A hefty chunk of this record is taken up by the epic \"Alice's Restaurant,\" which clocks in at 18-and-a-half minutes. Yet--while it's a definitive element of late 1960s counterculture--it's not his best song, either as writer or as performer. For the latter, his version of Steve Goodman's classic \"City of New Orleans\" remains the pinnacle of his career; among his own songs, it's hard to surpass the somewhat lesser-known but equally beautiful \"Darkest Hour.\" Other highlights here include the rockin' \"Comin' into Los Angeles\" and the comedic \"Motorcycle Song.\" --Peter Blackstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe '60s recordings by Woody's son introduced his wry humor to the world, and his '70s songs saw him grow into a redoubtable writer in his own right. This 1977 collection boasts the best of both: his 18-minute Alice's Restaurant Massacree ; his 1972 hit City of New Orleans; Last Train; Cooper's Lament; Last to Leave; Darkest Hour, and more!, ISBN13: B000002KI3 ISBN10: B000002KI3 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109338927267,"sku":"FA_04-16-2025_MGM_200007TE","price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71g4I4-GZTL.jpg?v=1754570187","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/the-best-of-arlo-guthrie","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
