Today, Mike Edel releases the final track of his cover series, having already shared The Wallflowers radio hit “One Headlight”, Coldplay’s “Don’t Panic”, and Sarah McLachlan’s classic “Building A Mystery”. In honour of Bob Dylan’s upcoming 80th birthday, Edel is sharing his take on “Girl From The North Country”.
“When I went to jazz school way back in the day the first thing I remember doing was going to the library and checking out a bunch of Bob Dylan CD's,” says Edel. “I remember wondering who this Bob Dylan guy was; turns out he was pretty good and very proficient. I always loved this song and the version on 1967's The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan and the photo on the cover. I thought I'd record and release this cover for his 80th birthday.”
