Many thanks to everyone who stopped by to listen and cast a
vote on my latest Battle of the Bands! Just when I thought it couldn’t be done, two
different icons laid claim (and accrued acclaim) for outstanding covers of a
legendary train song; proving it can so
be done.
Contenders Song(s) Votes
John Denver City
of New Orleans

Johnny Cash City of New
Orleans 2
Since the holidays are fast upon us, I won’t fret too much about what happened here ;-) Suffice it to say one John won, and one Johnny didn’t. With that in mind, I present an artist who appeared in my search for songs about trains that might just hold his own – were he to compete against the winner.
Please let me know what you think in the comment section.
I encourage you to stop by and see how the other battles
went (participant links in the upper right sidebar)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I would've still voted for John Denver even if you had used Al Stewart in this showdown. Denver had a landslide win, sorta like Trump, wouldn't you agree? Thanks for letting us know how things went. My results are now up!
ReplyDeleteHa! Why, yes. Yes, I would ;-) On my way to your place -
DeleteWishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving, diedre! ☺ I too would pick John Denver over Al Stewart, but Al's song is still pretty good.
ReplyDeleteSame to you, Debbie! I bet it's looking gorgeous where you are, keep taking those awesome pictures ;-)
DeleteLove the Al Stewart song. Don't recall having heard it before.
ReplyDeleteThe outcome makes sense. John Denver is just easier on the ears I think.

Hi Arlee! I hadn't heard the Al Stewart song before either, but I sure like it. I also like John Denver's style for the battle win ;-)
