One of the comments said the line in the song about marching into Selma with MLK may have been written with J.B. in mind - she did that, y'know. And I really love a lot of her records, especially the first 5 albums - but I think for that song, her performance is just not right. It's like Beverly Sills singing greatest hits of the Talking Heads.
The song, to me, is the greatest xmas song ever, although Christmas in Prison by John Prine is another of my favorites.
