RIP CW McCall 1928-2022

Lived in Wyoming when this album. I have stood in the wagon wheel ruts of the Oregon Trail at South Pass/Atlantic City. 55 yrs later I'm getting Goosebumps thinking about it.

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

This is such a kick-ass song! I'd be perfectly happy listening to it as I die some day. It's horribly underrated.

[@christopherorourke6543]

C.W.McCall sang a lot of great songs. I had the Black Bear Roads album that I left in the Philippines in 1981. My late wife of 31 years enjoyed the entire album.

[@iistoocool4u]

I have this album and listen to it all the time. Favorite song

Me to brother me to

[@billkimcarlson]

Can't find this album anywhere! Had it on vinyl in the 70's. Chip Davis and Bill made some truly memorable music.

[@user-hf8hm4bv3y]

Found it when I lived in Sweden. Vinyl is the best!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I feel lucky now! I found a really nice vinyl copy at the thrift store I work at. Got it for 25 cents!

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

Guess I just need to get a record player now.

[@mikeporter3280]

I still got mine. Play it at least once a year...

[@michaelsloan9024]

Just bought it for 3 bucks

[@alansand7116]

Original Albums are best, but they never released them in CD. Only best of n greatest hits. They are good n I'm glad to have them but they are nothing as good as the originals... Thank you Bill Fries. R.I.P.

THIS IS THE BEST SONG OF CW....i requested this when you tube come on,now youve done it.....great...??!

[@josephgreeley5569]

Haven't heard this since I was a kid. In the 1850's my mom's ancestors took a ship down to Panama, crossed the isthmus by rail and took a steamer up the coast to Portland Oregon rather than take the Trail. I myself can cross the Oregon Trail with the minimum of supplies-in a video game . . .

[@maxwellwoodhouse2908]

Your moms people were smart lol

[@LastKnightsDream]

thanks for puttin this up mad, not heard it since i was a child, my pearents have it on lp, what great track very rare nowdays, hope tracks like these are never lost.

[@darthmusturd9526]

that adventure is still in your genes. go outside, read a book, grill a steak on a campfire. shoot a rifle. go camping. cross the western plain on fiot with nothing but your faithful carbine and your wit, skin a deer.

[@timothydavis5261]

He had many wonderful songs, but this is by far my favorite.

[@danielevensen1969]

This song always reminds me of the movie "Seven Alone" which tells the story of the Sager children who had to make it on the Oregon trail after both of theor parents died on the journey

[@martykitson3442]

[@moominpic]

[@paramedic501]

I have this on record, along with all his great songs.

[@SpiketheDesertDog]

There was a National Geographic article about the Oregon Trail years ago. Truly hellish.

[@alansand7116]

I read that article/Do u remember what a leaverite is..? Dont pick it up...that there is a leaverite...leave it rite there....😀

[@alby4658]

Bellissimo ! Amo questo brano ! Saluti da Roma :)

[@doniabreu6766]

I live in Scottsbluff NE...this is so cool!

[@martincox9691]

I did the Oregon Trail in Nebraska about 20 years ago. I think I lost a quart of blood to the mosquitoes at Lake Minitare…..

[@doniabreu6766]

@martincox9691 one of the few landlocked lighthouses is on Lake Minatare

[@preschoolguy2010]
