An Empty Room with Colter Wall - "Sleeping On The Blacktop"

[@SKarlsson]

Colter will go places. He's got a one in a million voice.

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

He's got a gift no doubt but he doesn't sing empty songs that fit the Nashville agenda of fake country. We'd all love to see him go places but he's too honest in his song writing to fake it. Although I would love to see the Colter Walls and Sturgill Simpsons of the world walk all over the Luke Bryan's and Keith Urbans. Show em what real country music was, is, and should always be.

[@janinesnyder8250]

He’s already famous!

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

@@janinesnyder8250 ask 10ppl and 9 will have no idea who he is. That's not exactly famous.

[@thunderhorse6666]

So you like being right or what?!?

[@foxhollerhomestead]

Johnny Cash…

[@chrispetty5123]

Just heard the song yesterday and loved it. Probably listened to it at least 100 times in the last 24hrs. Crazy how you can miss something so great but I am grateful that this song crossed my path, thanks Colter awesome voice.

[@fergalquinn3982]

Great to see that one guy and his guitar can still write some kickass music

[@JJ-xo3er]

This song is so badass man, reminds me of good ol Waylon man.

[@aitf99]

INCREDIBLE !! Colter will never top his early stuff. Especially the brewery sessions...

[@heathen637]

Odd comment

[@heathen637]

You know singing isn't his only thing, he works a ranch he's a real cowboy...in Canada

[@aitf99]

​@@heathen637Is it? Says who? It's the truth

[@aitf99]

​@@heathen637oh in Canada?...yeah I know exactly who he is. I literally live next door.

[@nathanielstephenbaue]

Finally something authentic and gripping in today's day and age.

[@robindelude3787]

My God! I cannot get enough of this guy!

[@elizabethpinkerton9866]

I love the sound of this song and his voice is wonderful. Oh look how young he is!

[@taylorbird5678]

Nothing fake when it comes to his music. Just straight forward, honest and pure. Amazing. Brock Sent me here as well.

[@allenbinion1575]

This kids the real deal..In the likes of Waylon, Hank, and Johnny..You two shameful dislikers should stay anonymous. Luke Bryan isnt good..I promise ya.

[@robertrishel3685]

100%! Remarkable talent! Check out the Red Clay Strays, their lead singer, Brandon Coleman is another absolute real deal guy👍

[@rockman4699]

What a talent. Loved the guitar, loved the lyrics and what a voice. Best of luck Colter Hall! And black and white video rocks

[@mmmk1616]

Oh lord, every time I watch one of his videos I just love him more and more!

[@joshuasmail1489]

This dude is a living legend. He may even be up there with Johnny Cash!

[@MeganNashMusic]

So good.

[@danschechter9069]

Wow. He writes and sings like he has lived a long time and gone through some rough patches. So much depth and pain. Imagine if Johnny Cash and John Prine had a younger brother. Thanks for posting this great video.

[@terryallen9546]

Really fine photography.

[@gordonmckay914]

Colter will go down as one of the greats

[@snmthecloser]

This is definitely not that one time I like the 15 second ad more than the video. Colter is just a goddamn gift. What a talent.

[@jakekoester]

stumbled across this awesomeness on FB

[@leighbrown5652]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched Stone Cold Podcast on Monday. As soon as Brock Lesnar mentioned Colter's name I searched KZbin for vids. And he was right what a talent this guy is.

[@fromthedoor22]

I feel like he could do a very good cover of God's Gonna Cut You Down. either way very talented

[@Youre_Right]

He could do any Johnny Cash cover song well. He has an awesome baritone voice like the Man in Black.

[@fromthedoor22]

+David L very true

[@johnnappa]

@M. S. now hold on there, sonny. Colter Wall has amazing originals but don't go speaking bad against The Man in Black. Both are amazing, both possibly perfect.

[@johnfinch3790]

He sounds so similar to johnny when I first heard him sing I was like I never heard this song from johnny before

[@fromthedoor22]

@@johnfinch3790 haha yes so true!

[@davidmoore9129]

legend in the making......this guy has the touch.

[@carmenv425]

the way he says "binnes man"... love it

[@cwilson0713]

what a captivating voice

[@ALLEYOOP77]

What a future this young man has, sounds so much like a young John Cash when he recorded at Sun Records, love to see him come to the states and record some early J. Cash at Sun in Memphis.

[@colleenblackwater4792]

Whoever does his staging has the talent. Just wonderful.

[@aprilfast1141]

Just heard of Colter on CBC radio, very cool voice. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his music.

[@ChristianDread76]

Brock brought me here also... Real music for real times. Keep singing the truth.

[@billwhite9703]

Brilliant song, performance and lyrics.

[@poolsharklady77]

Oh my God I've been listening to him for almost 2 years now and he has so much cool and badass before he even finishes next verse ..really such an amazing talent and sexy as hell ...

[@j.dtruths5577]

Something very special about this Young Fella, really hope he makes it.. J...

[@kirablazko665]

There's something really touching in this song. Love it.

[@maxtofone]

Really great song man!

[@carolfulton]

Love this song. Great voice

THANK YOU BROCK LESNAR!!! Great artist

[@patmunroe4088]

Looks of Alan Jackson, voice like Cash one of a kind! Hopin to see ya on the road soon..

[@BobbyFireRadio]

[@Aubart]

His shadow on the wall is legendary.

[@JudithMorrissey]

Awesome! :)

[@tobiasoellers146]

Sensationell. Love it

[@koreystlouis6418]

Truly inspiring. What a voice. Go get some kid

[@jbieb8136]

Brock sent me too... Stone Cold Podcast. Thanks Brock - great artist!

[@maxwellgroh3210]

Who remembers six years ago

[@dubtownman9508]

He's like a preacher waiting for his congregation to burst through the doors...he's spittin some serious religion

[@scott1lori282]

Good stuff. He plays it up high on the chest like HANK dId.

[@hibeesince82]

Cheers Brock!

[@mamamize7327]

The Breweries calls his style haunting. There is a better word to define him. This song reaches into my hillbilly soul. I can see my Great-Grampa singing and his brother playing his fiddle.

[@mechmnrgy]

Yep! My Sasky boy! This how to rock! Country style!

[@teej783]

Take it easy, folks, the dislikes are from out of work drummers.

[@kennethrogers8319]

What's crazy is that Colter was less than a month shy of 20 years old when he did this. Sounds like he's been smokin' 3 packs a day & drinking whiskey for 50 years. Guy's just an original.

[@floppyd0g]

Steve Earle sent me here. Colter Wall sent me to Tyler Childers.

[@davidhudson4542]

I’m here by way of Tyler Childers, loving this resurgence of real... good music.

[@gypsytricia]

Reignwolf to Colter Wall to Tyler Childers...lol

[@roneevans3681]

Not a bad path to follow.

[@prestonberg9604]

Cody effin jinks

[@colleenblackwater4792]

Not a fan of Childers. Am of Steve Earle n definitely C.Wall. Add Vincent Neil Emerson!

[@kriskabin]

This was good, but check out other versions of it on YT where he plays both his guitar & that bass drum. POWERFULLY GREAT! What a talent he is. An old crusty, hard-worn soul who's been reincarnated into a young man's body.

[@isaackreutzer9478]

This rules. Your voice reminds me of Johnny cash and Elvis costellos combined

[@harveyharmon6643]

he can carry the show by himself.....his backup ain't helping him none. he just had a concert in Atlanta....I missed it, but hopefully he'll come through Charlotte NC next time

[@GeraldSongWriterSinger]

Colter needs to do some Cash covers!!

[@Meliovcah]

Lyrics: Sunshine beating on the good times Moonlight raising from the grave String band playing worn out honky-tonks Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain High heel lady spitting at the nickajack Business man with a needle and a spoon Coyote chewing on a cigarette Pack o' young boys going howlin' at the moon Hey darlin'! Sleeping on the blacktop Hey darlin'! Running through the trees honey Hey darlin'! Leaving for the next town Less'n my sense catches up with me Three dead in a crash on the number four Two witnesses below and up high Not sure whose will be done You can call me a sinner for wondering why Hey darlin'! Sleeping on the blacktop Hey darlin'! Running through the trees honey Hey darlin'! Leaving for the next town Less'n my sense catches up with me Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town Could it be it's the same as the last? I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass Hey darlin'! Sleeping on the blacktop Hey darlin'! Running through the trees honey Hey darlin'! Leaving for the next town Less'n my sense catches up with me Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Colter Wall Sleeping on the Blacktop lyrics © Concord Music Publishing LLC

[@allanbond3673]

anyone listen to this while listenin to the podcast? kinda suit's them talkin

[@blazerfan2328]

What type of country music is this considered? Cause I love country music like this but hate all that new modern country shit. Looking to find some similar music.

[@jessespencer7333]

Ryan Queener Folk Country or Country Blues Or maybe even Outlaw Country If you like this check out Townes Van Zandt, Cody Jinks and Whitey Morgan

[@joshbarela7669]

Ryan Queener Tyler Childers has some good stuff, too. You should check out his song "Coal"

[@Chihusky177]

Colter. Your as smooth as the finest whiskey. As warm as the hottest sun and as fine as Kate mcannnon.

An odd setting, for sure. If I were to stage an artist alone doing a tune, it'd be on a broke-down couch in a broke-down trailer, in a broke-down town somewhere nowhere
