There is a side to Pete Townshend of which people are unaware. This song, written by Bob Dylan, must have struck a chord with Pete for him to continue playing it with such passion and devotion. Themes of trust, betrayal and longing reveal themselves in other solo efforts like The Iron Man, and Psychoderelict.
To be clear - this is NOT Pete’s “North Country Girl.” This is “Girl from the North Country” - the Dylan original. Pete’s variation is different and originally on his 1982 “All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.”
