Jerry Reed - City Of New Orleans

Steve Goodman was performing in his native Chicago when Kris Kristofferson [born in Brownsville, Tex. like emoticon like emoticon ) discovered him. Arlo Guthrie made City of New Orleans famous when he recorded the song in 1972. ABC News show Good Morning America took its name from the lyrics of the chorus. Many artists also recorded the song.  This version by Jerry Reed is a favorite.
