First time hearing 'City Of New Orleans' by STEVE GOODMAN

The City of New Orleans derailed in March of 1999 when the driver of a semi-truck loaded with steel tried and failed to beat the crossing. Eleven people died. An acquaintance of mine was aboard the train when it happened and helped render aid to survivors.

[@kathleenmccrory9883]

No. Why are you making up this story? That train had a derailment in 1971 with 11 fatalities. Not 1999. No semi was involved either.

[@j.s.matlock1456]

@@kathleenmccrory9883 It happened more than once, and my friend was on the train when it happened in 1999. In 1971 The City of New Orleans derailed near Salem, Illinois and killed 11 people, injuring 163. In 1999, the train collided with a semi-truck and derailed in Bourbonnais, Illinois which killed 11 people and injured 121. Google is your friend.

@@kathleenmccrory9883 I didn't make up anything. The City of New Orleans has derailed more than once. In 1971 it derailed near Salem, Illinois. The derailment was caused by a seized axle bearing. The accident killed 11 people and injured 163. The City of New Orleans also derailed in 1999, on March 15 when it struck a semi loaded with steel. Some of the rebar landed on the track and caused the derailment. In this accident, 11 people were killed and 121 were injured. Google is your friend.

Wow, that's dark.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

I love his music! He does seem upbeat perhaps because he had so much life to live in such a short time.

[@marywade5520]

Such an under appreciated talent. Love him. He was a good friend of John Prine - they performed together quite a bit.

[@DaveWildheart]

Definitely seems underrated

[@barbaraarmstrong5253]

Never rode the Vomit Comet because I lived in central Illinois. I did ride the City of New Orleans and the Panama Limited to my university in Southern Illinois during what I call “the Hippie 60’s”. His lyrics are very accurate! Always loved this song. Brings back memories of my youth. Kankakee is about an hour south of Chicago.

[@KCGeno]

Go Salukis! I was on the air at WTAO during the mid-70s. My (now late) husband of 42 years worked at Italian Village when we met.

[@halavana1]

saw Steve Goodman as the opening act for Steve Martin way back when I was in high school!

[@rorystorm4284]

Nice, I'm sure he's virtually unknown to younger generations so very glad you're doing this. Amazing talent as a singer/songwriter. And from everything I've read, a truly nice guy.

[@DaveWildheart]

Definitely seems like it

[@KCGeno]

I got to know both Steve and John Prine, just a little, when I was a kid. Brings me joyful memories to see this great performance.

[@dannymoore6886]

He was a great songwriter. He and John Prine used to hang out together in Chicago. Two of America's greatest songwriters together. Steve is under appreciated because he died so young. Most of his greatest songs were hits by other performers. The City Of New Orleans was a hit for Arlo Guthrie, You Never Even Call Me By My Name was a hit for David Allen Coe. It's a barroom classic. When it comes on, all the drunks sing it.

[@DaveWildheart]

I'll take a look!

[@mtnmtn4834]

“Passengers will please refrain” refers to the sign in the train bathroom that said “Passengers will please refrain from flushing while in the station”, because the flush basically just dropped everything below the car.

[@billkant849]

Not gonna say the wife and I were big fans...but we collected 10 of his albums over the years and were lucky enough to see him live one time. Good to see someone react to his work.

[@DaveWildheart]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@mtnmtn4834]

Steve was one of the 4 songwriters that Johnny Cash called out as his favorites, along with Dylan, John Prine, and Guy Clark. Pretty high praise if you ask me.

[@DaveWildheart]

Yeah definitely high praise!

[@munchausen8755]

Steve Goodman was friends with John Prine and Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy Buffett appeared on at least one album under the stage name Marvin Gardens. Goodman has so many amazing songs and he was a great acoustic guitarist. He showed a brief glimpse of his skill near the end of this video. His song It's a Sin to Tell a Lie is an excellent example of his guitar skill. For insane lyrics, try Talk Backwards (yes, he sings several lines in reverse). His song My Old Man is so heartwrenching I can't listen to it since my dad passed away. I hope you enjoy his work.

[@debzvideos]

Another fun song from Steve Goodman is "The Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request". I think there's a KZbin video out there of him singing that song in Wrigley Field. Steve was a BIG Chicago Cubs baseball team fan & the Chicago Cubs went over 100 years before they won a World Series (the big prize) . In September of 1984 the Chicago Cubs got really close to being able to compete for that coveted title, but in the end, they weren't able to grab it. However, Steve unfortunately died of leukemia just a couple of weeks before the Cubs got to the place in the standings that the team might POSSIBLY get to that place. The Cubs did finally, after 108 years, win the World Series in 2016. I found the video & here's the link. Unfortunately, after watching it, there are so many allusions to local history & all that I don't think you'll understand the whole song, but maybe you'll like the song any way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bamlqY19hpaXgM0si=Qedp6VNiHzODmYOn

[@DaveWildheart]

Thanks a lot for the message. I'll take a look at it it anyway. Seems fun!

[@amyk6659]

As a Cubs fan, I love this song. We're a long-suffering crowd, for sure. We also love "Go Cubs Go" song he wrote and recorded. Oh, that 1984 team. What a season! Keep Ryne Sandberg in your prayers, since his prostate cancer returned.

Years ago trains made a rhythmic clacking sound as the wheels ran across the joints in the tracks. That is the sound he is mimicking with the guitar.

[@jeraldtillery4817]

I knew he wrote this, but I've never heard this version. I know the Arlo Guthrie version best and it has always seemed like a sad reminiscing song. This seems so upbeat compared to other versions I've heard.

[@tomhiggins875]

It's a faster tempo than Steve usually used when performing, which makes it sound more upbeat.

[@DaveWildheart]

Definitely seems upbeat. Especially given the darker nature of the song.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I used to see Steve, John Prine and Bonnie Koloc play in Chicago bars over 50 years ago. They were good friends and often performed together. I would recommend Steve’s version of The Dutchman which is similar in meaning to Prines classic Hello In There.

[@DaveWildheart]

I can imagine!

[@carlr2837]

As someone who used to live in Chicago, another song of Steve Goodman that was a favorite was the "Lincoln Park Pirates", which is about a towing company. So that you can understand what you are hearing when you listen to the song, I will tell you about a friend that encountered them (unfortunately). He went to visit another friend who lived in an apartment in Evanston. He parked in the lot by the apartment, and knocked on the door. The guy who lived there opened the door, and the first question out of his mouth was "where did you park?". When he said "Just over there", the guy said "move it before it is too late!" But it was already too late. The Lincoln Towing company already had his car off the ground, and he had to pay some outrageous fee, like $90, to get his car released. They had spotters everywhere, who were rumored to get a $20 cut if they saw a car park somewhere that it could be towed, and it was said that the pirates could tow a car from anywhere in the metroplex in 90 seconds or less. The song was incredibly popular in Chicago, but not so much elsewhere, because people in Chicago fully appreciated what it was about.

[@DaveWildheart]

Oh wow, what an awesome lyrical concept. I need to check it out!

[@allensarkozy4109]

Wow, this brings back wonderful memories of the 1970's to me, I saw Steve Goodman's show in small clubs with my future wife (her idea) twice in June of 1975 in Denver, CO and in September of 1978 in Boulder, Co. He was a great vocalist, songwriter (the Arlo Guthrie's version of this song is memorable) and he was a good performer. He was a dedicated Chicago Cubs baseball fan and left this world too early, Rest in Peace.

[@edwardmeade]

In the 50s my family was living in Northern Illinois (Sandwich) and we took the City of New Orleans from Chicago to Baton Rouge to visit my grandparents. I was five but I still remember that ride. We took the Panama Limited home.

[@alan_walker102]

greatsong and songwriter. Willie Nelson turned this into a huge mainstream hit . you should hear it just for context and see how great steve goodman really was. You should also visit "you don't have to call me darlin" by david allan coe. He directly credits steve goodman!

Yes, it's a must must must listen to the Willie nelson version

[@sixpakshaker88]

Thanks, I always knew the Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson versions. For the longest time I thought it was Arlo's song.I mostly heard about Steve through my John Prine fandom.

[@Endtimescoming]

I thought this was Arlo's song as well, actually I thought it was written by Woody. It wasn't until a few months ago I learned it was Steve Goodman's song and much newer than I thought.

[@markalumbaugh2756]

Steve Goodman was mostly a song writer.. Willie Nelson took it to new heights. Check out Willie Nelson singing this with super group, The Highway Men

[@jackcotner8981]

Nice selection! Enjoyed your presentation and lyrics explanation though I've heard this song for years, usually by Willie Nelson or Arlo Guthrie. Good job!

[@DaveWildheart]

Thanks very much!

[@sylvanaire]

I’ve never heard of this guy before, but I love the song. I’ve only ever heard it by Arlo Guthrie. He slows it down quite a bit and it’s a little more melancholy. I can’t say I like one more than the other really because it’s hard to tell whether it’s just because I heard Arlo’s version first. But it’s interesting to hear a different take.

[@BDUBZ49]

Steve had a couple songs of note that were pertinent to Chicagoans. One was called "The Lincoln Park Pirates" about a car towing service in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, that would tow cars illegally and use strongarm tactics to collect fees, etc. The news press and city officials had to get involved. They tried several times for decades to shut them down. Unfortunately they're still in operation. The other song is called "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request". And of course he wrote "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" made famous by David Allan Coe.

[@melodiek5282]

Listen to his song “My Old Man”, written about his father.

[@marksholey8494]

Steve also wrote ( Never even called me by my name)

[@loucatozzi7656]

Steve Goodman won a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Country Song at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985 for Willie Nelson's version, which was included on Nelson's 1984 album City of New Orleans. I heard that Willie specifically released it so that it could be nominated for that award for Steve's family to receive some recognition that he rarely got in real life. When you listen to Steve singing it you hear the passion of the songwriter. Give Willie Nelson's version a listen, though. Much more effort went into "producing" that version.

[@DaveWildheart]

I love the respect between all these guys

[@ericzeichert511]

For some reason, people from there call it Nawlins, and no, the rest of us in the US don't understand it either, but we roll with it. Steve and John Prine wrote what they descrbe as the best country song ever. I first heard it live in a Johnny Cash concert, but many have done a cover. I don't know if Steve performed it, but I know Prine did. It's "You never even called me by my name" and it is a gen u wine hoot (good time music)

[@DaveWildheart]

I'll take a look for sure!

[@edwardmeade]

If you like this you should listen to Stan Rogers. He wrote dozens of great songs in his short life. I would suggest you start with the video of "Mary Ellen Carter" from the One Warm Line documentary. BTW, the man in the intro, First Mate Steve Cusak is a real-world hero. In the late 70s and early 80s a lot of American merchant ships were in bad shape and the USCG was letting the owners get away with it. After the S.S. Marine Electric sank in 1983 Steve Cusak blew the lid off the industry with his detailed notes of all the denied repair requests. From there you can head down the Stan Rogers rabbit hole with "Barrett's Privateers", "Northwest Passage", "The Field Behind the Plow", "Lies", "The Idiot", "Take It From Day to Day"...and on.

[@DaveWildheart]

Thanks a lot for the recommendations!

The Panama Ltd was another passenger train that also ran from Chicago to New Orleans. The "vomit comet" is the name given to any number of trains that run on the South Shore Line, which is a commuter rail that runs from the heart of downtown Chicago to South Bend International Airport in Indiana. It's used mostly by the daily workforce going to and from Northwest Indiana and the South Side of Chicago to get downtown. In it's earlier days it was also advertised as a means for travelers to get to recreation spots like the Indiana Dunes beaches or the University of Notre Dame for football games. Kankakee is a town with a population of 24K, about 60 miles southwest of Chicago., named for the Kankakee River that runs through it. "Kankakee" is derived from a Native word meaning "open land", as the region is mostly prairie/marsh.

But why was everyone vomiting on it? 😂

[@BDUBZ49]

@@DaveWildheart It was likely only called that by a certain group of people... those coming home after a late night in the Chicago pubs, or those attempting to go to work the next morning soused. 😀 That's actually the name given to the 747 jet used for astronaut training.

So in this version of his song Steve sings the original lyrics in the verse "And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers Ride their father's magic carpets made of steam" "Mother's with their babes asleep are rockin' to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they dream" You read the lyrics that found their way into this song sometime later (maybe by Steve, or another artist). Those lyrics you read changed the word "Steam" to "Steel" and the word "dream" to "Feel". All those words rhyme and work in the song. I like this version. How about y'all?

[@DaveWildheart]

Oh right, didn't catch that. That's for letting us know. I think I like steam and dream better to be fair.

Song is about a dying MidWest. And disappearing rail roads. There are 15 cars headed south with only 15 passengers.

[@carlr2837]

I believe that penny a point probably referred to the card game "Cribbage", where "penny a point" was not uncommon. I would add that "Passengers will please refrain" was the beginning of a commonly given speech, reminding passengers not to flush the toilets while the train was in the station, as there was no sewage treatment, and the "flush" simply dropped the sewage alongside the rails. I believe that the fact that the "rails still ain't heard the news" was related to the fact that this song was about the last trip of the "City of New Orleans".

[@DaveWildheart]

Oh that is funny as hell. Great but of lyrical insight there. Thanks a lot!

Penny (one cent - yes they are still in use) a point made games more fun and interesting for kids back in the day.

" ...the sons of Pullman porters". The luxurious Pullman sleeping cars were designed and built by engineer George Pullman. In the 1860s, he set up a works on the south side of Chicago- factory, assembly plant etc, and a company town with housing and a general store. Unfortunately he ran it like a mining operation where he controlled everything..wages, housing rent, general store prices which resulted in a violent and deadly workers strike. He was ordered by the government to divest his company of the town. The town became one of the 77 neighborhoods of Chicago, split into 2- Pullman, and West Pullman. The Pullman Porters were black men who staffed the cars, took care of the amenities and saw to passengers needs. They were paid only in tips.

[@DaveWildheart]

Wow, definitely crazy times

[@billbaker9623]

Great analysis. All respect to Steve. He wrote a wonderful song. Please do yourself a favor and watch Arlo Guthrie's version. Arlo is the son of Woody Gutherie, folk song royalty in the US. For me, Arlo's version is much more a lament of the deterioration of passenger rail service in the States. "Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders"- there would have been at lest ten times that number in the heyday of US rail travel. For many Arlo's version is the definitive one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHeUnaR7hquJi9E

This song is on the album "Somebody Else's Troubles". You NEED this album. Probably the finest anti-Viet Nam War song ever written "The Ballad of Penny Evans" will stop you in your tracks; it is sung acappella. Be prepared for a few minutes of quiet when the song is finished. It is often too hard to listen to anything else afterward. Stevie could write the tunes (Chicken Cordon Blues, You Don't Even Call Me By My Name, Yellow Coat, and more).
