[net.music] North Country Girl by Pete Townsend

fjg (07/09/82)

Heard a great song this morning on Chicago's WXRT (~93 FM)
Pete Townsend:  'North Country Girl'
It's Bob Dylan's 'Girl from the North Country' done up a little
differently, but well done.  It first appeared on Dylan's second
album "The Freewheeling Bob Dylan" ~1962.
Then, in about 1968 he released it again singing it with
Johnny Cash on his "Nashville Skyline" album.
Rod Stewart has recorded it ("Smiler" album  ~1975 ?)
and on Art Garfunkel's latest album he sneaks some lines from
'Girl from the North Country' in the background at the end
of one of the songs.  It's a good show.

I'd be intrested in any knowing other versions of this song.
