5390. C.W. McCall - Black Bear Road
 |
| From: Black Bear Road; Year: 1975; Genre: Country |
I just discovered that C.W. McCall had passed away back on the 1st of April at the young age of 93 from cancer apparently. Back when I was really young my Dad had, I believe, his first three or four albums on vinyl; it been quite a while since I've seen them, so my memory is a tad bit fuzzy. Anyway, as with many young children growing up I was infatuated with trucks, cars, etc... and since a goodly portion of C.W. McCall's music had to do with such I listened to a lot of his music early on, so it's kind of a melancholy day for me. Black Bear Road was one of his signature "country raps" I guess you could say, way before the term existed; I've always been amazed at this song being about 2 minutes in length and yet tells an entire relatable story to anyone who has traversed such a "goat trail" of a road.
