I've been listening to a lot of this guy recently and fairly astounded by his ability to adapt and tell a story on stage. Most known as a songwriter (penning "City of New Orleans" and "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" to name a few), he made his bread performing constantly...and you can really tell. He sometimes borders on novelty, but don't let that detract...it's his honest humor and midwestern dryness that can take you by surprise. Though the quality varies, his live recordings are all well worth their coin, often with just Steve and his guitar. A tribute disc was also recently released on cd that's worthy of a spin or two.

There's another wonderful Steve Goodman tribute cd released by the family and produced by Chris Brown here - http://www.amazon.com/My-Old-Man-Tribute-Goodman/dp/B000JGCUR6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7927575-2334513?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1189524948&sr=1-1
