What's your favorite recent song by CW? Thanks for watching y'all!

[@stonewalljackson5223]

Mines Kate mcCannon

[@keaneskinner4775]

Summer wages

[@ameliaerskine9056]

ballad of a law-abiding sophisticate probably

[@Pabushcraft]

Big Iron is excellent and would have to be my favorite song from his newest album

[@supertommi98]

Fraulein, featuring Tyler childers

[@Brad_Bowden]

Yes he works on a Ranch..Joe Rogan wanted him to come on his Podcast and he said he couldn’t right now cause he had to work the ranch lol.

[@bugvswindshield]

check out his "bunkhouse" music. His bunkhouse is nice...lol....but i'm sure its minimum space. Great songs !!!!!! all live just a year ol

[@dylanwrann3135]

Heard that when he had Brenden Schaub on! Didn’t expect anything less

[@Garkimyer]

He said it’s winter here in Canada , if i leave the Cattle alone they’ll all die.

[@alaskadurf1918]

Western as fuck

[@lauracooskey9481]

I love how Colter's voice gets soft and intimate when he sings, "I might spend all summer.... with her on my mind."

[@kameronlance2281]

Favorite

[@bradenturberville8218]

He does a cover of "Big Iron" that is just fantastic on his newest album. And he's done a song with Tyler Childers called "Fraulein" which is amazing.

[@Pabushcraft]

I’ll second both of those recommendations!

[@Lebeif]

Yeah I agree!

[@MoonMan1229]

Third

[@eddiereyes6193]

Fourth

[@bradpitt3810]

13 silver dollars has got to be my favorite colter wall song. Can’t believe you haven’t done it yet!

[@CJ_Carpenter]

Wish it were longer

[@ActionNerdGo]

He used to sound like scotch and cigars, now he sounds like Bourbon, its strong and full of character, but smooth and sweet, and he's the real deal. and actual singing cowboy to put Gene & Roy to shame. Gonna add to the "Big Iron" vote. But also "Wild Dogs"

[@johnnyg632]

But like good bourbon. Smokey, full and intense, yet smooth and easy.

[@kurtrasmussen7416]

I’d agree but to be annoyingly specific I’d say he use to sound like an an over-proofed Isla peated scotch and a cheap cigar to now sounding like a 100 proof bourbon with a smoking pipe. Just right in the pocket and controlled.

[@kurtrasmussen7416]

Both great, just different. But it’s fun to see the evolution.

[@paytonmelvin7636]

He’s a cowboy on a couple different ranches, but lives in Swift Current, Sask

[@tobias1959]

Possibly his parents

[@PhunWithGoats]

@@tobias1959 His dad was the premier (Similar to a state governor in the US) of Saskatchewan for more a decade. Not sure they are doing much ranching.

[@paytonmelvin7636]

Brent Triebe-Gravel Yes, his parents live in Swift Current (I’m from Sask I know his dad). But he works on a couple different ranches throughout the U.S

[@joshuacourtney9266]

I heard a rumor that Joe Rogan wanted him to do his podcast, and when he called colter, colter turned him down because he was too busy on the ranch. I mean, who turns down the JRE?! Love it man keep up the good work!

[@Dr.Spatula]

Someone who prioritizes prior engagements to publicity. It shows how true to his word he is

[@sdot5389]

Probably people that want to steer clear of JR’s crazy bullshit.

[@jacobcraig9872]

“Living on the sand” - colter wall it’s an amazing song

[@j.p9655]

My favorite.

[@Mrmynameiszach]

100% “Far from promised land….”

[@edgarpryor3233]

One thing I appreciate about his newer sound is that it sounds like something that he can maintain. His early stuff had me concerned that he would injure his voice, it even looked painful for him.

[@chughes44]

he works on a ranch in texas basically due to covid and he cant tour. I suspect it is to learn the ropes because he recently purchased a heard of cows up in "northern montana"

[@GarrettLaPolt]

Just wanted to throw it out there, this song is a cover. I am a huge fan of this song and colters. But just wanted to add that in there. Speaking of his covers, big iron the incredible Marty Robbins tune, is an absolutely incredible cover that colter does.

[@Tasty.Jams44]

Hank Williams sang it. Who knows if hank wrote it tho. It’s a very old song probably passed down and around to all kinds of cowpokes

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

Those "oooh" vocals are not exactly what you'd expect from him but damn does he pull it off perfectly, one of my favorite songs of his!

[@hermansekne]

Thanks for taking my suggestion!🤘

[@jamesclark4523]

As long as you’re doing colter wall, it’s a good idea.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Agreed!

[@jamesclark4523]

@@SongwriterReacts check out , Bob Fudge by colter wall

[@SongwriterReacts]

[@_el_del_bajo5_]

Cant believe the level of production u got man barely discovered u yesterday love the content recently got into the folk music country scene loving it here

[@ProfHojo-]

what an honor to be from the same province as this man haha

[@SongwriterReacts]

You are lucky!

[@richardmacpherson3924]

Yes!! I finally ran across a song reviewer that covers my favorite niche - cowboy music.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Glad to have ya here Richard!

[@settlingshark]

So glad I found out about this channel lol. You should react to Johnny boys bones with colter and the dead south.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Added! Thanks!

[@karynmaddox9397]

Johnny boys bones is my favorite Colter jam!

[@karynmaddox9397]

Johnny boys bones is my favorite Colter jam!

[@stilleythekid2774]

Been here since the beginning, glad to see your channel growing brother!

[@MrDzlsmoke]

You gotta listen to the same song by Dave Stamey. This is a very old song Ive heard all my life and Colter does it a great justice keeping the original feel eddy Arnold put in it.

[@Raycharles37]

I was looking for this comment. Stamey is the man

[@ryanturner8577]

I recently discovered Colter as well. This is one of my favorites of his. I also came across a video for "Paste Magazine" and he did an acoustic version of the song Snake Mountain Blues. Amazing. A more recent one I just watched was "Bob Fudge" which he does outside in tall grass haha. As western as it gets. Major Johnny Cash vibes in that one. He became one of my favorite artists almost overnight.

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

The yodels and simple classic song really show how he has grown into both his voice and music. I really love his stuff. Don’t worry about having to lose the hat for the new headphones. You have a good head of hair and the style looks good. Hang in there and keep up the reviews and music! Stay safe. Stay well.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Yeah, I think his voice sounded more mature in this performance than the earlier ones. Thanks so much and hope you have a great rest of your week!

[@anthonyb3432]

Saskatchewan in 1881-Colter Wall check it out next man!

[@LawAbidingSophisticates]

Yes, he does help out at a ranch in Texas, but, currently, he is living in Tennessee somewhere. Just temporarily. He had an interview this past week talking about how he likes moving around and can never be in one place for a long time.

[@perkinsshaquan770]

Wanna do the same but I’m in New York City with no type of experience any advice

[@Chromatomic]

This was interesting, it sounds a bit more natural compared to his early stuff (or maybe just the recording?) but I hadn't heard this one before so I was equally surprised at the falsetto start.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Yeah, it was definitely a cleaner recording. Not as much effects and no kick drum. That falsetto start took me by surprise haha!

[@ericbruce5075]

Its a cattle call. Pretty regular to hear this exact one on ranches.

[@shaun_177]

Been following you recently . Glad you like Colter Wall. He is phenomenal. I highly recommend the song Bob Fudge . Great story of an old cowboy , Bob Fudge (go figure lol), herding cattle across the country and the hardships. One of my favorites . Edit: live from the back pasture is video I'd recommend.

[@SpadeandArcherBlues]

Wild Dogs is one of my favourite Colter Wall songs.

[@landonsquires4207]

Listen to that shit driving in the middle of no where at night. I swear it doesn't just sound good it feels good

[@antoniovalencia1009]

That song is one of my favorites song’s that he sings. Loved the reaction Mr. Byler.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Really appreciate ya Antonio!

[@breadmonster5058]

i know i’m a year late, but check out the original by Dave Stamey it’s a classic

[@joelotrtitan1927]

Blood and Thunder... good read

[@guskrauz3094]

You need to react to Bob fudge!!!!! That is a song where you can hear his entire range. Also he is from Swift Current Saskatchewan and his family owns a ranch up there and he spends time working on the ranch.

[@tobias1959]

And his father was the Premier of the province, Canadas version of a Governor

[@stilleythekid2774]

Snake mountain blues by colter is probably my favorite cover song ever

[@adamdunbar8260]

Love this guy. This song he channels his inner Ramblin Jack.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

I believe he’s also a university trained musician

[@keaneskinner4775]

Next you gotta react to rosemary by Sierra Ferrell.

[@joerogers7677]

React to sturgill Simpson you won’t regret it!

[@SatsumaTengu14]

This a very old western song, traditional droving song. The yodel was used, or so I was told, to settle the cattle and keep them from spooking.

[@jadonharrison8491]

Man, this song is quite possibly my favorite Colter Wall song yet. I was wondering though, any way you can check out Billy Strings playing Brown's Ferry Blues?

[@jakebradley9256]

Story wise Bald Butte is one of his best. Makes you feel like you listening to a short western story.

[@TYSLAPE]

Yes he works on a huge ranch mostly during the spring through summer. Also his dad used to be Prime minister of his area. Lol

[@stalunhaphap8976]

please do Bald Butte. the amount of details is unbelievable. personally my favorite song from him.

[@TheHankerchief26]

I enjoy a lot of Colter's music. I have yet to hear a song from him I don't like. Off his albums and singles: Lot of the good ones have been mentioned; here are some of the ones that aren't quite as famous yet still frequently grace my radio: John Beyers (fun story, based on a feud two guys from his hometown had over a girl, where the eponymous John Beyers and the unnamed narrator take potshots at each other's Camaros), Wild Bill Hickok, Tying Knots In The Devil's Tail, Plain To See Plainsman, Henry & Sam, High & Mighty, his cover of Big Iron, Thirteen Silver Dollars, Living On The Sand, Codeine Dream, Transcendent Ramblin' Railroad Blues, Ballad Of A Law Abiding Sophisticate, Bob Fudge, and You're Lucky She's Lonely. Songs that haven't made it to album yet: He's done several really good Roger Miller covers, but hands down, the cover he did of "A World So Full Of Love" with The Dead South is the best I've heard so far. "My Uncle Used To Love Me But She Died", another Roger Miller cover he did with The Dead South, doesn't quite hit you as hard, but is a lot of fun. Thanks for covering this, I enjoyed it!

[@Garkimyer]

He works on his own cattle farm in Saskatchewan n I believe.

[@jorda.2412]

He lived in the Sask southwest. Edit his Dad was the premiere of Saskatchewan= governor of Montana or n.d.

[@SongwriterReacts]

Premiere makes it sound so much cooler ha.

[@Brad_Bowden]

Dude Love this channel glad i stumbled across it!

[@calvinengelbrecht6708]

"Bob Fudge" is an amazing song

[@SongwriterReacts]

Already got ya covered: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKWbd2SohdZmrrs

[@aorton101]

His cover of Big Iron is fantastic!

[@garthfarkley]

Thinkin' On A Woman Me & Big Dave and Everything Else. Cowpoke is a cover but Wall makes it real and authentic for me.

[@Redneckf350]

I’m tellin you, White Buffalo!! Wish It was True. Killer!! Also, “Bald Butte” from Colter has always been my fav. The opening riff I could play on loop all day!

[@roxygeralds8465]

React to Caroline by colter wall. It’s by far one of his best!!

[@bugvswindshield]

Colter Wall Bunkhouse Sessions . Great NEW songs!!!! Him live in his hand bunkhouse. dig a bit and you'll find vid or pic of him on horse with cattle.

[@tannerknox72]

Colter Wall- Talkin Prarie boy is more of a talking song. Reminds me of Boy Named Sue!

[@ChasseloupShorts]

I think he is in Saskatchewan, Canada

[@mombo5568]

Dude, you know he's Canadian

[@nicholasmurner7523]

you really put me in my place there Burt :)

[@jaketylermusic692]

This is a good one man. Another good reaction I covered one of his songs I plan to do more over time. You the man. Check out “Saskatchewan 1881” by colter wall very good relatable story as usual.

[@ericadams1745]

Saskatchewan in 1881

[@xfoxtersx]

This is a Dave Stamey song by the way

[@noahenright3082]

Another amazing one is Bob Fudge sung by Colter

[@sniffingglue4544]

A less serious, but catchy tune I’ve heard is “New Year Day” by Charlie Robison

[@stonewalljackson5223]

Keep the good videos up!

[@SongwriterReacts]

Thanks so much Jesse!

[@GasGasRider619]

Id like to see you do John Beyers and Tying Knots in the Devils Tail, off his "songs of the plains album" both are just over 2 mins long and don't have videos that I know of. Could probably squeeze them both into one video

[@alvinrobertson1612]

Definitely enjoy this cover over the original. Just fits the lyrics a little better

[@derrickschmidt7278]

Cowpoke is also a cover song..

[@michelero8794]

I took the yodel as another nod to Jimmie Rodgers, Rodgers seems to be a favorite of his. In thirteen silver dollars he references him and he did mule skinner too. His new album has henry and sam.

[@breadmonster5058]

no the yodel is from the original song by Dave Stamey. also, sorry i’m a year late

[@brentmight6700]

Bob fudge!!!! Its a cover of another great canadian country artist Ian Tyson. Colter dose a great cover over it. A great true story from cattle herders in the early 1900's

[@2ph0nky]

He’s working on a ranch in Texas

[@jacobcraig9872]

Since quarantine he has been working as a ranch hand

[@levijones4529]

He is from Canada

[@matty6711]

Would anyone be able to tell me what body type his guitar is? I know he's using kapo tuned down, but can't figure out body type? Classical, parlor, or om?

[@PF-Fly]

You’ve done a lot of Colter and Tyler Childers. You should do their cover of Fraulein. It’s the only song they’ve recorded together.

[@konnermyers9571]

He rewrote the lyrics of cowpoke original one is by don walser

He’s a hand on a ranch , but usually a cow poke. He heards cattle from one place or the other the old way. He was so far out this year he had to turn down an interview with joe Rogan because it would be months before he got back.
