    L A Woman - The Doors
    I'm Going To Jackson - Johnny Cash & June Carter
    Detroit Rock City - Kiss
    Katmandu - Bod Seger
    Queen of Memphis - Confederate Railroad
    Cleveland Rocks - Ian Hunter
    Walking To New Orleans - Fats Domino
    Streets of Bakersfield - Dwight Yoakum
    Living On Tulsa Time - Clapton
    Oh Atlanta - Little Feat
    Last Train To Clarksville - Monkees

    Without cheating this is what I get off the top of my head. I know Mama's Pride does a song with St. Louis but not sure the exact title and Diesel does something like South Saledo Shuffle.

    Oh, I missed this. Sorry, FP. Isaac Hayes does a version of By the Time I Get to Phoenix on his album Hot Buttered Soul. After the first or second listen, I skip over the spoken intro, but the song-proper is a big, lush, and lengthy arrangement. I've kind of moved toward longer songs with big arrangements. Hayes's Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses are packed with such. I just hope this path doesn't lead to prog.

    Glen Campbell did a version, too.
