these three right off the bat. First is "Detroit or Buffalo" by Barbara Keith and she has Leland Sklar on bass, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow on pedal steel, Lowell George on guitar, Craig Doerge on piano and Ron Tutt on drums. Some of the best a studio could ever ask for.

The second would be "Amarillo By Morning" the George Strait cover of the song by Terry Stafford.

The third would be "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)" by Scott McKenzie.

There are some others like "Detroit City" the cover by Bobby Bare

"Houston" by Dean Martin

"The Only Living Boy In New York" by Simon and Garfunkel

"L.A. Woman" by the Doors

"Memphis" by Chuck Berry

"24 Hours from Tulsa" by Gene Pitney

"El Paso" by Marty Robbins

"Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues

"Berlin" by Lou Reed
