From what I've heard of Dylan's new Christmas album he's chosen a selection of fairly schmaltzy songs - nothing very challenging or unusual. So my question is - which songs do you think should have been recorded instead to create a much more interesting Christmas album?

There must be lots of interesting Christmas songs in the folk, country and blues traditions that would have deserved a place on an album like this. Here are a few ideas from me to begin with...

- 'First Christmas Away From Home' by Stan Rogers

- 'Winter Song' by Lindisfarne

- 'Christmas Eve Can Kill You' written by Dennis Linde, best known version is by Everly Brothers.

(These songs can all be heard on You Tube).
