Colter Wall - "Kate McCannon" (Rock Artist Reaction)

[@jacoley]

His tone and pitch and the way he can tell a story remind me of the late great Johnny Cash.

[@hraefn1821]

ABSOLUTELY 100% You get it. This rare light has been shared by few others. Johnny Cash among them. Beautiful beyond compare. Colter White gives me HOPE for country / western music.

[@johndeere8594]

He sounds like a drunk Johnny Cash.

[@prestonmcdowell1351]

Absolutely sounds like Johnny cashes song hurt and gods gonna cut you down

[@YESWECANPEACE]

That is the first thing I thought the very first time I heard him!

[@greeno6109]

everytime i hear "and i put thee rounds into Kate Mcannon" I fully ascend to another plain

[@ericanderson4359]

The one thing that is often missed is the 3 progressive base drum kicks shortly after the lyric "I put 3 rounds into Kate McCannon" ... That is subtle genius arrangement right there ... Voice, Guitar, Kick Drum - There are complete bands that do not sound as full as Colter Wall ... If you get the chance to see him live he has an incredible band and real stage presence ...

[@rexcatastrophe]

Another dynamic in this song that never seems to get mentioned is how when he spots Kate in the creek with another lover, the guitar mimics his sharply rising anger -- from calm fingerstyle picking to furious, slamming the chords so hard they buzz on the frets in a matter of seconfs

[@maxvischer5767]

⁠@@rexcatastropheI was thinking the same, almost like a short period of shock that quickly rises into one big crescendo of anger

[@flyingjackcarpentry9394]

​@@rexcatastrophethe way he times every verse is like this... this really is a genius song

[@unicornrydr33]

At least we can all say we’re turning you onto the best country around!! 🔥 ❤

[@elisather8029]

Cowpoke by him has to be next. It’ll show you a different voice from him. He’s fine tuned his deep voice a lot since these old recordings!

[@bennielsen1524]

Great song. Evangelina really good too.

[@corbind.9395]

Nah, a better song but same sound as cowpoke would be Big Iron

[@Dodge_Dude]

@@corbind.9395 but thats not written by colter wall

[@corbind.9395]

@@Dodge_Dude didn't know that was a stipulation... I was just talking sound. Who wrote what wasn't mentioned in the comment.

[@thatshortkid1277]

⁠@@Dodge_Dudeneither was cowpoke lol it was written in 1951 by Elton Britt

[@mariahclark26]

That last part of the song really makes you feel the quiet heartbreak turning into an all consuming rage when he finds them & I felt betrayed too the first time I heard this song.

[@colekuhn3776]

Sleeping on blacktop is another from this recording session. I love the whole recording there

[@deltafox1719]

I believe he's 19 in this video, he's got an amazing voice. He's one of my favorites

[@Jaypllays]

18 I was about to comment this

[@elizabethgrant9385]

Holey shit 🤯

[@lukakockar]

He was 22 in that video

[@bcmoore1995]

22. He was born June 1995. I know this because I’m May 1995. I love following people born same year as me. This was released in late 2017 and I was 22 so.

[@bcmoore1995]

And on top of that. I don’t think a brewery would be promoting someone underage. 😂

[@aaronwood4143]

It’s almost like a confession slamming the table someone is interrogating him it kinda gives that vibe

[@IrishGunNut1996]

This type of song is a "Traditional" Country song style known as a Murder Ballad. Colter gets his inspiration from a lot of older lesser known country artists and during this period of his career he used this deeper voice in conjunction with traditional sounds to make some killer songs. If you look into his newer releases its the same style but has stopped using this deeper octave because it was damaging his throat. He's got more of a Marty Robbins tone to him now, but its still amazing to see this type of music being made anew.

[@charlesbrown4483]

Lyrically his original songs remind me so much of Marty Robins, there’s clearly a big influence there. Which is awesome, Marty was one of America’s greatest songwriters and Colter is the new generation of a similar style of songwriting. Edit: one could also mention the great Townes Van Zandt, I’d wager anything that Colter takes a lot of inspiration from both of those great songwriters.

[@SL-fy7dh]

@@charlesbrown4483instant like when someone mentions Townes Van Zandt

[@ryanjensen7210]

You're correct in that it's a murder ballad, but the song form predates "Country" music by quite a bit--it's more of a Scottish Folk style that ended up informing Blues, Bluegrass, and Appalachian Folk that all eventually wended their way back together to inform Country. I adore the genre. Some suggested listening for others who like this: Dock Boggs, Pretty Polly; Fairport Convention, Matty Groves; R.L. Burnside, Stack O'Lee and Billy Lyons; Johnny Cash, Delia's Gone; Nick Cave, Murder Ballads (album).

[@jennxnationWv]

I'm a huge Colter Wall fan, his live shows are amazing and his vocals are haunting. 🤘

[@bill.floros]

Best song reaction I've ever seen and I've seen plenty of those trust me man.

[@nickd7523]

Love the reactions feathered Indians from Tyler Childers is one of my favorites from the genre and I know you would love the lyrics.

[@keithmorgan742]

Love your reaction! It's plain to see that you truly love finding cool new songs.

[@Ky-pr4fj]

The lyrics to this song are so dark and beautiful and badass all at once🖤

[@kristidavi]

I've listened to him over and over.

[@ConradKoch-zk2qf]

He has a ballad called "bald butte" it's a whole movie in a 3 minute song. The writing is so descriptive it's like reading a book

[@BigSteve34]

Yea amazing song a as well

[@rogertorgersen9995]

You talked through one of the best parts of that performance. Toward the end he hits the kick drum 3 times almost to punctuate putting 3 rounds into Kate.

[@jasonmatkovich6342]

That, my friend, is a murder ballad.

[@3112dave3112]

Brother you’ve been killing it with your reactions. You’d love Cody Jinks and Old Crow Medicine Show and Turnpike Troubadours. You are awesome bro.

[@aidanngarrettt]

loving all these country reactions

[@cathleencaratan3373]

It is intense each and every time I hear it.

[@BlackDowry]

Sleeping on the blacktop is a complete jam.

[@WC626Droopy]

Right in this song that drumb hits different 👌🏽

[@WC626Droopy]

Forreal that build up before he said I put 3 rounds into kate McCannon an then comes in with the instrumental

[@Damocamo77]

The arrangement is beautiful. The memories in the lines fit with the lighter notes. Brilliant.

[@zer0306]

Emotions of the story through his pickin, colter f***** wall baby

[@KJAY2THOUSAND]

Should most definitely do “down the river” by chris knight. Dark and raw vengeance story, absolutely love it.

[@kylezart]

Thank you for winding back after each pause. Means a lot to the viewer.

[@frosty65233]

You were right, i have in fact clicked on your face multiple times, so i will subscribe.

[@FischtankProductions]

[@vincentmyrick6803]

THATS the reaction I was looking for from you.

[@dawsoncastilaw]

Really loving and looking forward to your country reactions every day cmon keep em comin

[@lailahbobby-hc8vp]

This is my favorite song by colter wall could listen to it on repeat for hours his voice is so soothing and the way he tells a story is amazing

[@alexyanakakis4782]

I think the reason why I and everyone else that watches your videos is cause your acting almost like a proud father especially when it’s new guys, you build them up not tear them down🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Richie07G]

I normally laugh at these "reaction videos" but the love and passion you share for great music and artists radiates and I love listening to these new artists along with you @Fischtank Productions!

[@stevenspinning8667]

Goosebumps.

[@chadgilmore2842]

SLEEPING ON THE BLACKTOP! that song is how I was introduced to Colter and its still my favorite

[@rhondahammons35]

Love watching & listening to your reactions! 😂 I was right there with you hanging on to his every word.

[@Shaystoffregen]

I’ve watched plenty of reaction channels and you are by far my favorite channel.

[@FischtankProductions]

Thank you so much…i appreciate that big time.

[@isaacdeaton1368]

This is my new favorite youtuber

[@dannyadams4098]

[@stacy4823]

I distinctly remember you saying something about not really liking country music. Well, in fishing terms I would say "fisch on, hook line and sinker". I love the way you appreciate the lyrics.

[@michaeldelaney7495]

After watching a lot of your folk country reactions (Zach Bryan, Tyler C, Colter) Finally got that sub in! Love the vids man!

[@CaraBunez]

Damn, that voice!

[@jessewells3731]

So glad you love colter wall

Love me some Colter Wall. Check out Saskatchewan in 1881 and Cowpoke by him also.

[@JohnSmith-mo9nj]

Coulter rules!! He murdered that whole playlist..

[@craigstafford15]

Another awesome review that was fun to see you totally caught off guard by the songwriting. I appreciate your genuine emotional responses to these guys pouring out their souls. Will you check out “Pleasure in the Pain” acoustic version by Dylan Wheeler? It’s a ride.

[@CaraBunez]

Man, that was fun. I met Hank Jr. back in the day.

[@kennethbrasher8964]

Dude, I just came across your channel. Great content!

[@todhollandsworth4371]

Zac Bryan got a few video with him playing a acoustic guitar and bass drum that drum does gets your attention

[@dunlapoutdoors2.076]

Wish it would’ve been the video version! But dude, I’ve been hooked since finding your reaction to wait in the truck, I’ve watched HUNDREDS of reaction videos to songs… but man, after finding you you’re the only one I watch now 😅 …. You break it down like no other, no extra stuff and great breakdowns with your background. Love it brother! Subscribed for life!

[@FischtankProductions]

Thank you so much dude. Comments like these keep me going for real.

[@prestonpetty6288]

I Recently found you by your recent reaction of colter wall and ever since then I have been hooked on your videos. Keep up your great work man we all love what you are doing.Next you should listen to Sleeping on the Black Top by Colter Wall, it is another very good song.

[@KJAY2THOUSAND]

Johnny Boy’s Bones is a great one, although he’s Canadian he tells stories about America as well as Canada. Rocky Mountain Rangers is Slept on alot too, I love the “live in front of nobody” performance of it. Caroline is a sweet one featuring Belle Plaine. I honestly don’t recommend an artist this well but Colter wall is something different that you’ll probably never see again in our life time. Another few artists Who I personally enjoy that would be good reactions are Charley Crockett Benjamin Todd Zack Bryan Ryan Bingham Sam Shackleton V.N.E Willie Carlisle Chris Knight And to cap it off, C.W McCall

[@KJAY2THOUSAND]

And obviously also more Ryan Upchurch

[@brandonbruman4292]

YES!

[@CdnElJefe]

Love to see a guy from the province I was born in being reacted to by a guy wearing a hoodie from Trollco, my brother in laws company!

[@kristinchaump5130]

If you like the story style songs and lyrics, Parker McCollum writes some absolute POETRY in his older stuff. New Orleans, Memphis rain, hell of a year are all beautifully written and his performance a couple years ago back I think at the CMAs was PHENOMENAL. Would love a react!!!!!!

[@aedanfenley6759]

Seeing him in concert next week so excited.

[@mikeshaffer2950]

We now no of one person, "WHO'S GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES",,,, the four horsemen are looking down from heavens gate.

[@joshsumner9891]

Love Colter

[@FTWNinjaPenguins]

I love the way he uses the guitar riffs to finish out the lines in the beginning, if that makes sense? That and whenbit goes so quiet, and surges back at the murder, the guitar is an active participant

[@brianl376]

Check out that same brewery session. Sleeping on the blacktop. That Kate mccannon and devil wears a suit and tie are my tops 3 colter songs

[@codyrea85]

I know you ask for more Tyler Childers, Feathered Indians and Deadman’s curve are both great. Love your reactions!

[@jrsons1240]

I like how u actually listen to the lyrics

[@ryryk6977]

Best thing to ever come out from Saskatchewan lol

[@SnapBCK2reality]

Great reaction as always man. Check out fraulein by Colter and Tyler Childers it is the chefs kiss of duets. Also check out some Jack White Carolina drama

[@kylebuss2649]

How did you know you popped up on my feed a couple times, watched a few videos now, and just subscribed last video 🤣

[@FischtankProductions]

🤯 I’ve spent a lot of time understanding the KZbin algorithm. Thanks fir the sun bro 🤘😎🤘

[@lepetitoiseau]

Colter covered several Townes Van Zandt songs, you really should listen to Townes,!!!! best storyteller ever and a great picking! Really love your reactions

[@lukegoforth8875]

Man you’re killing it.. I wish I could sub more then once haha

[@trevorr5370]

Loving these! Would be fun to see you react to All I See is You by Shane Smith & the Saints. A group that just downright jams

[@nickygembe1098]

This here! Shane Smith's voice is one of the most interesting voices ever!

[@patrickdewey3193]

Story teller. Reminds me of Stomping Tom. Canadian folk singer

[@pauld4010]

Yes!!!! That was like watching a murder mystery! Fish you turned a song into a movie bro!!! 👍

[@alexanderfruge2359]

The man from Waco by charley Crockett, love to see your reaction

[@aprilmartellmusic]

I come to these reaction videos but rage when they stop right before the best part 😅 Like, you can hear something's coming!

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

When you come back to Colter, you need to check out his performance of Bob Fudge live from the back pasture. He's evolved his style since the original 16 sessions but he's still just as amazing, it's worth a listen. Keep it up my man.

[@SubaruCT2023]

he reminds me so much of Johnny Cash, just a very similar feeling when I listen to him.

[@TheGavin1994]

For a Canadian he has the soul of a cowboy in the old West.

[@MAALLDAY_86]

1. Charley Crockett- Run Horse Run 2. Charles Wesley Godwin - Senica Creek 3. The last Knife Fighter - buddy get my knife 4. Taylor mccall- Red Handed 5. John Craigie- Don’t ask 6. Ian Noe- meth head All these are video worthy Brother! 🤙🏼

[@adamlasorsa2206]

you gotta do Shake The Frost Tyler Childers, you won't be upset.

he's was 19 when he first recorded the studio version, idk his age in the video but he's roughly 26/27 now

[@cbiggful]

The raven and Kate have correlations that are overlooked.

[@vitamind1200]

Colter lives in Canada. Joe Rogan has tried getting him on the jre, but he says he can't bc he's too busy on the farm, lmao!! People would kill their firstborn to be on that show. This dude rocks!
