City of New Orleans<\/strong> is a folk song written by \u2192Steve Goodman<\/a><\/strong>, describing a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans via the Illinois Central Railroad in bittersweet and nostalgic terms. Goodman got the idea while traveling on the eponymous train for a visit to his wife’s family. He performed the song for Arlo Guthrie<\/strong> in the Quiet Knight, a bar in Chicago, and Guthrie agreed to add it to his repertoire. The song was a hit for Guthrie on his 1972 album Hobo’s Lullaby, and is now more closely associated with him, although Goodman performed it until his death in 1984. The song has also been covered by Willie Nelson<\/strong>, John Denver, Johnny Cash<\/strong>, Judy Collins, Jerry Reed, \u2192Chet Atkins<\/strong><\/a>, Hank Snow, and others.<\/p>\n
