C.W. McCall is a pseudonym for William Dale Fries Jr., an American singer, activist, and politician known for his unique style of country and truck-driving music. His most significant contribution to music history is the 1975 hit "Convoy," which capitalized on the citizens band (CB) radio fad and became a number-one song on both the pop and country charts. McCall's music is characterized by storytelling, often featuring spoken-word verses interspersed with sung choruses, and focusing on rural and truck-driving themes. Despite a relatively short music career, McCall's distinctive style and influence on the truck-driving country genre are notable.
