For only a brief time yesterday, Bob Dylan’s upcoming album Christmas in the Heart popped up on Amazon with 30-second streaming audio samples. And let’s just say, even die-hard fans weren’t too happy. “Utterly embarrassing. Please God no, make it stop,” wrote one commenter on Dylan fan-site Expecting Rain. “I like it… I’m problably a masochist,” wrote another.
Well, I’m not going to review an album I’ve only heard 30-second samples from, but if you want to get a taste of Dylan’s take on Christmas classics, listen here or embedded below.
The good news is, however, he’s probably just messing with us.
