Their aged voices seeped in experiences that include love and heartbreak make the song that much better. Sometimes music isn't about the technical aspect but about the emotion. :)
Thank you for giving this song the dignity, heart, and soul that it needs when it shows up on the internet. God bless you and your's David, Steve, and Graham.
Back in 1969, I went to Vietnam as a common 11B Infantryman. Our nation was divided at the time, and when I got out into the field, everyone wanted to know what was new. I told them than Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan just had a fantastic duet called "Girl From The North Country". Nobody believed me.
I still remember sitting in the 4th row at Oakland Coliseum, for the Bridge School Benefit 1988, when both Dylan and CSN&Y played, and watching Crosby and Neil Young watching Dylan's set from the wings....still fans, after all those years...it was a special feeling.
+wygakyl That's such a nice story. I had a similar special feeling at my first Neil Young concert. He was rockin' so hard on his guitar and all I could do was trying hard to hold my tears and enyoing every single note. Worth every Cent I spent! Musicians who really love what they are doing and can convey this feeling to the audience and theire music is one of the most beautiful things in the world for me.
It’s a bitter sweet thing of teen first love We all have a ‘Girl from the North Country’ in our lives……beautiful harmony and Stephen Stills guitar play captures the sadness and angst of young love
Tha lads should try to get tickets for the current show at the Old Vic then get themselves on to do this as an encore to what is one brilliant musical play. Praise be to Bobby and to the best ever...'Crosby, Stills & Nash'.
I can understand why you'd say that at the same time there would be many fans who would be disappointed if they stopped. Just proves that everyone has an opinion and artists aren't going to be able to please all the people all the time. :)
CSN have so much of their own material but one of my favourites is Blackbird, not to be confused with the Stills classic Bluebird from his Buffalo Springfield days. The former, written by Sir Paul McCartney is covered with their trademark 3 part harmonies to perfection. A good rendition is on the Daylight Again DVD....
All they touch turns to gold,, ... in this case ... I don't know.... AS Bob and Bob and Johnny......when a song is very good, there in nothinhg much to add., Love!
It didn’t help that much. It really unfortunate listening to classic live dead & the singing swing between ok & out of key. They needed a lead vocalist & never got one. The lady whose husband was on piano helped keep bobby from to manny boo boos
Lovely treatment of this beloved song. I also like what Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did with it. Dylan didn't come up with this song out of thin air. Paul Simon's Scarborough Fair is from the same English folk song and there are many other versions.
obviously a great song....dylan`s unique live version on youtube with smith playing along side him too is hard to beat.....nobody had that intense, eccentric sneering drive like dylan....CSN take it at a more leisurely pace, with beautiful hamonies/
One afternoon, 1971, my friend Doug Finley invited me to come up and spend the weekend at his family's home. Little did I know that neighbors next door were Crosby. Stills, and Nash, just happening to be they're one afternoon and they play some tunes. I didn't see Doug after that. He was shipped off to who knows where. It wasn't until later that year, I was shipped off to South Korea. I was standing on sidewalk waiting for the bus to take me to my company, when all of of a sudden I hear the sound of someone burning rubber fromtires. Out of nowhere this Army jeep comes around the corner and passes me by. Driver slams on his brakes, puts it in reverse and stops next to me and I hear him shout out to me, "Rick is that you?" I said yes, and he proceeded to take me up to my, Company in camp Casey, South Korea. We saw each other occasionally while we were stationed in South Korea. And then when we both got out. We occasionally communicated by telephone. One time, when my friend Charles Carney and I drove up to San Francisco. We proceeded to go North into Mendocino county and see Doug again. Some years later, I found out if he passed away from a heart attack. I miss you so very much. And I want to dedicate today to Doug, because it's Crosby's birthday and also my friend's birthday as well. Happy Birthday Doug and David. ✌️❤️🙏
His signature 0-45. It's a 12-fret model and if you look closely you can see his signature inlaid at the 12th fret. It's based on the guitar on the album cover of his first solo album, where he's sitting on a bench in the snow with a toy giraffe to his right (while he's got a burning cigarette tucked in the pinky of his picking hand while playing what was undoubtedly a ridiculously valuable guitar - note the slotted headstock). Martin also made signature 000-45 and D-45 models for him, but the D-45 is the most significant. IIRC, only 91 pre-war D-45s were made; only 87 have been accounted for, and Stephen owns two of them (he calls the main one "Mother Maybelle). So when Martin made his D-41 signature model they only made 91, and he got the first two. They sold out immediately at their list price of $17,500, and now - if you can find one - they go for $25K - $30K.
Interesting that the version by Dylan & Cash changes the chords to a simple G, Bminor, C, G all through. I think this excellent version uses same chords as Dylan's original. Also Dylan & Cash's harmonies are less "conventional" let's say, but wonderful none the less.
These guys adapted their own take on Dylans beautifully adapted Parsley sage Rosemary and thyme. The oldest anti war song in the English language.You gotta love how art evolves.
This is a nice version. But Bob's original on Freewheelin' is hand's down the best. Yes many have cited Johnny and Bob's classic version from Nashville Skyline. Here's the problem with that one: For some unknown reason, they left out the verse that makes the whole song. I'm a wondering if she remembers me at all. Many times I've often prayed, in the darkness of my night in the brightness of my day. This verse takes the song from a nice simple ballad and makes it a masterpiece.
Yes I noticed that too, I've been singing this song for 40 odd years without knowing of this verse -Doh-. I don't know why they left out such a lovely lyric. I like CS&N but this version seems a bit overdone IMHO. Best regard from the UK
I love CSN and have seen them a number of times. It's reality that as one ages the vocal range is becomes limited. I just think they shouldn't do songs that challenge that too much, Peace....
Beautiful version when the harmonies come in. This is one of my favorite Dylan songs. I recorded a version and I've posted it at reverbnation,com..if you'd like hear just Google TimothyFlyte'66 at reverbnation.com. I hope you like it .
Stephen crooning like Dylan. Interesting choice. I'd of liked to hear them do this one 25 yrs. ago Their voices seem strained now. I guess the harmonies have lost a little something. This one just doesn't quite work.
@@David-D-Pyrénées there is a video of Neil singing this song on UA-cam recorded in one of those booths that they have in truck stops etc. It's very good, he plays it quite up-tempo and kickin, search it out.
you know what ? Rattle is right. Cant improve on the original. I love CSN almost as much as the great Zimbo but they shld just hv left this one for private viewing. To give u an idea my first ever 7" (remember those !!!) was Rainy Day women - 1964 !! Don't even try to work out my frixking age !!
The wind on the water has carried David home ...
R I P !!!
Flat out BEAUTIFUL!!!! so Happy these Dudes bumped into each other...thank you Joni!!!
Their aged voices seeped in experiences that include love and heartbreak make the song that much better. Sometimes music isn't about the technical aspect but about the emotion. :)
Great comment.
What a perfect and spot on comment. Yes, exactly. What I was thinking as I listened.
Thank you for giving this song the dignity, heart, and soul that it needs when it shows up on the internet. God bless you and your's David, Steve, and Graham.
I absolutely love this version, but the Cash and Dylan version will always be my favorite. It is truly a great song.
Mine too!
me too

CheetoSantana Nashville Skyline
CheetoSantana Ian & Sylvia
Was so lucky to see them live around 2015 in Wales.
Utterly gorgeous harmony

+wygakyl Tuviste suerte de estar allí.
It was the only concert I ever planned to be at the ticket place, when they went on sale...I waited at 4AM, and was 1st in line!
+wygakyl That's such a nice story. I had a similar special feeling at my first Neil Young concert. He was rockin' so hard on his guitar and all I could do was trying hard to hold my tears and enyoing every single note. Worth every Cent I spent!

Great post!!
Just so very awesome to see all three of the guys on stage and still rock in!!!
N-I-C-E!!!! Always loved this song.
so beautiful...the guys still have it.
CSN do a great cover of one of my favorite songs. Thank you.
Outstanding!!
Excellent!!!!! fantastic cover.
A beautiful song of love & loss. Many covers, all strong.
well said
It’s a bitter sweet thing of teen first love
We all have a ‘Girl from the North Country’ in our lives……beautiful harmony and Stephen Stills guitar play captures the sadness and angst of young love
The harmony and tempo are perfect for this great Dylan song
Beautiful cover ❤️
I play this song regularly with my band.
Dylan was a true poet, great rendition.
Dylan ain’t dead, and is still writing
gives me a chill ----gorgeous
Immer wieder SUPER!!!
I can not get this one out of my head . I must grab a guitar and learn it and teach it to my friends.,
Edward R. Ryerson or the Wilfred Sykes?
Tha lads should try to get tickets for the current show at the Old Vic then get themselves on to do this as an encore to what is one brilliant musical play. Praise be to Bobby and to the best ever...'Crosby, Stills & Nash'.
Beautiful. Angels that sound like a whole heavenly choir.
Better and better. Thanks so much CSN.
I hope you can even sing at all when you reach their age...Great cover of a Bob Dylan Classic
Legend band. ❤
Joe Cocker and Leon Russell sang this on Mad Dogs and Englishmen, for Bob Dylan who was in the concert hall at the time. My favorite version.
I can understand why you'd say that at the same time there would be many fans who would be disappointed if they stopped. Just proves that everyone has an opinion and artists aren't going to be able to please all the people all the time. :)

I love Still's backstory and the careful treatment of one of Bob's gems. ... Graham forgot his traveling shoes.
Jesus! Great Harmony!
Tops ever awesome ever thank you
You Nailed it Jan
Classic version of this timeless ballad. An more from this gig.
if you're wondering why Jerry Garcia was willing to exchange playing on David's album for David teaching the Dead about harmony...chills.
It didn’t help that much. It really unfortunate listening to classic live dead & the singing swing between ok & out of key. They needed a lead vocalist & never got one. The lady whose husband was on piano helped keep bobby from to manny boo boos
Best ever harmony
awesome CSN
Nice cover, especially the finger style guitar.
Lovely treatment of this beloved song. I also like what Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did with it. Dylan didn't come up with this song out of thin air. Paul Simon's Scarborough Fair is from the same English folk song and there are many other versions.
These guys always give me goose pimples - harmonies are superb.
after not hearing it for say 30 years.....the harmonies nearly knocked me over...(.not this song tbh.....)
Good by the greatest pop singers of the USA !
Great song lot's of nice comments, but for some reason that raspy Joe Coker version still does it for me, pure emotion. RIP joe
Agreed!
Love IT
i Do Love This..
Wowwwww… like the older days!!!
obviously a great song....dylan`s unique live version on youtube with smith playing along side him too is hard to beat.....nobody had that intense, eccentric sneering drive like dylan....CSN take it at a more leisurely pace, with beautiful hamonies/
Beautiful Bob Dylan song.
Let’s not forget the classic cover by Joe Cocker & Leon Russell on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen LP!

Marvellous
Excellent rendition by the guys of Dylan's classic. where was this filmed.? A great video close up with no distraction or noise from audience
proud to be a 'girl from the north country'
OHH ..HOW A LOVELY COMMENT !!
Me too, Lyn Mae!
@@lizlawley6680 - Please see that you're wearing a coat so warm, to keep you from the howling winds.
does anyone know what model Martin he's playing??

do you know what are the chords of The Black Crow's version?
These guys adapted their own take on Dylans beautifully adapted Parsley sage Rosemary and thyme. The oldest anti war song in the English language.You gotta love how art evolves.
Grahms animations are so divine
"Freewheelin" - The original is still the greatest.
The most beutiful love son ever wtitten ......
An they do it exceptcionally ....
Life is so weirdly awesome
I like the way they sing "shield her from the howling wind"
I liked it! They are true
You really should look over to the right and click on the Black Crowes version.

Check out Altan, they do a great cover of this song
Check out Leon Russell Lockin' 2015. He and Claudia Lennar do a haunting time stopping version.
Dylan's version is unbeatable.
Pete Townsend at Woodstock in 1998 does the ultimate rendition of this song.
Reminds me a little of Burl Ives... fantastic
...nice.... but the best version is from Cash/Dylan
I love CSN and have seen them a number of times. It's reality that as one ages the vocal range is becomes limited. I just think they shouldn't do songs that challenge that too much, Peace....
I agree.
Older CSN is better than no CSN .
To: C S N...World Class Gentlemen!!!
C.S.N beats Dylan/Cash and that's not easy to do
What is that great Martin Stephen is playing on?
Surely the sound could be synced
Nice version
Chris Robinson is my fav. Just saying
Why do they have to change the words?
Les contre voix étaient parfaites !
whats the guitar model he playing?? nice cover.
That's about the purdiest old Martin that I've ever seen.
Noticed that!!
It's lovely !
I'm from the north.
Beautiful version when the harmonies come in. This is one of my favorite Dylan songs. I recorded a version and I've posted it at reverbnation,com..if you'd like hear just Google
TimothyFlyte'66 at reverbnation.com. I hope you like it .
Love "Girl From the North Country." I love Marty Robbins' "Girl From Spanish Town" even more. This version is a little too slow.
Stephen crooning like Dylan. Interesting choice. I'd of liked to hear them do this one 25 yrs. ago
Their voices seem strained now. I guess the harmonies have lost a little something. This one just doesn't quite work.
Every guy was thinking of some special girl . . .
Im not sure their doing it justice here. See Bob live in 86 ( there’s a clip) it alone. Its a lot better. (Nice licks by Stills of course )
Sound is low, I can hardly hear anything.
Song stars at 0:39.
Some songs are simply allergic to three part harmonies. Sounds like the church choir stepping out of their non-secular safe zone.
Beautiful! P.S. Пожалуйста закрой мою страницу на "f", возникла проблема с телефоном.
Big CSN fan but the other two versions are better. Russell/Cocker and Dylan/Cash.
With Young, it would be better I think.
Neil Young are from the north country
@@David-D-Pyrénées there is a video of Neil singing this song on UA-cam recorded in one of those booths that they have in truck stops etc. It's very good, he plays it quite up-tempo and kickin, search it out.

Is Nash in his bare feet ??
Looks like.
@@corneliadenninger5395 probably the reason why the carpets
A touching tribute but I hate to say that C,S & N are well past their best
Dylan & Cash on Nashville Skyline. Big CSN fan but this pales by comparison
Roseanne Cash does the truest version of this
Tough to see Stephen Stills struggle with his hearing loss.
Great song. Graham Nash: please don't look so ridiculous
