"From the Roundhouse at Ridgway to the Depot in Durango on board the Rio Grande Southern RR's Gallopin Goose rail car number 5, to driving a load of chickens on a flatbed out of Wiggins over Wolf Creek Pass to 4x4ing over Black Bear Road to running in a Convoy or Rafting on the Green River this album has it all but it is somewhat lacking in song selection such as where's the better knowin train song "The Silverton"? and two of the best trucking songs I know "Night Rider" and "I've Trucked All Over this Land"? and don't forget old 30 and Riverside Slide which is based on a true story. If CW put those songs on this or a new CD it would be in my book Excellent"

"C.W. McCall lived a hard-knock life and has been largely under appreciated as a singer. His songs, however, paint lively and glorious pictures of a life many of us love to imagine. The classic Convoy is probably his best known work. Wolf Creek Pass is another wonderful classic evoking images of the trucker life and the funny things that can sometimes happen. My favorite McCall song is Green River. I can almost see the mists of the early morning...men in plaid flannel blowing on their hands and sipping steaming cups of coffee. The canyon walls echo with their whispered talk as the river roars it's challenge. No McCall song sets my mind into over-drive like this one. If you only buy one C.W. McCall album, make sure it includes Green River."
