About This Song
About "City of New Orleans (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - March 1990)" by The Highwaymen
A live elegy for a vanishing America, sung by four weathered voices. The Highwaymen turn 'City of New Orleans' into a rolling requiem—train wheels clicking like a clock's last ticks. There's warmth in the harmony, but unease in the distance: the road ahead is always longer than the one behind.
