Wolf Creek Pass (album)

Untitled

Wolf Creek Pass is an album by country musician C.W. McCall, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music) on MGM Records. It was recorded following the success of a song from the album, "Old Home Filler-up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe", which was used in a popular television commercial that helped kickstart McCall's career. McCall himself was the pseudonym of Bill Fries and was convened by Fries along with Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller fame. The album concentrated predominantly on themes related to trucking, with many of them based on events in Fries' life. The album also contained the eponymous song "Wolf Creek Pass", which helped popularize the pass itself.
