“Girl from the North Country”, perhaps Dylan’s most romantic composition, was published in 1962 and it spoke to me the first time I heard it. The north has always been special to me – I was born in the middle of a Canadian winter, my brother Bob towards the end of one. I’ve always equated the north with austerity and isolation, it’s people somehow worthier or more principaled. I loved the song so much that I named one of my first compositions “Fille du nord”, the musical representation of an ideal.<\/div>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Dylan’s composition is fast paced, definitely folk music, and features some of his best finger-picking guitar playing. My arrangement is very different, much slower and definitely R&B, a style I’ve always loved.<\/div>\n
