This week we're staying in the world of the Big B's of the 60s - but now it's Bob Dylan and his achingly beautiful 1963 ballad "Girl from the North Country" (3:07). Erik thinks it's a meditation on being forgotten, written at a time before Bob was famous. We get deep into the song, including the lyrics, the "place" of the song, and the moaning mouth organ! Then, in 1965, Link Wray did the song! (1:18:59). This one rawks. 'Nuff said. The third version is by Kansas kids The Blue Things (1:39:19). Weldon thinks the galloping drumbeat here takes the song to the American West. Oh, and it's also a stomper. Finally, there's some real obscuros, The Plymouth Rockers, who had We Five on their mind with their rendition of Dylan's ditty (2:01:29). It's jangly, we like it! And Bob's yer uncle!!
