[@jeremyrichardson5877]

[@Bojangles6]

John or Colter?

[@dariusdribbles.3981]

He's just gotten better. He's maturing into that huge voice without having to dig for it.

[@resultofboredomowo950]

I dunno if hes maturing more hes sinking more ciggies but he Is bloody good alright

[@dariusdribbles.3981]

@@resultofboredomowo950 You must be from the UK brother. Much love from the US.

[@dariusdribbles.3981]

@Brett Goym I think the overall tone is lower but it deceives the ear as he is singing more gently and natural now.

[@andrewdaniluks5020]

I wish he would keep it digging for it though.. I want them old blues back he started off on

[@StarDogg27]

He really is perfecting his voice. I think his last 2 albums are unbelievable and they sound incredibly natural.

[@Codyscornerr]

I really appreciate whoever shot this. It genuinely felt like I was there.

[@gregxkountz]

Sturgill has talked about playing this song with John as one of his favorite moments I would love to see colter and Sturgill sit down together and do it

[@jarivesterinen]

Then it would not be Colter.

[@sambassbo93]

Reminds me a lot of Townes Van Zandt. Colter absolutely kills it

[@chrisbarrett8377]

Colter is the spiritual heir of Townes 110% you can see the style of TVZ absolutely permeated throughout Colter's albums .

[@Fives55505]

I wish he’d release a cover. My favorite one yet. Love what you do colter

[@ktbecker89]

That may be the first time I have seen Colter Wall smile. It's a beautiful one to match that voice. Awesome cover

[@realcoachryan]

"How could a love that'd last forever, get left so far behind!" Great cover, great cinematography. Thank you

[@AlexanderAnderson542]

Colter will always be real man. He’s one of the best artists out there. Hope he’s around for a long time.

[@andrewtaylor4554]

Few yrs back I heard your music n told me buds that in times to come u will be looked upon as one of the greats …. My opinion hasn’t changed , cheers

[@sarakimble1865]

First time I heard this song, Nancy Griffith sang it on her album, Other Voices Other Rooms. I learned the words quickly because I loved the song. God, I was juts a kid then. Thanks for the walk down memory lane Colter.

[@bizarrebehavior1974]

Same here! I still listen to that album on a regular basis-- it introduced me to John Prine and Townes Van Zandt and others when I was an ignorant kid who didn't know who those folks were, but I grew to love their music, thanks to Nanci.

[@michellebakerlee]

Same. Except I was not a kid, and just never paid attention to who wrote what & for that, shame on me.

[@EychDee]

Wow, I love that album. I’ve just never met another soul who knew it. I listened to it many years ago on a road trip with my mom and brothers. I can listen now and it takes me right back. Such a fantastic record.

[@LOLBram71]

Love he did ole JP. John Prine was sooo underrated

[@sarafoster7514]

I've been watching this every night for about three night and I think I've become a happier person

[@martinvist]

I just love the 3:51 part so much. Its not the low notes that he is doing there, but the quality of the voice is just amazing.

[@mmrtactical7764]

You caught that too?! Right when I heard it I thought WOW!

[@angelialamon5578]

It's just being simply true about how life is a a chance for real George Jones type County Music to come back..... Love the way your feelings are in it. Thank you

[@insainiac1]

praying for a Colter Wall album of John Prine covers.

[@trip4923]

I love the fact that he gets the words mixed up. This happens to me every other time I attempt a Colter song. Too much poetic genius to remember all at once in any one of his tunes.

[@paulandgail3212]

Definitely put a smile on my face......enjoyed the beer and the clam too..👍🇨🇦😉🍻

[@thecowboypreacher6568]

Artists change and evolve over time naturally. Many miss his old sound but for it was great for what it was. Those old songs will forever be gems but this is great too.

[@shapz9975]

He can probably still sing like that he’s gone back and forth with it on his previous stuff. I think recently it’s been more a style/preference choice. Either way incredible.

[@harles115]

God, this is unbelievable. Just one of them artists where the music just flows out. Sounds so natural

[@dionst.michael5818]

His voice just sucks you in for the ride even when he’s just jamming and funnin around, geez! Monster natural talent! Makes me proud to be Canadian ❤️

[@Snow-vo1yi]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS FOR COLTER TO COVER JOHN PRINE

[@carlosford1226]

So proud of Colter covering John here of late, showing respect. John's been my mainstay 'bout all my life, Colter someone to finish out with. If he ever plays out west here in California, I'll be in line to see him as I was with John. May the circle remain unbroken.

[@Stowneyo]

This is legit the best song ever written. Thanks for doing a tribute to John.

[@manueldumon509]

friends would you be so kind to explain what Clamato is?

[@jimelliot4904]

@@manueldumon509 this is going to sound really weird for the uninitiated but it’s a mixture of tomato juice, clam juice and spices. It comes out tasting like tomato juice with more salt. It’s the key ingredient in the Caesar cocktail which is Canada’s national cocktail. It’s also common practice to mix it with beer as a hangover cure which I assume is what Colter and friends are doing in the video

I REALLY want him to record this song. Just him and the guitar like this. And Cowpoke with just him and the guitar.

[@strings1586]

John Prine is one of the best songwriters around, so sad he never got much public recognition. Well done colter🙏

[@rorycunningham7106]

It’s going to be really interesting to see how he sounds when he’s in his older years. Keep making music Colter, you’re one of the greats

[@CowpokeCannoneer]

Colters voice has changed a lot recently. Its not as low, guttural, and grumbly as it used to be. Still my favorite artist. But I miss that sound he had in 2017-2018.

[@harmondraws]

Hes really refining it though. I feel it's sounding much closer to Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins but still much deeper

[@foreverdm7000]

He's still trying to find his voice and what sticks. I agree with you on some level. I think his newer voice suits songs like this one, but his newer performances of songs like Kate McCannon are missing that deep gravely voice

[@CowpokeCannoneer]

Bob's a nerd the thing about colter is that this voice seems so, restricted now. Like he’s not projecting it like he did. That’s why he was so damn mesmerizing to everyone when he first was getting some recognition. He had this boisterous and haunting voice that echoed. Kate McCannon and the Devil wears a suit in tie are the prime examples of him being something that no one has ever seen before. It’s eerie, dark and low. But sounds beautiful. I’m really down for more of the western style music. But I REALLY don’t want his voice to change. His deep and gravely voice still fits it. Like an old western coal miner/ cowpoke. Still love him. Just want his voice to stay like it did

[@harmondraws]

@@CowpokeCannoneer he couldn't control his voice as well as he can now and it makes a difference to how the song sounds. Even at this point his voice still sounds deeper or just as deep as Johnny cash

[@thetowerfantasymusic]

It's because he sings so much more now than he used to. When you don't talk or sing much, your voice gets deeper. The contrary happens now because he's always playing shows

[@alvkristianhol9106]

Hey Jack. Can you please make more videos of Colter like This? We all need This in our life

[@donaldzackson1765]

I seen colter and john this past summer both great musicians in my life

[@thetowerfantasymusic]

Can't get enough of this version by Colter !

[@TheKiller-yh3pi]

Saw John play 3 different times at the Ryman a few years back, great songwriter, great entertainer too. My brother turned me on to Colter and as a starving artist myself (cause I just can’t bring myself to play today’s so-called “country music” I’m thinking of just giving music up. Cause if ya ain’t at the right place at the right time & don’t know the right people...well that explains why I’m a starving artist haha. I digress, keep it up Colter, ya give me hope that truly good music ain’t dead yet. Still pissed that the goddamned virus killed Prine though, at least I got to see him at the mother church in Nashville a few times. Seems like a lot of singers are dying from covid, compared to actors etc...which is a damn shame. Not that I want anybody to get sick and die with it but just seems like it’s especially hazardous for musicians.

[@wayneblosky6798]

lots of comments about how his singing style has changed- loved his early stuff but this new more country style is great - he has moved to Nashville and I think they have convinced him to move to a style that will make him appeal to more people - still loved his old style with that twangy guitar and kick drum and deep gutteral vocals

[@Chase_AM]

That makes me sad that he moved to Nashville. It taints unique country talent.
