The Old Vic’s acclaimed production of Girl From The North Country has announced an official London cast recording.
Written and directed by Conor McPherson and set to Bob Dylan’s songs, Girl from the North Country is aptly set in Bob Dylan’s hometown of Duluth, Minnesota in the depression era of 1934.
The original story follows a guesthouse owner, Nick, who owes more money than he can ever repay, his wife Elizabeth who is losing her mind, their daughter and guests who all have a story to tell.
Brought to life by a 20-piece company of actors and musicians, award-winning playwright Conor McPherson beautifully weaves the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan into this new show full of hope, heartbreak and soul.

Conor McPherson said:
“I’m so delighted the brilliant talent of our cast will be captured at Abbey Road Studios. It’s been an honour working with them on Bob Dylan’s incredible songs. The reaction from audiences every night and the clamour for a recording has been overwhelming and is a true testament to their stunning voices.”
Girl from the North Country features songs from every period of Bob Dylan’s catalogue with new musical arrangements by Simon Hale.
The Album is availble to pre-order now and buy, download, and stream on 29 September 2017 via AMAZON.
