Lynn Anderson did really well for herself as a cover singer. I don't know that she wrote any songs (I haven't checked).
Yet tho she was established as a Country star, Anderson just sang whatever she liked. With the help of musician friends, the cover was usually rearranged from the original.
She had a wide crossover following, but still managed to keep her Nashville base secure.
Here she performs Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orlanes, a poetical Folk Rock number -- and hardly a corny Country train song.

These sound like the original lyrics with other versions sounding as though they've been cleaned up. But who knows?

The instrumentalism is impressive. Without intending any disrespect whatsoever, Ellen's vocals on this number have improved greatly wit...
