If you haven't heard of Colter Wall - WATCH THIS

[@SebsDuran]

My microphone wouldn't shut off this base noise when I would finish talking at times. Sorry, that's annoying.

[@elip7647]

As long as you keep uploading the small differences like that don’t matter all that much keep it up

[@shayleeledevre6401]

Hearing problems a little so I didn't notice. You're all good Sebs!

[@Smasherv15]

If you want to see how his voice has matured, watch his song Cowpoke.

[@ArcoZakus]

@@Smasherv15 , Bein' one himself, he really knows how to sing that song. In fact, Imma' go listen to it again right now. "Colter Wall | "Cowpoke" | Western AF" Songwriter: Stan Wall 2919-09-02 ( 03: 14 ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g57bfKaBbpV_Z5Y ( 0: 13 "Yeah, Saskatchewan. 'Northern Montana.' Funny man.") Where he sings about rodeo another one of my favorite songs starts up in the big jukebox in my head: "Farther Down The Line" -- Lyle Lovett Songwriter: Lyle Lovett 2018-03-01 ( 3: 05 ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3_XqXR6ec6Fnpo Gotta' be one of the best heartbreak songs ever, IMO.

[@pinky2245]

Colter Wall is a very good Canadian country singer/songwriter. He is now 28 years old, and he loves working and living on his farm in Saskatchewan. Good song!

[@CarharttCowboy]

On his ranch in Rush Lake Saskatchewan

[@stevievannailinpalin4583]

Even spends time in Texas working on cattle ranches.

[@collinward9563]

There is something so profound about hearing this guy for the first time. It’ll give you shivers through your bones

[@sheilasisk7550]

Just awesome!! All I can say is

[@chlupl]

The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie.. that was the first Colt song I heard. Amazing song. So.. Canadians can sing country too 😆

[@KathyAnne28]

Kate Mccannon was the first I heard and is an absolute favorite with my two year old ❤

[@ArcoZakus]

" ... So.. Canadians can sing country too 😁" Well, heck yeah. Ian Tyson proved that over fifty years ago. (And many others, since.)

[@chlupl]

@@ArcoZakus Indeed, but that doesn't stop most people from thinking country is just backwoods southern folk.

[@ArcoZakus]

@@KathyAnne28 , I hope your two year old does not understand the lyrics yet. Kinda' grim.

[@ArcoZakus]

@@chlupl , Their loss. It ain't all about cowboys, drinkin', cheatin', and broken hearts, either -- though some of my favorites still are. On the opposite end are songs like "You're Gonna Miss This" (Ashley Gorley, Lee Thomas Miller) and "Then They Do" (Sunny Russ), both sung by Trace Adkins. Such a huge genre. Someting for everyone not put off by stereotypes.

[@farmerchick3040]

I love watching people hear his voice for the first time. I felt the same the first time i heard him sing.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

The first time I heard him, I was blown away. As a fan of Johnny Cash, I was very excited to hear more.

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

My jaw dropped when I first heard that voice come out of that man! Fantastic!

[@MoMan.88]

Colter Wall is awesome, he has refined his singing now and is even better if you listen to his new stuff!!

[@Springfield2016]

He is a real cowboy. He worked a ranch in Canada during lockdown. Great story teller.

[@mm-ou5ux]

So many great songs from him. Sleeping on the Blacktop is another great one. I think he refers to Kate McCannon in other songs/stories as well.

[@bugvswindshield]

Coulter Wall is the Walking, Singing Middle Finger to Autotune. So many good songs. This kid is doing the slow , on purpose, roll up the chain of command. He could rise super fast, but he's a cowboy at heart and if he had a choice would rather slow walk up and do right. He turned down a Joe Rogan interview a couple of years ago because....he was tending cattle and it was winter. He couldn't leave them. His Bunkhouse Sessions were recorded at this time ( youtube has 'em all!)

[@bonnieblake5630]

It was so good that I almost fell out fell off fell off my my chair and almost a new favorite song for me. He loved her. Love ❤️ his voice

[@elip7647]

Colter wall is my favorite artist of the now days I’m so glad you found him

[@sirslice7531]

This is a hard core. Colter fits in with real country (it aint today's corporate pop country). Not bad for a 20 somethin' year old from the prairies of Canada.

[@Luckyduck82180]

Wow. I was NOT expecting that.

[@sokyoutdoors588]

Yeah, that's how most people react when they hear him for the first time.

[@michelesanville8822]

Wow! What a voice. He sounds like he drank whiskey and smoked cigarettes since birth. Definitely checking out more of his catalog

[@sedatedape315]

Never heard of Colton before. I thought of Johnny Cash also! Amazing voice and fantastic lyricist. Long future ahead for this young artist. I'm a total fan 👍

[@sedatedape315]

Or Colter even. Damned autocorrect 😣😣😣

[@ArcoZakus]

@@sedatedape315, Disable autocorrect. Just turn on spell check without it so you can be selective about corrections.

[@sedatedape315]

@@ArcoZakus yeah, thanks Zakus. I'll see what this old tablet has or can get loaded (past time for a new one to be honest). Without some help you good people would see how badly I really spell cause of the 1970's big city public school education system 😀😀😀

[@ArcoZakus]

@@sedatedape315 , All sounds familiar. I was fortunate to get my education in spelling and grammar back when it was still pretty good in the U.S. (Most kids did not enjoy it even back then, but I was one of those weird kids who thought it was fun.) I still appreciate some help detecting spelling errors. I just hate having the stupid software "correct" words that are exactly what I intend. Good luck with that old tablet. I know that situation, too.

[@moldymoose9708]

It seems to me that whenever someone starts diving into country, folk, and bluegrass, they inevitably find their way to Colter Wall. The voice, the presence, the songwriting- it's entrancing; he very obviously feels what he sings, and he's only gotten better as he's matured. There are so many of his songs that impact can impact you in ways you wouldn't expect; Caroline, Bob Fudge, Living on the Sand, and Cowpoke just to name a few. It's always a joy to see another of your videos-thank you for your time and effort in these!

[@ryryk6977]

He’s from Saskatchewan Canada he’s a great singer

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

Very rarely am I literally enthralled by a song and performance. This guy's voice reels you in. I love, love this. I can't wait to tell friends to listen to this.

[@judycole854]

Wow! And how he plays the music almost tells as much about the story as the lyrics do. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this young man. Amazing!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

I've never seen him before but his song/songwriter/drummer amazed me completely. Fabulous guy! 🥰

[@jacklopez1046]

‘The devil wears a suit and tie’ great one of Colter's

[@wiyresmcman9545]

Actually I pretty sure he was 19 when this was recorded

[@jesseobee7677]

19 was when he wrote and recorded his first time, this video was later on 👍🏻

[@roadwary]

Hey Seb, from western Washington here, this is amazing, i will be checking this guy out some more now. About the cowboy hat, many styles to choose from, the one i think is a good neutral one called a hybrid are the Aussie style hat, i recommend Akubra Hats, when shopping for one you will be directed online to the one importer named David Morgan who's brick and mortar shop is just a few miles away in Bothel WA. Akubra fur felt hats are the best bang for the buck in quality, materials, durability and no worries wearing them in the rain as their dyes are not cheap and wont run when wet as inferior brands can, i personally have a collection of them but i have also graduated to custom hats where the fit is perfect as they use a conformateur to get your exact head shape. Welcome to the proper hat world, for any weather and UV protection, i am not a sales person for any hat makers, like you reactions man, cheers, p.s. bro if you like this guy check out Townes Van Zandt.

[@CdnElJefe]

A little background on Colter. He’s from Saskatchewan and his dad was the premier of that province. (Think governor in US terms) He travelled around the US and western Canada working on different cattle ranches to collect stories to write about. He’s turned down Joe Rogans podcast several times saying he was to busy working cattle to come. Joe has even offered to fly him out just to hang out and talk, without going in the podcast.

[@tomseidel2992]

I had never heard of this guy until "Sleeping on the Blacktop " popped up on a blues shuffle I was listening to. I was hooked immediately.

[@vivienneclarke2421]

Ive been listening to Colter Wall for 3 or 4 years now,,but i sure enjoyed watching you experience him for the first time ~!! May I suggest Sleepin On The Blacktop or The Devil Wears A Suit And Tie💛

[@florencegrant-mc7bb]

The first time I watched this video I was immediately captivated. Unique does not come close to describing Colter Wall. He is now one of my favorite performers ever! I’ve watched him sing this about 25 times in the past few weeks, and it never gets old.

[@janiceobernberger8846]

Love the story tellers of country

[@ArcoZakus]

Me, too. You might enjoy one of my new favorites: "Marlboro Man" -- Savanna Chestnut Songwriter: Savanna Chestnut ("Prairie Fire" album) 2019-12-30 ( 4: 19 ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rInTcoSoe6udq5Y

My son has been talking to me about Colter Wall. This will be my first listen as well.

[@Seashelle564]

Ok I'm blown away!!

[@nickicribb4299]

the son of the last Premiere of Saskatchewan, Canada! He sings and writes because he wants to, not out of monetary need.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Love Colter Wall, fan for some years now, dude I worked with would play Colter all the time, I commented once about him finally getting recognition at his age, dude's like "What?" I said "He must be around 60 yo by now, that grisled, pained voice" ..."dude, he's like 22" ...?!

[@christianjondahl7198]

Everyone keeps saying he works on a farm.... Farming and Ranching are 2 different things FYI. He worked on a cattle ranch and now owns one himself.

[@BooRadley13]

A bright future? He’s doing just fine where he’s at, not even trying.

[@Dakotarain]

Colter is a real cowboy. He works the range in Wy or did at one time.

[@CarharttCowboy]

He has a ranch in Rush Lake Saskatchewan

[@amymoreland1121]

I am addicted to this song. I have to play it every day. I played it for my daughter, and she got it as a Christmas gift for her dad and her father in law. Like you said, he's got a great future.

[@Code9]

Since you appreciate the various aspects of Wall, that you mentioned, you'll love the early work of the legendary Hoyt Axton, particularly cuts from his 1963 album, "Thunder 'n' Lightnin'". Just one guy, his guitar and a unique voice that grabs you at the first note (of any song on the album) and holds you captive until the final note. The title track is a case in point. You'll be as impressed by the listening experience as you were when listening to Wall.

[@stevehackenberg]

My reaction was the same when I first heard him. Well done bro! Love your breakdown!

[@Smurphy415]

He is an awesome western singer.

[@Garkimyer]

Colter is a rancher in Saskatchewan, canada and has turned down Joe Rogan multiple times because “its winter up here and if i leave all the cattle will freeze to death”, and then “I’m on a cattle drive, cant make it”. I think his lifestyle contributes to his great writing ability. He wrote the song at 17 and first recorded it at 19. He’s 28 now and his singing versatility is now much wider.

[@WendellBurkhart]

That voice just blew my mind ! Fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@stin9813]

I actually have a mutual friend with Colter. Heard he's a real nice guy!

[@chuckw1610]

My first time finding Colter I thought their may yet be hope for country music.

[@johngraves1955]

You should listen to his rendition of Ian Tyson's "Bob Fudge".

[@The-Crypt]

Hell yes. Everyone always goes to Sleeping on the Blacktop or Kate McCannon but Bob Fudge is the song.

[@PeytonRoach686]

I'm loving watching people getting caught off guard by his voice

[@amymoreland1121]

And the ending.

[@warnertom3393]

Devil wears a suit and tie and Sleeping on the blacktop are great ones to!

[@ElizabethLOhrn]

I love that he plays the drum while playing guitar. A great young country throwback man.

[@efjefe]

Thats a fucking cowboy! Trust me. Not Trashville bullshit. I live in the Rockies

[@donnagammons1154]

DANG!!!!!!!! TOTALLY MIND BLOWING! THAT MUSIC AND THEN THAT VOICE OF HIS!!!! JUST DANG!!!!! HE'S AWESOME!!! ❤

[@sheilasisk7550]

Thanks!

[@Adjust-Fire-jy3dy]

I'm impressed with the young people we have doing this style of old story telling country music. Thank God!

[@m_i_s_t_a_h__j_]

Gotta love a good ol' murder ballad

[@ArcoZakus]

You would probably like "Late July" by Shakey Graves. Also, "Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room" by Dwight Yoakam.

[@NatalieHills]

Sebs, you are #1 of any reaction videos I watch. So much music for you to discover! I love you Ali and your girls & even your pup. I enjoy watching & hearing your”take” on spcountry snow!! ❤️

[@briandyer713]

This man is not only insanely talented he’s almost a living mythical figure has no interest in fame or interviews plays low key shows (and not a lot) they sell out immediately the rest of the year he’s literally a cowboy on Ranches in Texas and in Alberta …

[@billbennett9537]

Saskatchewan, not Alberta, just a little East of Swift Current.

[@Shamacanada]

Sask country and Sask beer!

[@fargomonkey5133]

You definitely need to hear the devil wears a suit and tie and Sleeping in the blacktop! Colter is amazing

[@Catherine_Dubya]

Colter Wall live is amazing. He is my husband’s favorite artist.

[@rhondahammons35]

He sounds so much older and his voice is chilling.

[@dianetartaglia2892]

He is absolutely AMAZING!!!! Absolute gift!!!!❤❤❤

[@ThatJunkman]

Rogan keeps asking him to be be on his podcast but he says he always busy working on his farm. But he would love to do it. Who turns down Rogan :)

[@kimc555]

Ya he doesn’t do interviews. This most recent album is likely his last. He is a rancher, 1st and foremost.

[@Grizzly_6623]

Thank God

[@pwitherspoon100]

He pulled you into his story and I was hoping to hear more but his story ends when he shoots her. Wow! Enjoyed your reaction. 😊

[@bonnieblake5630]

I cant stop listening to the song

[@johnraygun9868]

he has a LOT of great songs, reminds me of a Marty Robbins Johnny Cash mix

[@iveyfernandes8053]

I do believe we discovered a 21st century Johnny Cash. Wow! That was great.

[@kimc555]

Ya Colter ranches full time in Saskatchewan. Doesn’t do interviews.

[@daledubose3032]

I'm glad you went with this song first

[@ThatGirl.865]

Wow! I've heard of Colter Wall, but this is the first time I've heard his music. 🤯😍🤩 I'll definitely look up more of his music! Somewhat reminiscent of Johnny Cash IMHO.

[@CarharttCowboy]

The pride of Swift Current Saskatchewan aka Speedy Creek

[@LynnHPalmertree]

Colter Wall, genius.

[@carolmckay9067]

Hi Sebs, you really should listen to "The Devil Wears a suit and Tie"!!! IMO, It's Better than this one. It's Soooo 👍🏼 Good!!! ❤️❤️

[@badsabre5917]

Colter’s voice reminds me of that old actor that played in a lot of westerns James Gammon but in a 22 year old body. Wild.

[@ltdada]

I bought Colter Wall's 1st EP when it came out, and I was hooked. His authenticity demands attention and respect--all pretense falls a way. So I had heard him before this song was released, but when I heard this... an authentic murder ballad rides in from a 100 years ago, as good as any ever written in the genre--it was stunning, and always will be. EXCELLENT choice.

[@scotty2307]

Must listen to a lot of Johnny Cash. Very Interesting. And you just mentioned Johnny while I was writing this. LOL

[@MarkColeman-s1v]

Thanks for the music those three have given us the past 40-50 years.

His newest stuff is dope. Feel like I'm riding the friggin range, roping cattle and sht.

[@randallwilson]

Johnny Cash Vibe!

[@barrettgranger9139]

Dudes voice is freaking unique

[@KrisHarmon-og1nt]

He’s an actual working Cowboy from Canada. He works on the ranch, plays and performs, and doesn’t seek the spotlight. Love Colter’s voice and ability to tell a story.

[@thetacoturtle]

Creek reference is to rural poor people had to share a place to bath. So a creek was the water source to bath and everyone in the community would share .

[@bigsky7617]

Seeing someone experience Colter for the first time is one of my life's greatest pleasures.

[@wgj4everlong426]

Filter is among the best out now.I've seen him twice live.Both great shows. He does a great version of Hoyt Axton's Evangalina, but pick any and it's great

[@wgj4everlong426]

Colter damn auto correct

[@rh-bd6wv]

This is a very heavy, very beautiful song, but John is also known for the many fun and funny songs he penned.

[@MatthewvMayo]

He definitely has a Johnny Cash feel to his amazing vocals.

[@hockemeyer1]

He seems very much like a modern Johnny Cash.

[@kestrelle5345]

"Oh, what a douche. He's so good." 🤣 Also, "The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" from the same session is well worth a listen.

[@aaronb4936]

Reminds me “story wise” of a song called Thorne tree shade by a band named volume 10

[@elizabethseals2001]

I had never heard of him until just now. Wow. What?!!! He can sing. He reminds me of Johnny Cash too.

[@CooperativeWaffles]

Prince · Another Lonely Christmas A unrecognized great from the Artist's B-side.

[@georgefisher1995]

If you like story songs that hit you in the feelies, try Stan Rogers “First Christmas”. Not a story of Christmas, but a story of someone’s milestone’s in life. It’s of a type like “Cats in a Cradle “.

[@mattdemers9002]

When i was working in Saskatchewan original 16 was the best beer so is THE GREAT COLTER WALL

[@SisterJenniJackson]

making me think of Tennesse Ernie Ford's "16 Tons"! Cool!

[@PowderBlueThunder]

Saw him live some months back dudes badass

[@Renee-Suzanne]

Omg AWESOME

[@teresapilkington8088]

I love him I think he is very talented and entertaining and amazing he is so young and writes his own music and he is from Canada and he actually a real cowboy who before he started getting his music out worked on a ranch as a real cowboy

[@adambrewer4400]

he is real country, you need to listen to sleeping on the blacktop.

[@nonagrey3422]

We need more murder ballads like this. I love it!
