The Real McCall: An American Storyteller is an album by country musician C. W. McCall, released on American Gramaphone in 1990 (see 1990 in music) and rereleased in 1999 (see 1999 in music). It features revamped digital versions of some of McCall's better known songs, including "Convoy", "Wolf Creek Pass" and "Black Bear Road", rerecorded by the artist for the album. It contains more songs than any other release by the artist, with sixteen tracks in total. It features songs from most of McCall's albums, the exceptions being his later works, C. W. McCall & Co. and Roses for Mama. One new track, "Comin' Back for More", telling the story of the infamous American cannibal Alferd Packer, was recorded for the album and serves as its opener. Songwriting on the album is credited to lyricist Bill Fries (the real name of C. W. McCall) and composer Chip Davis, who together have created nearly all original songs by McCall throughout the history of the character.
