The original was by Arlo Guthrie and well worth a listen. His father was Woody Guthrie legend of folk and country,best known for the song This Land is Your Land. Woody was born in 1912 in Okemah,Oklahoma died in 1967. Arlo was born on 1947 in Coney Island NY.Arlo performed at Woodstock. Either one of these men would be great to listen to,Woody was hero to about every other folk country artist that came after.

[@Jelcie]

The original was by the amazing man who wrote the song, Steve Goodman. Arlo was good, but the original remains the best

[@mirandak3273]

@@Jelciebut Goodman gave it to Arlo so it was how it became a hit.

[@RealTechZen]

​@@mirandak3273He didn't "give" it to Arlo, and Arlo had to give up his first 5 years of royalties for altering and recording it without permission. John Denver released a shortened version, with permission, a year before Arlo's hijack. What remains of the train, including the Ponchartrain Club Car, is at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Logansport, IN, which was one of the stops on the route.

[@willdwyer6782]

Woody Guthrie once rented an apartment in Brooklyn from the Trump family in the 1950s and wrote a song about getting evicted by Fred Trump for inviting black guests into a segregated building. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKxpomBmr6YsNUsi=789gqwJNZyM3JRNA

[@willdwyer6782]

@@RealTechZen the story I heard was that Steve wanted him to record it. They bumped into each other in a bar in Chicago and Steve wanted to play it for him. Arlo said, "buy me a beer and I'll listen as long as it takes me to finish it."

[@robotto8858]

Arlo Guthrie's song! Love the original. All respect to the great artists here, but the Arlo version gives me the "feels" that this cover doesn't touch.

[@CurlieGrl]

Agreed 100%

[@subwaygoddess1]

Yep, Arlo!

[@joemc1960]

Original’s by Steve Goodman.

[@Dragonsinger71]

Add me to the group. Arlo's is the one to react to. Nothing against the Highwaymen. I have this music, and we are talking country legends, but I wasn't all that enthused of their covers. When they performed their own music, then I was interested.

[@johncampbell756]

I didn't recognize it until the chorus , but now I can't unhear Arlo's.

[@williamlenderman387]

I've never heard this cover. Steve Goodman wrote the song but Arlo Guthrie had a hit with it.

[@db4982]

The only version of 'City of New Orleans' that I had heard (up until now) is from Arlo Guthrie. This version was nice, but I prefer Arlo Guthrie's version. It was a major hit for him in 1973. You might want to check it out sometime.

[@sahewins]

Steve Goodman who wrote it also does an excellent rendition of this beautiful song.

[@JIMBEARRI]

"City of New Orleans" is about a train from Chicago to New Orleans. As others have said, Arlo Guthrie's version can't be surpassed.

[@artteriosclerosis4891]

Amtrak still has a train City of New Orleans that runs daily from New Orleans to Chicago and back.

[@stevehatton-bw3bo]

I’ll stand firmly with the original by Arlo Guthrie as mentioned by many others. Willie, although I love the guy, didn’t do this song justice! So now you can do the original as part of another day of cover songs!!❤❤❤

[@andyfletcher3561]

Yeah, he wasn't the one to lead on this. MAYBE Kris or Waylon, or Johnny as a solo. Didn't really feel like they were putting anything into it to me, especially Willy. SOME songs SOME people maybe just shouldn't touch.

[@kathy1013]

@@andyfletcher3561Absolutely agree. Hope they will give the original a listen. So much better.

[@NavvyMom]

Willie screwed around with it by singing too fast, rushing the lyrics and then having to wait for everyone else to finish the phrase before starting the next line,. Annoying.

[@MrIaninuk]

My advice to any KZbinrs making song reactions would be to seek out the originals first.

[@allendixon7700]

​@@kathy1013Trucker Tr UCKAR tracker, did you? Uh, did you talk to Teddy bear b? E!A? R?

[@stevenblock9712]

I have to add myself to the listeners who have already told you that this song "belongs" to Arlo Guthrie (Woody Guthrie's son), who was very big from the 18 1/2 minutes long "Alice's Restaurant". It was also sung beautifully by Judy Collins on her "Judith" album. You might not want to spend so much time for "Alice", but it's so much fun to hear.

[@KenRoerden]

I have loved This Land Is Your Land as far back as I can remember. Woody Guthrie was an American folk music icon. Arlo followed in his footsteps and I grew up with Alice's Restaurant. It is worth doing here. He also did The Motorcycle Song. He did Coming Into Los Angeles at Woodstock. The City Of New Orleans is his best. The tempo is just a little bit slower than this version and the one by Judy Collins and just right for Jay's cigar, whiskey and hammock.

[@Rosedach]

I always associate "Alice's Restaurant" with Thanksgiving.

[@NavvyMom]

@@Rosedach One of our Philly radio stations plays it every Thanksgiving.

[@andymageen5308]

As many will comment, this song belongs to Arlo Guthrie, always has, always will. This version is great because of the band and Willie can do anything. ✌️

[@Jelcie]

Nope. Belongs to Steve Goodman. He wrote it and it while I love Arlo, I cherish Steve. He was amazing

[@surlechapeau]

This is nice, but Arlo Guthrie has the best version of this Steve Goodman song.

[@ORagnar]

You're right. That version is legendary. o

[@stephensmith3111]

No argument concerning Arlo son of Woody, but reqardless of the performers, this is 'THE BEST D**N TRAIN SONG EVER!'

[@sabredesatanas518]

Just going to post the same thing! You are dead right!

[@edprzydatek8398]

This is a great train song and I've done it many times at open mics, but another great train song is "Some Go Home" by Jerry Jeff Walker. Maybe check it out.

[@usmcrn4418]

Definitely!!

[@Russ-gy7tx]

Please react to the original song "City of New Orleans", which was released in 1972 by Arlo Guthrie. Arlo's father, Woody Guthrie, was an American folk singer-songwriter who wrote "This Land is Your Land" during the 1930s through the 1950s and was born in Oklahoma.

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

A love song to Americas Native Son...The Railroad ...and its massive contribution to this country...as the writer watches it fade away into history.😎

[@redpine8665]

The railroads are still alive and well though. It's amazing that essentially unchanged rail service still holds a place in modern society.

[@StarGeezerTim]

Admirable version by legendary men. That said, I agree with others here...Arlo Guthrie just hits different, and is worth checking out, perhaps when you do one of your "covers" days. Fabulous reaction as always my friends!

[@usmcrn4418]

Speaking to Amber’s insightful comments about travel.. Mark Twain would agree 😊 ““Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

[@markvollmer4021]

Jay, you nailed it: Willie Nelson is quintessentially American, as are all the Highwaymen. Amber, you spoke truth about travel: as a train passenger veteran I always look forward to meeting people from many walks of life & sharing stories with them. And the unhurried pace of train travel allows you to see into the heart of America rolling outside the window. Fun fact: Steve Goodman wrote the song & was a fan of Arlo Guthrie. One time in 1970 Arlo was playing in a Chicago bar & after the show was over, the bar's owner introduced Steve to him by saying Steve wanted to sing him a song. Arlo was tired of hearing people play their songs to him but Steve persisted & Arlo said, "Tell you what. Buy me a beer. I'll sit here & drink it. As long as it lasts, you can do whatever you want." The song Steve played was "City of New Orleans." Arlo loved it & made a hit song out of it. 🙂

[@elizabethfranco1284]

You really need both some Woody and Arlo Guthrie in your lives. You absolutely have to do The City of New Orleans the original by Arlo Guthrie.

[@ediefolta9494]

*Deportee " by Woody Guthrie is a great song.

[@dianetaylor841]

Yes!

[@leeanne7169]

Mickey Raphael has been Willie's harmonica player since 1972 !!! He is so good. Also...you can hear Willie's guitar playing over all the music playing. He is so good too!!

[@robertmohl171]

In one of Willie's books he talks about when Mickey Raphael was playing with him when he played in Mickey's area (i think he was in his late teens). After one of the shows they were all hanging out and Willie asked how much they were paying Mickey. One of the other band members said we pay him nothing, so Willie said, Well, double it.

[@johnsexton2200]

Love The Highway Men! The original is by Arlo Guthrie, and well worth checking out. Desperados Waiting on a Train is another great song by the Highway Men.

great song written by Steve Goodman. Arlo Guthrie had a pretty popular version of it several years back too. The man killing it on the harmonica was Mickey Raphael. Such an impressive group of legends.

[@amputeeright]

Arlo Guthrie's version was one of my dad's favorite songs. I have memories of cruising in his GTO, and all of us singing along. We played it at his memorial service, and the whole room sang.

[@wilelowman]

[@queenbeedat8726]

I grew up with Arlo's version but this was special. Great performance.

[@SJCoug1]

Two of my favorite Highwayman songs are Desperados Waiting for a Train and The Last Cowboy Song. The live performances from this concert are nice so you can see who’s singing and playing instruments.

Arlo Guthrie's 1972 version was inducted into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hope you react to this on those days you do originals or covers of songs you have already reacted to. (Which is really fun when you do that.) Willie recorded this song originally in the 80s. (This is a later version you reacted to)

This was good. But check out Arlo Guthrie on this song. It's a classic. I would've liked to hear Kris on this on this cover of Guthrie's song.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

“The City of New Orleans” is the name of the train they were riding on. A lot of trains were named after cities back in the day.

[@joetabor539]

As many have said this song is a cover of the Song by Arlo Guthrie. His most famous song is "Alice's Restaurant Massacree", commonly known as "Alice's Restaurant." Released in 1967 with a whopping runtime of over 18 minutes. I highly recommend this being your first song to react to by Arlo. Arlo is the son of Woody Gutherie who wrote and sang the song "This Land is your Land." Another wonderful song by Arlo besides City of New Orleans is Coming into Los Angeles.

[@dscotthoward7467]

The original by Arlo Guthrie is the best! This version isn't nearly as good. At least the crowd knows the original.

[@denatokaya5510]

Great reaction, Jay and Amber! Arlo Guthrie is the son of Woody Guthrie who sang, "This Land is Your Land" and many others. This was a very popular when I was young in the 1960's and 1970's. This song fell in well with the Hippie and Flower Children.

[@wiggion]

I bet at one time or another, each one of these four has done this song as a solo for an audience. Written by Steve Goodman in 1971. First recording or first cover by Arlo Guthrie 1972. This is more folk than country. Arlo is son of Woodie Guthrie, Woodie wrote among others: 'This Land is Your Land", "So Long (It's Been Good to Know Yuh)". This is an American classic. Don't know if there a gathered "American Songbook", if so, this would be in it. Kris Kristofferson wrote 'Me and Bobbie McGee" for Janis Joplin.

As many have said this song was written by Steve Goodman, from Chicago. He was a big Chicago Cubs fan, he wrote and sung "Go Cubs Go", but the one you need to listen to as baseball season is getting ready to start is "A Dying Cub Fan Last Request". Unfortunately Steve passed away in 1984, from Leukemia, he never did see his Cubs win the WS. As another song Steve wrote, that you may have heard, "You Never Call Me By My Name" sung by David Allen Cole. John Prine co-wrote it with Steve, but did not want to be included in the credits, he did not want anyone that they were making fun of them with the "4th verse".

[@rbb9753]

As many have noted, this was written by Steve Goodman. You need to check out David Allen Cole’s version of Steve’s “perfect country and western song”, “You Never Even Called Me by My Name”.

[@KimSimful]

[@stevehamilton8824]

Excellent song! One of my favorite by this band. Willie is awesome, but the group itself is iconic. But this song has such a story and just makes you feel good, the harmonies are beautiful, the harmonica sets the mood and you see a bunch of brothers enjoying their time together on stage. All of them unique and different in their beliefs but sharing a bond. PERFECT! Backstory: This song was written/composed by Steve Goodman in 1970, released in 1972, which Arlo Guthrie covered and made popular. Goodman wrote this while traveling on the train with his wife and what he saw out the window and what people were doing in the train. Everything in the song actually happened on the train ride. When he returned home he had heard that the train was being decommissioned due to a lack of passengers.

[@angelariebli4843]

Arlo can write a ditty. And these performance is giving me all the feels. I was at Willie's 90th at Hollywood Bowl -- Nathaniel Rateliff sang this one. And the audience was SINGING!! And the Highway Men Children were there....and it was too special.

[@chrisedwards7095]

On tour they performed duets and solos that they had recorded before the "Highwayman" album. Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash recorded this song separately but Willie got the bigger hit from it. Still, you should hear Arlo Guthrie's version.

[@vernonbolinger9488]

Arlo Guthrie,s version is by far the best. Much more feeling in his voice. This version is much too hurried and the harmonica just gets in the way.

[@NavvyMom]

The only one hurrying was Willie. The harmonica was a nice touch. Willie ruined it by rushing ahead instead of letting the lyrics blend with the instruments. I wonder if the others liked that or if it was annoying and they were just too classy and professional to let it bother them.

[@JB-yb4wn]

Arlo is far, far better than these slack-jawed hillbillies. No idea how they even found this horrible video, because the one with Arlo is plastered all over the place when you search it here.

Most people won't experience riding on a train. I only have once. My best friend was a special ed teacher with a degree in psychology and music therapy, and professional musician. He loved trains, having lived in Chicago when he was young. He was murdered, stabbed in the heart by a disturbed student at John Tyler High in Tyler. His friends and I scattered his ashes while riding a train in East Texas.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Willie's guitar is named 'Trigger' & you can see he is wearing a hole thru it where his wrist rubs & today the hole is completely worn thru... and Willie is still using it. Saw him perform live a couple months ago on Colbert I think it was. I would love to have attended one of these concerts. And, I like how they backed each other on one another's 'solo' songs & then songs together. Legends, all.

[@jakeburns6566]

[@9696gamer]

I found the footage of this concert about a year or so by coincidence and I have been enthralled by most of the performances. I personally most enjoy "There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" and "The Best of All Possible World", but there's so many more good songs worth listening. "Good Hearted Woman", "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way", "Sundy Morning Coming Down", and so many more. Hope to see you listen to more of the Highwaymen!

[@MrRiverfeverwa]

Like most everyone here, this version is okay but the original by Arlo Guthrie is THE ONE you should review...its amazing.

[@grievousangelic]

"City of New Orleans" certainly belongs in The Great American Songbook. But do listen to the original version by Arlo Guthrie (son of folk singer Woody Guthrie who wrote "This Land is Your Land" -- also worth a react). His rendition is truly wonderful. And yes, it ran from Chicago to New Orleans. The songwriter was the late Steve Goodman, and this is one of the most poignant songs in popular American music. Love the reaction, as always. Peace. ❤

I cant hear their music wo traveling back in time; sitting in those air cushioned big boy seats and all the glory of the dash of that kenworth. what a lifelong memory! thank you

One of the guitarists who played with the Highway Men is a Brit called Hank Marvin. He was in a band called The Shadows who also worked with the British singer Cliff Richard. 'Apache' was their biggest hit.

[@richardolson7157]

Elvis's last concert and last song performed in downtown indianapolis is beautiful and so sad at the same time. He was so messed up that he forgets the lines to the song.

This song speaks to me so deeply. I am the son of a railroad fireman/engineer. I grew up in a town that was largely built by the railroad. When semi trucks and interstate highways started getting larger the railroads started to disappear. My hometown is a shell of its former self. Every time I go back home it makes me very sad to think of what it used to be.

It's like riding my MC, it's not the destination it's the journey .🛵🛵🛵

This song was written by the late Steve Goodman. A folk singer/songwriter. You will love to dive into some of his stuff. Also, the late Jimmy Buffett covered a lot of his songs too!

This song was written by Steve Goodman, who played it for Arlo Guthry, hoping he would record it Guthry did record it and it charted for him. Goodman recorded his own version later. The song has become kind of a folk anthem and has been recorded by numerous artists.

its on Steve Goodman's 1971 self titled album, so he recorded it first. Arlo 1972.

There is a wonderful moment by John Denver at a concert complaining that Arlo Guthrie got his record out first and had the big hit. Then John sings it.

In the French-speaking world this melody is known by the adaptation Salut les amoureux by Joe Dassin, about former lovers reflecting on their past relationship.

This song is written by the late, great Steve Goodman. He was a friend of John Prine's in the Chicago bar days. One night, Arlo Guthrie was playing at a small club. After his performance, Steve Goodman walked up and asked Arlo, "can I play you a song, I think you will like it." Arlo said, "kid, I am going to sit here, drink a beer, and you can do whatever you like while I drink it." He played this song and wowed Arlo, who covered it. Arlo said, "best beer I ever had!". Arlo's only top ten hit was this song. If you get a chance, check out Tribute to Steve Goodman. He died young of lukema but his songwriting endures to this day.

Kris Kristopherson and Rita Coolidge, Help me Make it Through the Night" You did Rita Coolidge one on a female friday. I know you would absolutely love that song.

Amber's takes are always so spot on.

Absolutely love Willie Nelson’s voice and his guitar so old and loved he’s worn a hole it but still using it

That was the best concert I've ever seen. I think this concert on YOU TUBE. I saw it on PBS years ago. True brothers ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Kris and Willy only 3 left. So sad, but those memories. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mizdink]

They are greats, but they just missed the mark on this performance. You have to 'feel' this song. I always tear up when I hear Arlo Guthrie's version.

[@loakland2773]

Great show everyday for a life relief. Arlo Guthrie owns this song and is by far the best version - IMHO.... The Highway Men are each legends but Arlo's version is the one should try out. Thanks for all you do...

Adam Ant's stage costume had been that of a Highway Man, at one point 😁

My parents took myself and my little brother on a train trip from Tampa, Florida to New Orleans (a night trip), back in the late 60's, from what I remember of the daylight part of it, it was wonderful. The rocking of the train will definitely put a young kid to sleep.

That awesome train named "The City of New Orleans" ran between Chicago to New Orleans from 1947 until put out of commission in 1971. I wonder in which rail yard she lies today..but I believe under a different name, she's still in service
