does anyone know anything about this album?
does Bob sing any interesting songs about Christmas?
is the song about JESUS,called Troublemaker on it?
or has Bob written any songs about Jesus overturning the money lenders tables,or is it full of good old boy songs?

A friend of mine sent me a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVs6X9yIM_k to the recording of Must Be Santa, with the comment, "He makes it sound like a Chanukah song from a seder at a bordello just across the Rio Grande."

It's pretty dire. I just about fell out of my chair laughing when I pulled up some sound clips. He's donating all the proceeds to charity so I guess his heart's in the right place. But I can't imagine settling in by a roaring fire with a cup of cocoa, listening to him sing Christmas carols.

I heard him 'singing' Here comes Santa Claus and I thought it Tom Waits!

The early Bob Dylan wouldn't have included the song Christmas Island ... my favourite song off of that cd btw.
