[@guitarwonder7016]

I watched your Nose on the Grindstone video loved it....There were two songs from that session....the other is White House Road.....please do one on that song....kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYCse5iZqNOUjck

This is not what I expected him to look like lol

Colter: "Well..." Everyone: *STOPS WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND LISTENS*

[@ryankeyte2684]

I’ve heard this song a thousand times. I STILL pause for a moment 🤔..

[@storm3380]

his storytelling is more graphic than Stephen King

[@CrestDriven]

this is exactly what happens!!! when i show him to other people. its funny to watch their reaction! lolol

[@somechannel7083]

That voice man sounds like he smoke a pack gargled rocks and washed it all down with some whisky and it’s beautiful 👌

Getting to see someone listen to Colter wall for the first time is always a treat.

[@briano.5746]

It's definitely a first for me , I'm a freakin' fan from the giddy up!

[@nicmasterdude]

Pure joy!

[@richardmann4006]

It’s like watching people listen to Jinjer for the first time. Lol

[@apexalaska]

My dads reaction when I showed him this video was one of shock and amazement. Colter has such an amazing voice.

@@richardmann4006 I remember seeing a video of a voice coach reacting to Jinjer Pisces and it was great!

Colter: "Well..." Guitar teacher: *forgets about the guitar*

[@kimmywhycensored6374]

Exactly. Lol! He just starts holding up fingers to let you know what he would play IF he stopped the song.

[@davidweaver766]

I was lucky enough to see Colter perform in a church. His voice in the church was the greatest instrument I’ve ever seen live.

[@XrpAndy]

Holy shit that’s epic

[@aidanvirtue3126]

Damn that sounds like a dream come true where and when was this? Im sure before he started playing larger venues. I cant wait for him to become more mainstream so i can get tickets that i dont have to drive or fly hours and hours for. Although i kinda hope he doesnt take too many shows bc he is such a beautiful hidden gem

[@danielsmall5078]

Saw him at the Panoka rodeo in Ab great artist

[@Socialmediasuks]

The man is using a 1936 Walter with no rod. Tuned down 2. There’s no way to recreate this sound. Besides the fact that his influences are people we don’t know. He was a city boy that won’t do interviews because he’s working the ranch. Talk about an inspiration for a California boy that doesn’t belong here.

[@EsthersDryBones333]

Good, cause I'ma gonna need this man to go to Heaven!!🎉

[@kswindl]

I'd pay good money to see a compilation of people reacting to Colter's voice for the first time.

You've got to love the fact that the look on his face when Colter starts singing is the same one we all made.

[@chetgray5697]

Hahahahaha yep.

[@tylerdowney9841]

His face when Colter first started singing was all our faces the first time we heard colter. Especially live.

[@ryankeyte2684]

I came here to say the exact same thing!

[@kingofsludge7262]

I just heard him for the first time and yes that is correct

[@kyleshaw36]

Keep in mind he is only 24 years old, 19 when this song was released

[@Pengu561]

I heard him first on pandora years ago, saw the video for the first time about 4 months ago. Was completely floored; I thought he was like 40+ by the voice.

[@88HEATHENWOLF]

to quote my Banjo Player when I showed him this "and so young, the lucky bastard"

[@christianc2951]

holy moly.

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

Almost met him at Pickathon. At an afterparty I heard a girl behind me say "what was your name again?" (in the voice...) "Colter." I whipped around immediately but he was already headed out. Dude wasn't old enough to drink at the time. Also caught Charley Crockett giving him pointers backstage

[@danielmiller5104]

Hes 25 or 26 he's a 94 baby

[@WasteManagem3nt]

Get yourself someone who looks at you the way Michael looks at Colter.

[@BabahsGuhjSikartja]

This song is actually about how Robert Johnson was rumored to have sold his soul to the Devil to play his guitar like he did.

[@eoghan375]

Did you watch the video? He says this at 9.20

[@oliviabarr4489]

That’s exactly what I thought when I first heard it too!!’

[@pamacons]

@@eoghan375 yeah but its funny because hes just guessing and is spot on

[@user-qo4xz8ix9n]

That's actually how I found Colter Wall, through that story.

[@only1wolz]

It's a play on Robert Johnson's tune, with a modern riff, clearly these days "the devil" is a record exec, wanting him to adapt his sound. Just my two cents ... 👛

[@floatingcoffin]

You know how murder ballads used to be a thing? This dude wrote an amazing one in 2017. It's called Kate Mckannon, check that one out His storytelling is incredible and his fingerpicking is just so good.

[@ronhochhalter3491]

Kate McKannon is one of the greatest country songs ever written. Simply amazing!

[@kylebrauman5276]

Couldn't agree more! @Michael, if you're interested in looking at Kate McCannon, this link is from the same recording session at the brewery and it's stellar, think you'd dig it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnTIk6RrobGapdU

[@blownonpurp]

Love that song

[@christyson1774]

Got to agree man it’s a hella jam!!

[@RedneckJessi]

Yesssss!

[@CowpokeCannoneer]

The shock and awe in his face when Colter started singing was priceless. Also you gotta listen to Kate McCannon by Colter. It’s probably one of the greatest modern murder ballads.

Colter is one of the fastest rising stars from Saskatchewan, Canada. He's the son of a recent premier and has been circling our music scene for a decade. Amazing talent.

[@RustyShackleford382]

I might forgive that you sent Justin Bieber now

[@elsvaughn7959]

[@Talon18136]

The fact that he is singing playing the guitar like that and hitting that kick drum all in time is amazing

[@charlesentertainmentcheese1]

I’m gonna be honest with you, that isn’t incredibly hard.

[@DrJjgarland]

Colter Wall is an absolute monster songwriter, and he makes it look and sound so effortless when it absolutely isn't.

[@sadpancakemix]

I know this is older but man oh man Colter’s voice is indescribable. Just watching him sing, it’s like he has to drag it out and I can’t get enough. He’s still underrated as hell. What an amazing artist.

[@SuperSuperdude88]

Ya colter is an amazing artist. I feel no bullshit with him. He ain't no "bro" manufactured country boy band

[@RustyShackleford382]

Hate bro country

[@emilyhart579]

Colter's got some Johnny Cash in his voice. I don't mean he's trying to sound like Cash, he's got his own thing going on. But that deep, dark, mysterious, Ive-seen-some-sh*t quality sounds very Cash to me. Great voice...

[@RedneckJessi]

Agreed! Definite Cash vibe. Guy is like 5ft, 21yrs old, from Saskatchewan sounding like he's singing a song in some John Wayne movie. Amazing live!

[@AnonymousNP]

The look on anyone's face when they here Colter for the first time, priceless. Never expect it.

[@mikelpeak7339]

Quincy Flint I’m with you ! I hardly watch reactions but being a Colter Wall fan this reaction was one of the best I’ve ever seen. I just subbed this guy he is by far the best reactor I’ve ever seen. He is so real. Thanks

[@j.m.verlaat9449]

I normally don’t like them either, but this is great. His genuine enjoyment and his little dissections of the music to help you understand it, amazing

[@hankgunn83]

I like his reaction videos because, unlike most everyone else who does them, he isn't way up his own ass about his opinion. He just enjoys the music and makes it fun to watch him figure it out.

[@GearsNCarpentry]

I was so ignorant to country music before I found this young man, boy did he change my mind! I can't believe the heart and soul expressed in his music, changed my mind for good.

[@davidlankford6432]

Love how as soon as colt starts singing he just says f the guitar and focuses on him. Perfect voice

[@altoear6523]

I love the look on his face when Colter says “well”

[@letzrok1016]

Colter has written some good stuff. He has a Robert Johnson/Johnny Cash thing going on. Sings deep and writes old school ballads.

[@colinodaniel1684]

Love Colter. I heard his voice before seeing a video of him singing and it did not match at all when I finally did. Was amazed. Check out “Late July” by Shakey Graves. Great guitar work, and he has a kickdrum suitcase and tambourine playing with his feet.

Shakey Graves, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, all my favorite modern country/rock guys.

[@UGWilson]

To cheat code it, a lot of his tunes are in open tuning, but his song The Perfect Parts is in standard.

[@OnyxRose6]

Saw him live a few years ago with my kiddos. They (he preformed with a group at our concert) sent out security after to come get us and brought all of us backstage to meet them, talked with the kids & took photos, signed some merch and even gifted them some merch too. He & all of them that night were beyond kind and amazing! It meant the world to us, Colter Wall and The Dead South *they're from the same area in Canada, who we also met & they even called our kids to lift their spirits when theyve been in the hospital due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome* are both amazing musicians and amazing people!

[@CarpenterHunts]

The best part about your channel is the remarkable contrast between a real reaction and assessment of the artist’s performance and the hack reaction channels out there. You’re the real deal, Mike.

[@BL-uh8mj]

Colter Wall is the artist that I blindly play for friends and family, to get them to guess what he looks like before they even see him. The responses are ALWAYS interesting. You should all try it too....such an amazing / old school, storytelling sound.

[@justenoughman2393]

FYI, Colters dad was the premier (like a governor) of the Saskatchewan province in Canada.

[@justinmebes476]

[@pilestyle00]

Colter plays alot of his songs with his guitar tuned a full step down with a capo on the second fret.(might not be in this song) this essentially is standard tuning. why does he do this?? my guess it that it allows standard tuning but allows it buzz and slap a little. Also, i know hes not a very big guy, ive seen him live, i think it allows him to play easier with smaller hands. just my guess

[@jakeruiz7421]

Full step down would be capo four. Which is what this song is. Kate Mccanon is half step down capo’ed 2nd fret for standard tuning. And yes...the loose tension allows the rattle and buzz giving it the old school vibe.
