Noeline Hofmann | "Purple Gas" | Western AF

[@erickbolden2584]

This version is the best. You can hear the soft, earthy tones that make her voice so unique and relatable.

[@WesternAF]

We couldn't agree more!

[@alexgray8804]

The gems on vhs and western af recordings are like that, they pick up the subtleties that the studio filters out or something. Always the best versions of songs, besides unamplified, in person, these guys get it the best.

[@timothycummins2700]

Soft, earthy tones? This is a woman’s voice not a wine tasting. Calm down.

[@adamw4469]

100%. I always say "Every song has a best version and that version is this version..." Another WAF gold bar.

[@deleon9111]

"Purple Gas" is a love letter to the prairies, a tribute to the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to feed and fuel a nation. It's a song that reminds us of the importance of roots, of the enduring connection between people and place. And in its quiet, unassuming way, it's a song that celebrates the extraordinary beauty of ordinary life. I can't wait to witness where Noeline takes us next in her creative journey.

[@jackbrowning8013]

Definitely get the same feeling as when I caught Colter for the first time in 2017. On the verge of generational-legend status haha

[@mr.thennessen6174]

Wowza, between her and Colter Wall, the prairies of Western Canada are saving country music

[@NormanFarms]

Yeah no kidding!! Colters the best!!

[@slikrik505]

Zach Bryan , Sturgil and myself. Are keeping it down here in the US

[@TMBRKS]

Don't forget about Bella White! Criminally underrated.

[@mattritchie3468]

Her and Kade Hoffman just opened for Colter in Missoula. It was awesome.

[@andyburton4036]

We love you, Noeline!

[@mackiefarrell]

"I think Montana is just Southern Alberta" I already loved the song but that last little quip sold me. I hope this girl goes far

[@LifeonFishCreek]

Oh wow, this hit my soul and I'm not even a prairie boy.

[@7.83hz7]

Big love for hometown Canadians making a name for themselves in country music ❤️

[@joannabreaks435]

LETS GO GiRLS

[@carver7689]

Music like this heals the soul.

[@WesternAF]

Amen

[@pinkkfloydd]

I really hope a version gets put on Spotify that's just her singing it. Zach Bryan's cool and all but this should be her song and her song alone.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Zach Bryan is such basic tier vapid garbage. He gives the impression of being deep and full of substance, but never delivers. The lyrics are incredibly sophmoric at best. I can see why women love his music so much.

[@pinkkfloydd]

@@whiteyfisk9769 Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan. I mean, I'd rather listen to his stuff than shit like Florida Georgia Line and Blake Shelton, but gimme Colter Wall, Colby Acuff, Charley Crockett, and so on.

[@joannabreaks435]

If you aren't Canadian you just don't understand them meaning of pumping PURPLE GAS

[@whiteyfisk9769]

@@pinkkfloydd exactly, i agree with you whole heartedly there. If you like those artists, check out Ian Noe too, especially his first 2 albums. Incredible songwriter, its an honest shame covid killed his momentum.

[@MatthewAdamson-tt5lj]

@@whiteyfisk9769not replying to cause arguing, i respect everyone having opinions and am saying mine, personally i listened to Zach Bryan almost everyday for EVER almost starting end of last year, he personally helped me through some tough times I’ve gone through so naturally I love him lol

[@ageewilso]

great talent. loving the shimmer in the high notes

[@NuTsi33]

i mean come on. "iv got plates for purple gas, about the only break i catch. but im not the kind of man the blame the dealer on a losing hand". the first fooking line has more magic than anything iv heard on the radio in 10 years. idk what politics go into who we hear on the radio but i can tell you 100% its not because they are the best. damn Canadians are whoopin our ass out here! lol fantastic song. cheers

[@jodiemason747]

I saw her in a songwriters circle at CCMA’s a couple weeks back .. as truly gold as ZB is .. she is magic. ❤

[@codyleecox]

So good!!! I would love to hear a duet with Colter, just a couple folks from northern Montana lol

[@Scottadamcurrie]

We saw her play it live for the first time in Montana this summer! Beautiful and haunting.

[@WesternAF]

So good!

[@riverzrox]

in northern montana?😹

[@linboyea6588]

Oh girl, I hope you get all the recognition you deserve.

[@mattbakersucks]

simply tooooooo goooooood

[@MonkeiKing]

Didn't even get halfway through before it was added to my country playlist love it

[@Shineonrainyday-ou9du]

This girl is like magic, her voice and soft guitar playing has me in a trance. Love her style too!

[@WesternAF]

She’s the real deal

[@arly672]

Love Zach Bryan but Noeline on her own kills it. Proud to be Canadian!

[@WesternAF]

She’s the Queen 🙌

[@dakota.dyl.45]

Such an honest old soul, molded by the land.. makes me proud and nothing else beats being a prairie kid.

[@harles115]

Noeline Alberta Queen! So excited to hear more from her

[@WesternAF]

Queen indeed

[@qtip4747]

She and Colter Wall needs to do a song together ASAP

[@WesternAF]

i approve of this message

[@qtip4747]

@@WesternAF ❤️❤️❤️

[@NormanFarms]

Hopefully one day we’ll see that on Western AF!!!

[@AndyTheCornbread]

Well done! I didn't realize Canada had the same thing we call red dye diesel, or off road diesel here in the US.

[@ocrow8079]

So fine...., thank you Ms Hofmann, and thank you Western AF!

[@WesternAF]

yer welcome amigo

[@farmershane]

Those lyrics are great!

[@FGRFoSho]

She deserves the same recognition that Zach getting

[@davidwindham5804]

You missed the point of Zach helping her.

[@ChristyFoster-bo1rh]

Thank you sweet child of mine for teaching me patience and having faith! Guns Roses Forever and Always

[@zacksmith5801]

Well, she's taking the same steps so keep supporting and cross your fingers. Or put yourself in a position to give that to her. Otherwise shut up and quit crying.

[@spread4me75]

Wow, I'm not a country music fan but I'm a big fan of this young ladies work/music!

[@lawriealvos7418]

I'm from Australia, and I relate to this song, your music and sound is amazing, thank you😊

[@georgiahofmann711]

I love your giggle at the end Noeline! 💜

[@nicksilver_music]

This is my Summer Jam

[@EmilyBrooks-q4v]

the best tribute to the prairies i've ever heard

[@WesternAF]

🫡 amen

[@justinmellem8964]

The note she hits at 1:50 legitimately brings a tear to my eye.

[@Makinplans1]

This is beautiful. God made a farmer…… 💚💚💚💚

[@Tugboat_City]

I like when her Canadian accent slips through. Swoon!

[@dinosaurclub]

what? how...we sound like complete hosers lol

[@adamw4469]

Incredible talent. At 1:30 when she breaks the 4th wall and stares straight into the camera, that's when there is no going back from this song.

[@SCHARLI1]

LOVED her opening performance for Charley Crockett in Montana. Thanks for coming to Great Falls Noeline!

[@tylerhouser4609]

Simple chords, brilliant lyrics and chilling vocals. This song, on repeat, all day.

[@jessebirdwell9489]

As beautiful as this song is… if you grew up on a farm/ranch, or are still there, this hits you just a tad bit different.

[@brandonmoore5602]

Yep. That’s true.

[@ezziba8240]

Yep, very much so. "Keep your head down; it goes on forever." That's just about as true as can be on a ranch, especially when you're a farmer on top of it. We stop with the cows just to start on the grain. Stop with the grain to start on the hay. Stop with the hay to start on the harvest. ...And it just goes on forever. 😂

[@unrealgiraffe69]

Caught this beautiful lady open for Wyatt Flores last week in Denver. She is incredible and I hope she blows up! She seems incredibly genuine and she is so so talented. Keep crushing lady!

[@zacharysimmons5597]

Saw her open for CC. She’s phenomenal and can’t wait to hear more from her.

[@WesternAF]

Hellova show

[@ToniWebb-v8t]

Just wow ❤

[@ngamac]

Saw her live in support of the mighty Charley Crockett in Montreal. Amazing show & artist!

[@joannabreaks435]

Baby girl I have not been home to western canada for 5 years I forgot what purple gas was Thank you for reminding me I love you

[@tonez2231]

This is my first time hearing this voice, definitely won't be the last 👌🏼There must be something in that Saskatchewan water

[@NormanFarms]

Oh definitely, between her and Colter, country music is true country music now.

[@TheDDDeagle]

Her comments on montana being southern alberta feels like a callback to colters cowpoke video.

[@NormanFarms]

Yeah it really does!! 🤣

[@skyylarr14]

I get big June Carter vibes from her voice wow she’s amazing

[@ginnyvogel7754]

What a lovely lyricist she is! Beautifully filmed.
