Girl from the north country : original London cast recording

"Much credit must go to Simon Hale who orchestrated and arranged everything from popular favourites such as "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Lay Lady Lay" to tracks that would only be known to Dylan aficionados. Supporting the music are outstanding performances from Scarecrow Hat, the band put together specially for this production, and a versatile cast with Shirley Henderson demonstrating outstanding singing voice to add to poignant acting, while many of the other sing beautifully to led by Sheila Atim, Arinzé Kene, Debbie Kurup and Sam Reid. This will be very much a matter of taste but some might conclude that a number of these arrangements are at least as good as or arguably even better than the originals".
