GOODMAN, STEVE; MCCURDY, MICHAEL; GOODMAN, STEVE; MCCURDY, MICHAEL

The Train They Call the City of New Orleans Includes Audio Cd

Putnam Juvenile, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 9781591129028. Illustrated by Michael McCurdy. Carefully protected within a clear archival dust jacket. Includes audio cdGood morning, America, how are you? Said don't you know me? I'm your native son. I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans. I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done. This classic tune captured the timeless soul of the American countryside and the golden era when people crossed it by train. Immortalized by the magical voice of Arlo Guthrie and sung around campfires by millions, "City of New Orleans" narrates the journey of the train with that name as it runs from snowy, industrial Chicago through small Midwestern towns to lush Louisiana. Michael McCurdy's striking scratchboard-and-watercolor illustrations capture the change in landscapes seen out the windows and the lively events inside the cars, including a young adventurer exploring the entire train during his trip. Illustrated by Michael McCurdy. This popular American song by the late Chicago singer/songwriter Steve Goodman was recorded by a number of musicians, including John Denver. Perhaps the best-known version is the interpretation sung by Arlo Guthrie, no doubt Guthrie's biggest hit. The version printed here was approved by the estate of Steve Goodman. Michael has illustrated this thoroughly American classic with dramatic color scratchboard drawings. Putnam's Sons, June '03 "...a dynamic and nostalgic treatment..." ---Booklist "[McCurdy] grabs the audience's attention right away..." (Publishers Weekly, June 9) "...spectacular illustrations...-" Washington Post (June 22) "...music fans, railroad buffs, and folk-art aficionados will appreciate McCurdy's memorable treatment." May require extra shipping to outside U. S. A. Kirkus Reviews; Color Illustrations; 0.41 x 11.31 x 8.8 Inches; 32 pages. Fine+ in Fine+ dust jacket .
