City of New Orleans is a studio album by Willie Nelson released in 1984. The title comes from the eponymous song by Steve Goodman, which narrates a journey on the City of New Orleans train.
The album includes a mix of original songs and covers, featuring collaborations with musicians such as Johnny Gimble and Bee Spears. It was recorded at Pedernales Recording studios in Texas.
Although not one of Nelson's most commercially successful albums, it received positive reviews for its relaxed style and the emotional rendition of the title track, which became a classic in his repertoire.
