Folk legend Bob Dylan will release his first album of Christmas songs - with royalties¹ going to charity, his record label has confirmed.

民间传奇人物Bob Dylan的唱片公司证实道，Bob Dylan将会发行自己首张圣诞歌曲专辑，版税将捐献给慈善机构。

Christmas in the Heart will be Dylan's 47th studio album

Tracks on Christmas in the Heart, due out on 13 October, will include Winter Wonderland and Little Drummer Boy.

Columbia Records said US royalties（版税） from the sale of the album would go to the Feeding America charity.

The fund, which provides "food security to people in need", hopes to feed 1.4 million people with proceeds.

Dylan said: "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.

"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."

International royalties from sales will go to organisations in other countries who provide meals for vulnerable（易受伤害的，有弱点的） people, Columbia said.

Dylan's 47th studio album will also include Here Comes Santa Claus and Must Be Santa.
