C.W. McCall - Greatest Hits
C.W. McCall - Greatest Hits The linkage between consumerism and popular music finds a strange analogue in William Fries, a.k.a. C.W. McCall. Trained in graphic design and advertising, Fries invented his trucker persona while working on a bakery ad campaign and helped drive the trucker craze of the ’70s with a slew of novelty tunes, few of which have aged very well. McCall described his delivery as a “walkin’, talkin’ singin’ style,” though emphasis always falls on his deadpan spoken wit. McCall never took himself seriously, and tunes like “Crispy Critters” and “‘Round the World with the Rubber Duck” will inspire a laugh at just how weird the ’70s could be. –Roy Kasten
Customer Review: What a great find!
Back in high school, yes too many years to be counting!!! This was one that we enjoyed listening to. Lots of fun.
I’ve now introduced my teenage boys to these fun musical stories, and they are played over and over and OVER!!!
Nice to have a family CD in the car that everyone enjoys!!! Fun entertainment for the kids and adults alike.
Looking for the rest of the songs to be released as well!!!
