About Goodman Steve

Steve Goodman was an American folk singer-songwriter from Chicago who became a master storyteller through witty, observational songs that captured everyday American life with humor and heart. His most enduring composition "City of New Orleans," immortalized by Arlo Guthrie's cover version, became a folk standard celebrating America's railroad heritage, while his satirical "Lincoln Park Pirates" skewered Chicago's notorious towing company with biting local humor. Songs like "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" (co-written with John Prine) showcased his ability to parody country music while simultaneously celebrating it, demonstrating the clever wordplay that made him a songwriter's songwriter. Though his career was cut short by leukemia in 1984, Goodman's influence on folk and country music endures through his perfectly crafted songs that balanced comedy with genuine emotion.
