Trusted with six decades of songs, McPherson aims high this is no biographical jukebox musical.
(Later Dylans birthplace.)
The challenge of collaborating with this monumental body of work trips up the much-acclaimed McPherson.
They are a predictably sad lot of folks, each one in a bad way.
And then they break into often rousing rock tunes.
The cast and on-stage band put over the songs well in their new arrangements.
(There are roughly 20, first recorded between 1963 and 2012.)
(Sorry: no.
Thats just one storyline that is dropped like a stitch in a homemade scarf.)
And good grief, whats with the disco ball?
Also Kimber Sprawl as the girl-in-trouble whom he woos.
Luba Mason delights doing triple duty acting, singing, and playing the drums.
And the watchable Mare Winningham has a stand-out moment leading the group in Like a Rolling Stone.
After more than two hours in their company, many ofNorth Countrys residents remain complete unknowns.B
