GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY to Release Cast Recording; Pre-Order Available Now

The Old Vic and Sony Music Entertainment today announces the release of the Official London Cast Recording of Girl From the North Country. Featuring lyrics and music by Bob Dylan, the album was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and will be available to buy, download, and stream on 29 September 2017.

Girl from the North Country opened at The Old Vic in July to 5-star reviews and runs until 7 October 2017.

The album is available to pre-order now on Amazon.

Written and directed by Conor McPherson, Girl From the North Country is aptly set in Bob Dylan's hometown of Duluth, Minnesota. It's 1934 and a community who are living on a knife-edge soon huddle together in the local guesthouse. The owner, Nick, owes more money than he can ever repay, his wife Elizabeth is losing her mind and their daughter Marianne is carrying a child no-one will account for. And, when a preacher selling bibles and a boxer looking for a comeback show up in the middle of the night, things start to spiral beyond the point of no return.

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.
