced, wheezey, folk rock goblin Bob Dylan has released a Christmas Album.

That's right, the man behind the cheery and festive Tangled up in Blue, Not Dark Yet, What good am I? and Desolation Row and has bought out a jolly Christmas album.

What can we expect?

A Hard Reindeer's A-Gonna Fall, Sleigh Lady Sleigh, Girl From The North Pole Country, The Chimes They Are A Changing and If Not for Yule?

Ho Ho Ho, sometimes folks I even crack myself up!!!!!!!!!

Actually to be serious, the old wizened whisperer, the crotchety croaker has made a very weird, yet half decent album!

Influenced heavily by his recent offerings in addition to his delving into American music history for his Radio Shows ole Zimmy has produced a kinda of country, jazzy, album with nods to polka and The Andrews Sisters thrown in.

If you hate Bob Dylan, you'll probably hate it. I you love Bob Dylan you'll probably hate it.

If you like the weird and wonderful, a kitsch, camp Christmas laugh then you might have fun with it.

Why Jim? Why should we buy this? Pray tell, for the love of Bob, what is the point?

The point my dear fellows is...well read the blurb!

MORE THAN 4 MILLION MEALS TO BE PROVIDED DURING HOLIDAYS

Bob Dylan has released a brand new album of holiday songs, Christmas In The Heart. All of the artist's U.S. royalties from sales of these recordings will be donated to Feeding America, guaranteeing that more than four million meals will be provided to more than 1.4 million people in need in this country during this year's holiday season. Bob Dylan is also donating all of his future U.S. royalties from this album to Feeding America in perpetuity.

Additionally, the artist is partnering with two international charities to provide meals during the holidays for millions in need in the United Kingdom and the developing world, and will be donating all of his future international royalties from Christmas In The Heart to those organizations in perpetuity.

“When we reached out to Bob Dylan about becoming involved with our organization, we could never have anticipated that he would so generously donate all royalties from his forthcoming album to our cause,” said Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America. “This major initiative from such a world renowned artist and cultural icon will directly benefit so many people and have a major impact on spreading awareness of the epidemic of hunger in this country and around the world.”

Bob Dylan commented, “It’s a tragedy that more than 35 million people in this country alone -- 12 million of those children – often go to bed hungry and wake up each morning unsure of where their next meal is coming from. I join the good people of Feeding America in the hope that our efforts can bring some food security to people in need during this holiday season.”

Feeding America provides low-income individuals and families with the fuel to survive and even thrive. As the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief charity, our network members supply food to more than 25 million Americans each year, including 9 million children and 3 million seniors. Serving the entire United States, more than 200 member food banks supports 63,000 agencies that address hunger in all of its forms.
