It is debated as to whom this song is a tribute some claim former girlfriend Echo Helstrom, and some Bonnie Beecher, both of whom Dylan knew before leaving for New York. The song was written following his first trip to England in December 1962, upon what he thought to be the completion of his second album. That recording became the opening track on Nashville Skyline, Dylan's ninth studio album. Dylan re-recorded the song as a duet with Johnny Cash in February 1969. It was recorded at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City in April 1963, and released the following month as the second track on Dylan's second studio album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. " Girl from the North Country" (occasionally known as "Girl of the North Country") is a song written by Bob Dylan.
