Songs about New Orleans

How about the different Elvis song of that title from "King Creole"?
And don't forget Jerry Lee's "Lewis Boogie" has a nice mention of the
great city
"Well,down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
The best doggone place,honey that I've ever seen..."
(To make things even better he goes on to sing about your latest port
of call in the song---Memphis! :)

Consider "Louisiana Man" (4/68 #96 Cash Box) by Bobbie Gentry. It's
along the same line as Guthrie's "City of New Orleans" train ride.
Song excerpt:
"He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River,
Got to catch a big fish for us to eat.
He's settin' his traps catchin' anything he can,
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man,
Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man."

The River In Reverse - Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint
9thWard - Magic (caution: rap)
Black Rain - Ben Harper
Desde New Orleans - Fredy Omar con su Banda
You can find the first two on "Our New Orleans: A Benefit Album For The
Gulf Coast Hurricane Victims." The third is the title track of the
Costello/Toussaint collaboration CD from last year.
A couple albums that treat Katrina and New Orleans thematically:
"What's Going On" - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band - This is actually an
astonishing remake of the Marvin Gaye LP, which takes on a remarkable
post-storm context in the hands of the band and a number of guest
vocalists. One of my favorite CDs of 2006.
"After The Rain" - Irma Thomas Old and new songs that take on a
special resonance because of the storm. And anything sung by Irma
Thomas is automatically about New Orleans.
And I know you aren't real fond of rap, but there's been some really
impressive stuff about New Orleans since Katrina. The best one I've
heard recently is "Louisiana 2005" by Bass Is Loaded Coalition. It's
built over Aaron Neville's version of Randy Newman's "Louisiana, 1927."

"New Orleans Hop Scop Blues," written by George Washington Thomas (c.
1884-1930). His friend Clarence Williams recalled: "I met Thomas in
1911, in Houston, Texas.[...] Thomas composed 'New Orleans Hop Scop
Blues' which was the first tune with the 'Boogie Woogie' bass movement.
I first heard him play it in[...] 1911. At that time he called it the
'Hop Scop Blues' because of the rolling, hopping bass. It was an
instrumental tune. In 1913 I went back to New Orleans and established a
publishing company under the name 'Williams and Piron.' My friend,
Thomas, joined me in New Orleans in 1914. Inspired by my success, he
opened a music publishing house and in 1916, published 'New Orleans Hop
Scop Blues,' which was originally his 'Hop Scop Blues.' He wrote lyrics
to it and named it after New Orleans because the Crescent City was the
music center of the south. Therefore he wanted to get the good will of
the music buying public and increase the sales value."

Nice rhymes, but a bit too old school - Remember the Goats and 'Tricks

rage and stronger beats.
I downloaded it and will listen to it again with a better system;
perhaps that is the problem.

If you haven't mellowed too much, however, you may want to put on "Long
Before The Superdome/New Orleans" by Chief Wiggum and the Simpsons
characters, from the best Simpsons episode ever, A Streetcar Named
Marge, in which the characters put on a hilariously misguided musical
adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play:
Wiggum:
Long before the SuperDome,
Where the Saints of football play,
Lived a city that the damned called home.
Hear their hellish roundelay...
Cast:
New Orleans!
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleans!
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to hell, you should make that trip,
To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!
New Orleans!
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleans!
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleans!
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!
New Orleans!
NO residents were not pleased. It's on Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons,
though.
Also, I don't think anyone's mentioned Linda McCartney's "New Orleans"
(an original, but nothing special) or Mary Chapin Carpenter's excellent
"Down At The Twist And Shout".

I would prefer to see this song credited to the songwriter - the late
Steve Goodman (of folk music reknown, from Chicago), who was also the
first performer of the song.
Arlo just took advantage of it to make it a bigger song, sort of like
the role Bette Midler would do later with "From A Distance". The
artists with more commercial appeal, or fame, do have a claim on the
song, but it is good to see in retrospect that most people now
associate "Blowin' In The Wind" with Bob Dylan, rather than Peter, Paul
& Mary. It is also one of my fondest hopes that "Who Knows Where The
Time Goes" will be more associated with Sandy Denny (the writer and
original performer) than Judy Collins, and "Heart Like A Wheel" will be
more associated with The McGarrigle Sisters, than with Linda Ronstadt.
Eh! (as if the flip a hand in an Italian-like gesture of peeve), I
guess Aretha still will always have 100% ownership on "Respect".

At Goodman's request, of course...he approached Guthrie in a bar and
basically begged him to listen to the song. Turned out quite well for
him, I'd say. Of course, he wrote a great song, but I just want to be
careful and make clear that no one thinks Guthrie ripped Goodman off or
denied him the chance to have a hit with his own version.
Michael Black
I don't think that was implied by the previous poster.
The moment I saw the song, my thought was "but Steve Goodman wrote it".
There's no doubt that Arlo's version was successful, maybe the most
successful version of the song, but the attribute where it first
gets mentioned in this thread suggests Arlo wrote it. (And I know
early on when I heard it, I thought that myself, it being a railroad
song it was easy to believe that Arlo was trying to write a song like
one of Woody's.) I don't think it was a malicious attribute, I think
the intent was to specifically mention Arlo's version. But for those
who don't know that Steve Goodman wrote it, it does seem unfair to not
mention that Goodman wrote it.
There are plenty of instances of a song being better when recorded
by someone other than the songwriter. But then it's important to
make it clear one is talking about the recording, rather than
the song that happens to be written by someone else.
Michael
Duncanmusic
"Aerie" LP (between the "Poems, Prayers and Promises" and "Rocky
Mountain High" LPs)and had the cajones to "modify" the song in his
recording AND add his name to the writer credits for his own efforts
(they did nothing to add to it). In all fairness, I do believe he
thought he was doing Goodman a favor (he also covered fellow Chicagoan
John Prine's "Spanish Pipedream" without alterations) and I do know
from asking Goodman at the time that he wasn't TOO unhappy with it
being covered, if only for the slim royalties (Denver was just
beginning his big 70s run as his previous LP had "Country Roads", "My
Sweet Lady" and "Sunshine on my Shoulder"..."Aerie" was not as big a
seller) he saw before Arlo took it to the charts. Denver ALSO recorded
it AGAIn on his last CD on Sony, 1997's "All Aboard", which was
ostensibly a Children's CD of Train songs, and a fine CD at that. This
time he gave Goodman sole credits.
yougotl...@yahoo.com
I meant that - Arlo was taking advantage of an opportunity - not
Goodman. I'm sure Guthrie enjoyed the boost it gave to his career,
and I give him credit for recognizing a good opportunity, but I don't
know the whole story.
BobbyM
news:1169574794.8...@k78g2000cwa.googlegroups.com...
I would say that song did more for Goodman's career than it did Guthrie's.
Arlo Guthrie was already well known. If it weren't for that song and David
Allen Coe's revision of "You Never Even Called Me By My Name," most people
wouldn't even know that Goodman had existed.
