Its starting to get close to Christmas and people are noticeably getting into the Christmas spirit so we bought the new Bob Dylan album – Christmas in the Heart, a brilliant album full of old Christmas classics sung by Dylan himself.

The best thing about the album is that the royalties from the album benefit Feeding America and other international charities. “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,” Dylan wrote on his website “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.” For albums bought outside the USA, royalties will go to World Wide – WFP and in the UK the proceeds will go to Crisis. See the excellent video for Must Be Santa below, the first appearance in a music video by Dylan since 1997.
