Austin’s David Ramirez recently joined Seattle’s Noah Gundersen for this poignant take on “Girl from the North Country” in the latter songwriter’s hometown. Moving and meditative, the pair nudge the classic Dylan-Cash duet from its Nashville Skyline roots a bit, refining each syllable into an overcast-day piano ballad of forsaken love. Also of note, director Ryan Booth’s use of natural light and his audio team’s capture from a century-old church stay out of the moment’s way beautifully, imbuing it with even more depth and timelessness.
