Music City U.S.A. with T. Tommy Cutrer and C.W. McCall
T. Tommy Cutrer was a well-known Nashville radio personality and the host of a syndicated radio show, Music City, U.S.A.
During the week of 1975 November 17, T. Tommy’s co-host was C.W. McCall. C.W. was promoting his second album, Black Bear Road. Through the course of that week’s five shows, T. Tommy interviewed C.W. on a variety of topics; C.W. told stories behind many of the songs on Black Bear Road, how C.W. became a reluctant country music star, and just what the “C.W.” stood for.
T. Tommy had two other guests that week: a 17-year-old singer, Jackie Blackman, and Zoot Fenster, the man behind “The Man On Page 602”. T. Tommy didn’t play just the songs of C.W. McCall, though: he included works by other country singers of the day. Those songs included

The audio files of this week of Music City, U.S.A. have been digitized from a set of transcription discs of the radio show, and post-processed to reduce surface noise (but the process isn’t perfect, so expect to hear some clicks and pops).
The package includes five CDs: 4 audio CDs of the shows (for your CD player) and a fifth CD (for your computer) containing MP3 versions of the selections on the other four discs.
All of the discs are CD-R, with the disc name lovingly handwritten on the top of the disc, and each disc a clear “slim” CD case with an insert which lists the contents of the CD. (This is an amateur operation; what did you expect? Jewel cases and machine-printed labels?)
And, as a special bonus, an actual printed index to the contents of the discs! Plus, if you act in the next millennium, you’ll get a free copy of How To C.B., an instructional album of dos and don’ts on CB radio usage, narrated by Leif Jensen.
On How To C.B., you’ll learn
- Types of CB Radios
- Rules of the Road
- The “10” Codes
- CB Handles and the Trucker Language
- Ratchetjaw Practice Exercises
- Testing Your CB Transmission
- Requesting Assistance

- Safety on The Road
- More CB Terms
