Must be a Kurt Vile Xmas

 American singer and producer Kurt Vile (ex War On Drugs) made his version from 'Must Be Santa' in 2022 for a Spotify christmas list: Spotify singles: Holiday collection.
Although lots of people think it's a Bob Dylan song, we at CAGG know better. It dates back to 1960 and is written by Hal Moore and Bill Fredericks. It was first released in November 1960<
Here's Kurt Vile's version:
And Bob Dylan (from 2009)

She & Him did a great version too:


And British sixties singer Alma Cogan:

    Love Kurt Vile. Love Christmas. Dylan’s version still takes top honours (unless you count Raffi). Would love to see a full KV Kristmas album! Thanks for the history lesson.
