Every Bob Dylan Album Ranked Worst To Best

39. Christmas In The Heart (2009)

As far as Christmas albums go, Bob Dylan's surprising 2009 effort Christmas In The Heart is a welcome one. Covering numerous holiday classics with his own folk-infused spin - including Winter Wonderland and Silver Bells - the album makes for a fun and relaxed addition to the vast Christmas music landscape.

But as far as Bob Dylan albums go, it's easily the songwriter's most jarring and left-field project. Compared to his more accomplished work, the record lacks the originality or the mean emotional punch he usually offers, and though the lead single Must Be Santa is pretty fun, the rest of it pales in comparison to his better work.
