Tangled Up in Blue

Thanks, Dee. this is one of his songs that should have been a movie. And, Brownsville Girl, on his Knocked Out, Loaded Lp was another...there is still not a good version of this on Youtube....

Also, more recently, I can't recall the album, but Dan Lanois produced it, and it featured a piece that went on and on...Dylan would have made it 30 minutes, but Lanois kept him at bay with a mere 15 minutes or so. I don't know the name for sure, but I think it begins with "My heart is in the North country, true and fair...

Do you know of this song? I would love to hear it again.

Other than this, I am tangled up in the blue of what the world looks like today....turning a reddish/purple....

Actually, I think the opening line is 'My heart is in the high lands....'

Dan, are you thinking of Girl From the North Country on his Nashville Skyline album?

If you're traveling to the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to the one who lives there
For she once was the true love of mine

I believe he sang it with Johnny Cash. It is a great song!

If so, I love the that entire album, every song – Girl from the North Country, Nashville Skyline Rag, To Be Alone With You, I Threw It All Away, Peggy Day, Lay Lady Lay, One More Night, Tell Me That It Isn't True, Country Pie, and Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
