This dude sounds like he's lived three lifetimes and he's still in his 20's. Amazingly talented.
yeah feel the same
Jesus loves y'all
I know right
Great observation.
“It sounds lonesome, but he ain’t alone, cause these old prairies has cradled many of his kind in their long sleep.”
-Charles Russell
I'm not from North America, I haven't worked the land, I've never been a cowboy or a ranch hand, nor can I pull off a Stetson, but Colter's music strikes chords in my soul.
Your words are legendary
I'm from northern canada. Been a rancher my entire life. Wouldnt change it for anything. 5 months into a brutal winter, the praire is lonely.
I think the purpose of music is that connection you feel
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Music unites us all. I’m a 14 year old cowboy/ranchhand, and I’ve rode and roped in Illinois for 3 years, Wyoming for 2, and now I’m on down to Arkansas with my family until I turn 18. Then, I’ll be back in Wyoming on the desolate plains driving cattle the way it should be. I won’t make a lot of money, barely enough for a living, but I wouldn’t rather have it any other way. I was recommended to listen to Colter by a couple friends who said I sound not unlike him, as I have a quite deep, howling voice, deeper than the average man’s already.
man i just wanna say, im a wildland firefighter, and on those days when the mountains to steep for the saw, or the flames and smoke are taking the wind out of me, your music reminds me why i love my job, and will always continue to fight fire till the day im dead. Bless this man, and whatever inspired him to curate these amazing stories. You can find me on a fire somewhere, sharpening chain, and listening to this man tell his tales.
Hell yeah
That’s really awesome, thanks for doing what you do
Sounds like you might have quite a few yourself
Oorah till Valhalla brother
Yes sir we appreciate you
This guy is a legend, it's a privilege to live in the same era as Colter Wall.
Good point, next time some one starts complaining about the lack of modern good music....
@@contrafax
there are several very good musicians currently
they are only unknown.
I can even cite some that I hear
Jake Smith from The White Buffalo, Benjamin Tod from Lost Dog Street Band, Glen Hansard, Foy Vance, Uncle Lucius, Tyler Childers, Ben Caplan, Kim Beam, Chris Staplaton, Whiskey Myers, Turnpike Troubadours, The Steel Woods, Cody Jinks, Larry Fleet and many others that I don't know yet
I hear that
One of our grates
@@danfran47 John Moreland, no ?
Played Red Dead -> Heard this song in-game -> searched the song on TH-cam -> found this cover -> was introduced to the world of Colter Wall
8mmKyle welcome to the group with the greatest taste of modern country music.
Welcome
Exact same with me. Plus I listen to this almost everytime I play rd2 online
The RDR1 version is from William Elliott Whitmore, a great singer with the same style as Colter Wall
I knew CW before I played RDR, but it's a shame Rockstar didn't use his music/voice in RDR2
This is real old school country, even most of his own Songs are like that. Finally some country without that shitty Pop influence.
ur mom I know you might not like that pop influence, But give Orville Peck a try. Specifically Dead of Night, He really is a lovely fusion
Cooper Smith EPIC.
Cooper Smith i love colter heaps, dont be so rude 10 bucks you aint big in real life
2146 AUS Western suburbs ring us up👊
@@coopersmith9748 Hey you two, ain't no reason to be rash or rude. Just listen to what ya want and sit back and relax.
GORGEOUS P.WET.E sorry man. Got a little ahead of myself.
Colter you need to be about 200x more popular then you currently are
Popularity ruins everything, which is why I can't listen to mainstream country anymore.
He really doesn’t, he needs to stay just where he’s at. His inspirations are from his environment and leaving that environment would ruin the soul he sings from
@@curtismallette6045 what about Cash?
@@lordbob1364 Haha, You would love my songs then.....my friends don't even know my name. Click the picture and check it out. Pink Floyd plus Waylon plus JJ Cale= Travelers of Myths
Yeah popularity is about the worst thing a man could wish for
“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie”
These words came slow and mournfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
In his dying bed at the close of day
“Oh, bury me not...” and his voice failed there
But we took no heed to his dying prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the owl of night hoots mournfully
And the blizzard beats and the winds blow free
O’re his lonely grave on the lone prairie
And the cowboys, now as they roam the Plains
For to mark the spot where his bones were lain
Fling a handful of roses o’re his grave
With a prayer to God for his soul to save
And this is just you in your pickup truck out in the middle of the country.
Now that's how you record a proper damn song.
That's a damn fine single, Sir.
I've done this before road out to the pasture and j strung a tune or 2 , but that's just life in the Midwest
He's in front of a green screen. You can see definitely at about 1:20 when something falls in the windows behind him but doesn't show in the space above the outside of the truck.
@@natea2977 Its not a green screen, its just snow falling off the roof onto the truck bed.
@@natea2977 Definitely snow, definitely not green screen. :)
This is what I like about him, he doesn't sing about trucks and dirt roads, he experiences it.
Colter really has that desperado feeling that all the old country greats had and yet still holds originality. He will surely be one of the greats of our time.
The song - the voice - the truck - damn! Another gold one.
That truck is fucking the bee's knees
The truck is cheesy. Feckin nerds.
Imagine Colter playing Wayfaring Stranger
Baptiste Denis
That would be absolutely wonderful
or further on up the road
Jack Rose YESSSS
Hayde does my favorite version of that song. Check it out. Colter would be a version I’d like to see too
I'll wait for it patiently
If this guy doesn't make it to Red Dead 2 I'd get mad.
It's Britney Twitch I agree. He could do the whole damn soundtrack. Its funny that RDR2 is gonna be released this month and he just released this song. Hopefully he'll at least do a song or two on the game.
This song is on the soundtrack, except it's sung by William Elliott Whitmore.
alexander soto yeah,I know its on the first red dead soundtrack. I was just saying that its kinda a coincidence that he's doing his rendition of it,just before the red dead 2 release. A lot of Colter's music would fit well with red dead.
"Johnny Boy's Bones" Would've been great for Red Dead Redemption 2
I really do hope we hear at least one of his songs in it.
My favorite thing he's done on TH-cam is Kate mcannon the Brewery sessions that version of that song with just him and the base drum on his heel is haunting. I wish I had a way to have that version on a recording.
Same here! All of the Brewery sessions songs are beautiful and those are the best versions of them. And this base drum on his heel! Haunting is a very exact word for it. I just can't get enough of that sound. I linked that video to all of my friends and family. So into his music right now.
Just to let you guys know it’s on iTunes
And you can find sites that pull songs from youtube to download
Keith Henson I like sleeping on the blacktop the brewery session
Jordan Glynn But that doesnt support young talent that like this that needs support.
His voice brings me back to old westerns from the 60's and 70's, a time I never lived in. You can say that guys like Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Midland, and Jason Isbell are all keeping traditional country tunes alive. But Colter's sound goes back even further than theirs. He sings like an old cowpoke with a dip in. No other country singer out there has the western feel and sound that Colter does!
All midland is are some damn hipsters trying to act country 😂 you got the other ones right though
@@Chris-wq5pc That may be true, but they sure do have a good ol 90's country sound to 'em.
I’d seriously suggest checking out Sierra Ferrell and Benjamin Tod as well!
@@matthewsawczyn6592 Sierra has such a beautiful voice
Actually checkout Clifton Hicks if you wanna go deeper.
We need a full album of Colter playing this kind of tunes inside a pickup truck
I like this better than the version at the end of RDR1. This man has a voice that could haunt the devil...
MisfitPunish3r think of this version of the song as the high honor version
That’s pretty foreboding man. Is there anything you wanna tell us?
This reminds me of the old country road songs my dad used to listen to...music like this makes me miss my dad. I lost him 4 years ago....this song makes me feel closer to him.
I hear ya!My old man died 15 years ago, and music just seems to keep that connection strong. It's also a fantastic way for his grandchildren to learn about him.
Yeah ummm, thanks for cheerin everybody up...have a nice day 😬
Recorded in a truck and sounds better then any music today. Your voice is unbelievable. First time I heard a song by you I got chills. Gotta go buy some of your CDs since my aux broke in my truck!
Anyone who don’t like this, their last name is probably McCannon.
Nice.
Or they're a FGL fan.
Those damn McCannon's.
Damn McCannons
Colter lore
colter, this random emo girl loves the heck out of your music. its a privilege to live during the same time as you and your talent. keep being great.
This isn’t Lavalife honey. Kick rocks ya toxic avenger! No girls allowed
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 LMAO bro did you just say no girls allowed in country music ever heard of Loretta Lynn
@Proud Straight White Christian Conservative Man No way you aren’t satire
@@evansilva3045here's hoping lol
@@evansilva3045 so you can’t be a white Christian man? Stfu racist..
This guy has been the best find I've made on youtube. Fantastic artist
He and Tyler Childers are my two favorites at the moment
Have you come across Shakey Graves?
@@HSTMachine shake graves is good too, and so many others but right now I pretty much only listen to Colter and Tyler. Also really into shovels and rope and the civil wars. So much talent and only a few of us know and appreciate them. It's sad that mainstream music isn't good and good music isn't mainstream
Yeah, you have a real ear for this! You should be a social media talent scout! You’re the best! Surprised we haven’t heard of you...like EVER! Get over yourself ya clown! 😂
I would like to certify Colter Wall a big deal. This man has talent beyond fathomable thought. He has truly saved the real sound of thia generation and its a shame he isn't more recognized.
It’s a shame you’re not more literate. Bahahaha!
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 Who gives a shit? Bahahahahaha!
Thank you for keeping the Cowboy alive sir.
Pretty sure Ive listened to this atleast 100 times in the past week.
How many now? More than a hundred?
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 Easily
Beautiful Music, I don't think I've come across a single song from you that I haven't liked.
Well, I can't listen to the album version of Kate McCannon after seeing footage of him playing it solo... apart from that, I agree with you!
Operator except for that wverything thst he does solo is better
Ewwww! You shouldn’t be comin across nuthin Eric Strokerson! Gross! Lol
That dodge made that song sound amazing. Reminds me of all the times riding with my grandfather. I still have that truck. Thank you for the song.
My favorite thing about this guy are all the flaws in his performances. They're aren't necessarily "flaws" but I don't know what else
to call them. Either way, they are the signs of an absolutely truthful performance. There ain't a thing about Colter Wall's music that you could call fake. I don't know of many artists today that can say the same and I for damn sure don't know of many other artists of his age that can deliver such a performance w just a mic and an Acoustic Guitar.
Dude is a legend.
This is so deep! Does anyone else feel his words? Especially while drinking?
Yes, some songs. However Blaze Foley is closer to the heart while drinking, such amazingly tragic and beautiful songs he have.
One must whiskey while listening to Colter
@@Cloudriveband Yes! Cheers! 🍻

Brock Lesnar mentioned on Steve Austin's podcast about how great this guy is, so I thought I'd check him out. Listened to a few songs and not disappointed. This is great music!!
I'd Brock listens to him he just went up a couple notches in my book!
That's why I looked him up too.
Never thought Brock Lesnar would listen to something like really old styled country
I love these haunting old school country songs. I love colter wall so much, his voice, the songs he chooses to cover, and even his original songs are so good it’s almost unbelievable. It’s like I’ve been standing my whole life and have just taken a seat. A cigarette for the soul.
This is like the prequel to Johnny boy's bones
Every time I listen to Colter Wall, it feels a cowboy from 1890 is singing straight to me. Stuff that ease's a lonely soul after a long day of blue collar work making peanuts
Johnny cash cowboy from the 1800's.
A good old Dodge and mighty fine music. The way it was meant to be
Was it?! Was this REALLY the way it was meant to be, DREW??! As if that’s even your REAL name anyhow, ya phoney! You make me SICK! Lol! No but seriously 🤮

Glad someone is doing these songs and bringing them new light
Thank god for this man to bring us this music in this day and age i love all his music!
I had a '73 Country 100. 4X4. Loved that truck....
I love living out on the prairie of SW North Dakota, I do love every single song I've listened to of yours Colter. Love your voice. So amazing.
Can you not see the great expance of the rolling plains…? Feel the wind on your face…? The words of this song takes me back to a time we will never get to witness. An era we will never experience. This is the words of a dying cowboy, not wanting to be forgotten. It’s a good reminder to preserve the west and that western spirit the best we can else it too be forgotten
Sorry, we have to import more third worlders to keep wages down and housing markets up.
@@scottanos9981 It’s very true… Soo unfortunate but sadly true 😔
I guess nobody else is gonna say it.
This man is so talented that his music videos are simply of him sitting or standing while performing. He lets his music do the speaking, as all artists should.
Please make this a digital single or something so I can listen to this wherever I go. It's so damn good.
If you have an android just copy the link and use a TH-cam to mp3 converter on Google. I use flvto.
Johnny cash has it in a recording 👍
@@jakeyouell7180 Fantastic tip. I new knew about that. Thanks
@@jakeyouell7180 dude. You just changed my life 😂 thank you!
You speak from your heart, you play from your soul. You understand the isolation of ones self. Those who choose to appreciate the song do not understand. I hear your soul in voice and guitar, I appreciate you as an artist of music. I pray for you and hope your believe and trust in god as I do.
God bless your path.
-One of Gihon
Oh okay, weirdo! Lol! No but seriously...a little creepy, James. Might wanna take it down a few...dozens notches. Like on the handle of your machete, perhaps?! Lol
Just when I think Colter couldn’t get any better, he’s singing and playing in a Dodge pick-up. I owe this man many a drink if I’m ever lucky enough to meet him! What a shame we never get to hear ‘outlaw country’ on the radio.
You should just give him money. Betcha he’d like that too, huh? You should try it.
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 Errrr ok, I have bought all his albums so kinda best I can do.
Amazing and perfectly fitting to a sad lonely sick dying young cowboy or anyone in pain or suffering prayers Amen ❤
The fact that he’s sitting in a classic dodge truck playin his gtar is amazing
Is it?! Is the fact that he’s sitting in a classic Dodge truck playin his ‘gtar?’ just AMAZING to you??! Simple putz! 😂
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 fuck wrong with you
@@Andrew_-_- fuck wrong with YOU
That truck makes me reminisce about simpler days when all we needed was open spaces and a solid old truck to get us there...
I don’t EVER remember those days. Just a truck and some wide open spaces, huh...?! I’m all for less is more pal but I’m not cuckoooo! I’m gonna need a little more than a rusted out ole pickup truck and a shit covered field in the middle of Nowheresville!
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 If you've never taken your truck to the far end of a large tract of land and parked it to enjoy the solitude... or brought a good woman with whom you have a deeper connection, feeling at that moment that you're the only 2 people on earth, then you've missed out my friend.

Beautiful song.... incredible talent right here! THANK YOU..... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! The cowboys lullaby... like Dixie land to us southerners... very sad but very deep ..God bless all!
Pull yourself together
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 for what? Why would I need to pull my self together for loving a song lol 😂🤨
I never thought this song could be so haunting. I love Colter - he is amazing.
When my wife and I first heard this version of the song we both thought Colter Wall must be some old cowboy singer in his eighties. What a surprise to see this guy who could well still be in his twenties! Great version of this old chestnut!
Colter singing in an old 70's Dodge pickup, doesn't get better for me!
This is going right into the playlist! SWEET!!
thinkin that too
This has gotta be on an album. One of my favorite songs and this cover is honestly the greatest I've ever heard.
Imagine working with him all day on the ranch and then getting to hear him sing these songs around the campfire in the evening.
This is fucked up good. Beyond a privilege to be alive at the same time as this legend
Amazing! You sing these old songs like you wrote them. So much depth. Just amazing.
Pure skill in his storytelling and fingerstyle 😁👍
Anyone who doesnt have him in their top 5 country artists, i just cant respect. This has to be one of my favorite songs hes made too, and i always like the live recorded versions better than the studio edits…cant make something perfect any better than it is.
This is country music at it's absolute finest, purest, truest...this young man blows me the hell away, his voice is everything you ever wanted in a country boy, like graveled velvet. He got something that the others just don't have. Hands down my favorite country voice, of any era, ever.
The best version I've heard!! Incredible!!! I wish it was available on Spotify 😢
Great version, and love his voice. Keep em coming!
21 years old but has put in overtime
Have bought two of his vinyls so far, one limited edition. Gives me a chance to pass his name on, as well as his music. Great Saskatchewan artist
this talent comes once in a lifetime, we are truly blessed to have a voice such as this
Keep it up Colter! I love your music and I spread your name to everyone I speak to about music!
Wow!!! What a voice! I love country music. I do have to say, I've learned to speak the English language through country music. Back in the 90s when, I got divorce at age 19 and at that age I had 3 children and on my own. A Mexican/American young woman with 3 children raising them on my own, I heard my first song of country music, I still can remember that song and fell in love with it. That song was, "Shut Up And Drive" with Shelly Wright. I cannot believe I learn to speak English. God bless you Sr. for singing this song. You have a great voice and keep on going. May God bless you always. Best of luck. I like this version.
That was nice :)
I never thought I would hear country like this anymore. I'm glad I came across this!
Colters voice sounds like Johnny Cash in the morning after an all night bender
My thoughts exactly
Well since Johnny wrote this song... Johnny Cash -Bury me not on the lone prairie - TH-cam
@@contrafax I love Cash but he did not write the song. It was first recorded by Edward Hubbell Chapin in 1920.
@@jonathanpruegert3007 you are correct, not sure who really wrote. Hmm
In a good way?? ;)
This is awesome! Love the raw and real feel of your music!
Beautiful song and love that old 1st gen Dodge
Yes 1st gen square body with a 12 valve cummins 👍
It's good to hear this young artist covering some of these old classics. I don;t imagine many of his generation ever heard some of these. Heck, we grew up singing these songs in school when we were kids. I'm in my 60's.
This is the main reason I wanted to learn how to use a guitar
‘USE’ a guitar?! You don’t fuck it, ya play it! Bahahaha!! 😂
Still waiting for this on Spotify smh 😤
Once in a lifetime, one of a kind Talend. Listening to your music every single day.👊🏼
I fell head over heels in love with your voice! Just amazing!
I remember this was the first song I heard by you back in June of 2019 and I keep coming back to this video sine this was the video that introduced me to your music. Not a day goes by where I don’t listen to any of your songs and you were one of my top artists I listened to on Apple Music in 2021. You have definitely came a long way in the last 2 1/2 years since I discovered you and I can’t wait to hear your new music.
God his voice is the most beautiful thing
Spent a lot of time around Speedy Creek growing up. Still have many cousins living there.
Really enjoying your talent!
Johnny cash's version of this song has been my very favorite for my whole life, i cant believe i didnt know colter sang it too. Stunning ❤
Thanks for sharing this!
Oh this is amazing.
That is exactly the truck I imagine you would drive. With all your success, I imagine you would could buy a new one, but this old truck has a lot more character. Been a fan a long time and I have bought all your tunes. I hope to see you play live one day. Thanks for all the great music brother
My, God! You sir are amazing. I was in the 6th grade when my dad started bringing home all theses records of the outlaws (Willie,, Waylon and the boys). The vibe your music gives off is the same and theirs. You will become a superstar.
Gotta love Mr. Walls ol dodge pickup. Goat ropers need love too

MrSpeakerguy44 I would sing in a depressing tone if I was stuck in the road in a Dodge. lol
Reminds me of Townes Van Zant

Nobody of substance has any clue what you’re talking about
I lie awake in my bed at night listening to this song. This world has broken me. But I have found refuge here.
You can see this is a man who can appreciate the old. The clothes, the guitar, the truck, the music itself. Hopefully he’ll bring it all back
He just gets it. Colter writes songs and sings em in em way that speaks to your soul. Appericate this artist.
So good!
He’s much better as a guitarist than people give him credit for. 🔥
Seen him live twice, and if I hear he's coming around my neck of the woods I won't miss it . He's great live.
Songs like these and music like this in general makes me question all the bullshit i do in my life and gives me the feeling that i belong in another side of life. Strong, solidary, simple, all those things resonate with me but the world today is such a shit storm i dont see the path to get to that side of life
Id really love to hear colter do a cover of “give my love to rose” by johnny cash
