Willie Nelson – City of New Orleans (1984)

Description

Willie Nelson City of New Orleans vinyl LP from 1984 features Willie’s distinctive interpretation of the Steve Goodman classic along with an eclectic collection of country and pop standards.

Produced by Chips Moman, the album includes “City of New Orleans,” “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues,” “Please Come to Boston,” “Cry,” “Wind Beneath My Wings,” and “Until It’s Time for You to Go.” Willie brings his unmistakable phrasing and relaxed delivery to material from an unusually diverse group of songwriters.

This is a U.S. Columbia Records Pittman pressing, identified by the “P” etched in the runouts. The deadwax also carries the denny/WOODLand mastering inscription.

The vinyl is exceptionally clean and grades VG++ approaching NM-. It has been fully play tested and delivers excellent playback, with only very slight surface noise noticeable during some quiet passages. The attractive illustrated cover is likewise VG++ approaching NM-, showing only minor signs of storage and handling.

Also included is the original 39145 custom photo inner sleeve, featuring Willie Nelson and railroad imagery complementing the album’s theme. The inner grades VG+ with some creasing.
