I'm mostly unqualified to hold forth on Willie Nelson's music, beyond a general affection for his nasally pipes and an amusement over his very public stoniness. But his lovely version of this paean to the faded railroad life of America sends a not so patriotic chill up my spine. Which alone makes it a totally suitable tune for this Memorial Day weekend. (And I'm pretty sure Willie will be firing up more than a grill on Monday.) Meanwhile, see you back on Tuesday.
Willie Nelson - City Of New Orleans
