About This Song
About "City of New Orleans (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - March 1990)" by Waylon Jennings
Waylon Jennings transforms Steve Goodman's folk tune into a weary, rollicking travelogue. His lived-in drawl captures the rhythm of the rails, each verse a snapshot of America sliding past a train window. The live crowd's energy fuels the song's restless spirit, a poignant ode to motion and memory.
