Up on Cripple Creek is one of only two nationally released songs that make mention of Lake Charles, LA (the area where I am from). The only other that I know of is Steve Earle’s Intercontinental Trailways Blues which also mentions the town next door, Sulphur, LA (where I was born).
There may be other songs, but I don’t know about them—which, honestly, probably isn’t saying much.
It’s a great song.Are you near where the storm is coming in.
