John Gorka - Girl From the North Country (2022)

One Song Concert #57
Here is a new recording of Bob Dylan's Girl from the North Country.
This version is closer to Bob's duet with Johnny Cash on Nashville Skyline than the original on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan record.
The version I did on Nod to Bob on Redhouse Records in 2001, is closer to the original.
It's not all that timely but it's the song that was calling me.
I hope you like it!

Great work, as always. Your voice and guitar work are beautiful. You could sing the IRS 1040 form and it would sound great! Please keep 'em coming.

[@ClintonAllenAnderson]

If all I'd heard was the guitar intro, I'da said "Hey! That's John Gorka!" Absolutely lovely cover Bravo

[@h.fisher449]

Perfect way to begin a drizzly Sunday in the Rocky Mountains. Your interpretation is fantastic in a classic John Gorka style.

I don't usually like covers. Unless it's John Gorka performing them. Then, better!

[@zootszabo2415]

Like between David Wilcox and John Prine but his own style. Me likey he is on my Pandora now!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

First saw him up close in concert in 1987---Still just as lovely. Sang:"Italian Girls." oxooo

[@dsimms561]

This song always reminds me of a girl I loved when I lived in Duluth. Thanks, John, you picked a winner.

I heard John Gorka years ago at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Knew for sure how great he really was

[@angelabest9843]

Lovely, simply lovely.

[@rogerkerr7975]

Fabulous!!

[@guyb7005]

Nothing like hearing a deep heartfelt confession on a cold Canadian Sunday morning - this tops my JG binge listening this week!

[@richardgeller1844]

This man could sing the phone book!

[@daveneilsen5714]

When our emotional cups and pots are emptied by this strange world, i come here to fill up again, and just keep going like John... the voice is older, the words just get stronger...

[@williamfisher9144]

I think your idea of having short recorded "concerts" is a great way to still hear wonderful music. I say Go For It!

[@annwait6371]

FINALLY FOUND YOU AFTER YRS. SINCE I WENT TO A COUPLE OF YOUR SHOWS!!

[@DerekRose_aka_DJ]

Beautiful version in full Gorka style :) One of my favorite Dylan tunes.

[@babs4TLove]

Thank you, John. You never disappoint-I knew it would be beautiful and special. A dreary Sunday here at the Jersey Shore, but the sun just peeked through the clouds as I listened.

[@tomrobinson2200]

[@AaronTheBaron18]

What a lovely version. Thanks for sharing!

[@billymusicwb]

Beautiful!

[@rebeccagorrell23]

Lovely John. How is it that other than hair color you still look the exact same as you did 30 years ago? And how is it that your voice is just as strong? But your messages are now more nuances, as befits 30 years os walking through the world. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@WillWinsol]

An American Gem.

[@michaelearnietaylor8176]

Yes

[@cacharroandromedano8143]

Maravillosa versión. Muchas gracias, John.

[@johnfern]

Stellar job!!

[@johnciel5583]

great cover.

[@Jeff_Robert_Blask]

Your version of this has always been my favorite. ❤ Please please please play a solo live version of Thoughtless Behavior!

[@paulboden7850]

Gorka is extraordinary. Hope he plays some NE venues this summer.

[@rogerkerr7975]

Hi John, guess you made this your own

[@sakka9432]

How beautiful JOHN! It was odd I remember seeing you play a free concert down in Pennsylvania at some fair in the middle of the state a few years ago when you played this song. What was odd is that some other musicians I was seeing at the time live we’re also performing this song - like an old hippie dream guy perhaps better than Jimi Hendrix some say! Oh well, thanks for some warmth on a cloudy cool day in April, waiting for spring! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjaaWaNbsZ4oM0

[@cynicalmonk870]

something is not right with the audio. It looks like he’s lip syncing…🤷🏼‍♂️

[@petematter]

😂 and u could sing the the Hebrew dictionary and it would be beautiful!
