This week I’m honored to have been invited to be the guest author on the Jewish Book Council Blog. I’ve put together a four-part series on Christmas in the Heart, Bob Dylan’s curious new album of holiday favorites. In the postings, I discuss the tradition of pop-music holiday albums; the significant contributions of Jewish-American artists to this genre;  and examine Dylan’s album for how it fits in context with his own work, what it means (if anything) about where Dylan’s head is at these days; and, finally, I tell you what I really think of it. Please take a look.
