A belated birthday post in honor of Bob Dylan, who graced 68 years of age on May 24th. Though Dylan and I have never gotten along too well in concert, his albums are in ever revolving rotation on a monthly basis. This month, as I habitually tend to do when warm weather breaks, I’ve been spinning my favorite Dylan record Nashville Skyline, from which the above song can be found. The very first play on the record to be exact. Beginning to end, it’s an essential album. Sure to please even some ardent naysayers.
On a recent trip through a record store, I noticed that the Dylan remasters have begun to roll off the presses. Has anybody dropped any coin on them? Worth the ticket to ride the train?

Haven’t heard the remasters yet, but Bootleg #8 is essential.

Too be more accurate, this version of Girl From the North Country is much more similar to the one from Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan rather than the duet version with Johnny Cash from Nashville Skyline.
