This is the definitive version of Kate McKannon. The tone and delivery are spot on. Other than maybe the album version, I haven't heard anything come close to this one...
I recently learned of Colter while riding in a big rig tow truck towing my Mack out of Iowa. Father and son tow truck drivers as country as country can be straight pipe jake braking 65 mph at every 30 mph sign and Colter cranked on the radio. Couldn’t have been a more fitting time to learn of this man.
I think the slower pace of this version and the album version gives the song so much more power and emotion. Being that all the other songs he sang on the brewery sessions were off his first ep I feel like Kate McCann wasn’t truly finalized when he did it for them.
Completely different sound and style but the guitar work on Ren's "Tale of Jenny and Screech" is amazingly creative too. Both of these guys are master storytellers. Love it.
@JonnyKoval-x3y bro I had forgotten I wrote this comment and like a week ago I put this video on and was dying laughing at my own comment until I realized it was me who had written it weeks earlier 🤣 I'm fried!
Sing man sing . I get chills when i hear this, give it to raw i 'll take it home and cook it myself 😊 where the wind blows and nobody's home that's where you'll find me sitting on a rock with my black dog waiting for spring
Never happen. He doesn't fit the bro country mold. Nashville doesn't take kindly to real artist who pour their hearts into real art. They want dime-dozen songs about pickup trucks, dirt roads, drinkin beers, and painted on jeans.
This version is the best , slow low and sad suits the song. Like others have said it's a bummer his voice has changed a bit with his newer stuff. That said he surly has a bright future ahead.
A very young man with the soul of an old man that lived a hard terrible life.. excellent story teller.. the guitar build as his anger grows at seeing his darling Angel with another lover… just incredible.
What do you think now?? I think he's the greatest Country singer/songwriter toping all the classic ones, (i grew up listening to the the likes of Townes Van zadt and Ian tyson) still i think Colter is the greatest
@@Hell.on.foot1 man, I’m glad to have found him so early in his career. Been loving everything he’s put out over the years, and I’ve been able to see him perform in several different venues when he passes through Indianapolis. Guys like him, Tyler Childers, Drayton Farley, Vincent Neil Emerson, Charley Crockett, Sturgill Simpson, Nolan Taylor, and Jason Isbell are keeping things interesting these days!
In the Brewery Session he played the song with a capo on the third fret and automatically sings it a half step higher. In the normal KateMccannon video and in this video he plays the song with a capo on the second fret (half step lower). So he sings it lower. I like this version more than the Brewery Session version(But I like both).
At 3:03, you can really tell that singing this song hits him in a certain spot. The way he panned at the camera for a second, looking defeated, almost acting out the song.
I’ve seen people compare the brewery sessions to this and other live videos. I saw a comment that was the perfect way to describe brewery sessions vs others. This version seems like he is thinking back on what happened with Kate and is sad and potentially feels bad about it. The brewery sessions version feels more angry in the story telling. Both are fantastic!!
I've tried to look for him on npr and can't find it. On you tube, right? The links donald phect posted don't work either. Anyway, I like this version, I've seen other videos of him singing this song, and maybe they're a bit better. Maybe he was just having a bad day when this was filmed, you never know.
No such thing as a bad performance from Colter, but I think this song needs the energy of a mid-day brewery session to be at full performance potential - - I could listen to him sing anything, but this is low energy and missing the pacing that makes the brewery sessions recordings work so well. I understand he wanted to do it differently like artists tend to do, and it's good to have another version, but if you are showing someone this song for the first time I would avoid this one and give them the one that hooked me. He's in Manhattan and out of his element in this version- too much stuff to do there and he likely spent his energy chasing white lines and warping his mind while killing the time and just didn't know it, then it comes time to do a song and it's great but very very chilled.... maybe too chilled...
Year late I know, but this version and the album version give this song so much more power and emotion in my opinion. Being that I heard the album version first I never really liked the brewery sessions all that much. This version is much more powerful and flowing
@@brandonherzig2468 I always respond to 1+ year old comments myself. I think its bc i heard the brewery sessions first. That and its live - the album version is done in a studio and is put together and mixed differently - retakes and what not - but with this, aside from post mixing, its genuine and speaks to his ability.
He just pumps out a murder ballad like it's the easiest thing on earth and goes back to ranching. What a man
This is the definitive version of Kate McKannon. The tone and delivery are spot on. Other than maybe the album version, I haven't heard anything come close to this one...
The brewery sessions one has like 13 million views and is way better imo. Like this is fantastic but the Brewery Sessions one is legendary
Better than the brewery session.
@@TH-camChannelNot 10000% disagree
I feel like the brewery version is Rushed and he doesn't deliver it as thoroughly as he does when he takes time to play it
@@TH-camChannelNot another vote for this version over the brewery sessions. But both are fantastic
How am I only discovering this cat now???
great feeling isn't it ?
Reckon he's a voice unconstrained by time - You won't be the last in-awe of his songs.
Joe Rogan ? That's how I heard about him
He's not a cat. He's a man
I wanted to comment on this so you could discover him again. Because I too am discovering this here cat.
Pure talent like this don't come around too often
I wonder what colters up to these days - need more of this greatness
@@Red_Dead_Director he just recently cut up a record with Summer Dean
this version has grown on me i dont know what i was thinking initially
It does, but it's only brought to widespread attention when manifested in the offspring of people with influence. Look up who this guy's father is.
We are blessed to be a witness to such talent
Went to sleep listening to this song and woke up with boots on! 🤠
I recently learned of Colter while riding in a big rig tow truck towing my Mack out of Iowa.

Living the dream lads! Euro trucking in the UK hoping to come to the USA and see how it's done right! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏
@@polo-wv2gswhere is the uk mate I’m Edinburgh
The 10 people who disliked this, ended up just like Kate McCannon. This is an absolute BANGER!! ❤️🤘
Kate McCannon just made 10 accounts
😂😂😂👍🏼
Am I the only one who enjoys this more than the brewery sessions?
no. i like this one better also.
I think the slower pace of this version and the album version gives the song so much more power and emotion. Being that all the other songs he sang on the brewery sessions were off his first ep I feel like Kate McCann wasn’t truly finalized when he did it for them.
Definitely not. This one is vastly superior.
I do enjoy this one more but I thought the solo bass drum he was using in the other one was pretty cool.
This one is very good but the other has its place to like I wouldn’t play this version in a hyper environment like a busy bar I’d play the other
My favorite is the brewery sessions video, but anytime Colter sings is a gift and I appreciate it!
Agreed, that version is too Godly
The drum makes it better
I like this version better myself. I think it fits the song better
@@skdrcr Agree. This haunting and melancholy version fits the lyrics.
Snake mountain blues is another that's right up there
This is good music. I miss good music. There is SO MUCH talent that gets overlooked. This guy is an old soul. I am in awe of his talent!
How the guitar builds up emotion after finding Kate with another lover. Genius
Didn’t see your comment.. yes so amazing..
I noticed that too. Gosh he's so talented 😍
Completely different sound and style but the guitar work on Ren's "Tale of Jenny and Screech" is amazingly creative too. Both of these guys are master storytellers. Love it.
2024 still the best song ever.
Not many people can make guitar buzz sound so cool, this guy has talent
He also tends to tune a half step down and puts a capo on the second fret. To make the strings loose but keep regular tuning.
Kicking myself in the ass I didn’t find this sooner
That's why legends never die
I dont like country music but im now a huge Colter Wall fan!
How did I not find him all these years. TH-cam be hiding lot of artists.
Joe Rogan got me here
Look at that!😳 Country music ISN'T dead🤘
And he’s Canadian 😂
No one cares less about loose string fret buzz than Colter. Love it.
Johnny Cash always had a lot of fret buzz, but I always loved how he never let it bother him.
This Dude is F#ckin Awesome!
Absolute Talent
Wow this guy is great! Get him on JRE
this is the best version
absolute best version my goodness
This is the type of man who scares the music industry.. and that scares me
O find him in awe handsome strong excellent voice very sexy....😂
He's smoking that Kate McCannon pack.
Hahaha
@JonnyKoval-x3y bro I had forgotten I wrote this comment and like a week ago I put this video on and was dying laughing at my own comment until I realized it was me who had written it weeks earlier 🤣 I'm fried!
Joe rogan made me discover him a while ago.
Such an old soul.
I only listen to him now. Cant get enough.
Sing man sing . I get chills when i hear this, give it to raw i 'll take it home and cook it myself 😊 where the wind blows and nobody's home that's where you'll find me sitting on a rock with my black dog waiting for spring
Seen him live about a week before this. Great music!! This needs to be on the radio!
Lucky you!
Never happen. He doesn't fit the bro country mold. Nashville doesn't take kindly to real artist who pour their hearts into real art. They want dime-dozen songs about pickup trucks, dirt roads, drinkin beers, and painted on jeans.
@@darrenthorsen593 yeah and don't forget the hip hop “country” beats lmao
Love this.A beautiful tale about love,heartbreak and the consequences of revenge.
The drum makes the song soooooo much better
God I love country music
Me too I love the stories.....keep them coming ❤
This version is the best , slow low and sad suits the song.
Like others have said it's a bummer his voice has changed a bit with his newer stuff.
That said he surly has a bright future ahead.
Sing it Johnny! ❤ Love it! 😊
How is he not famous?
Joe Rogan sent me here. He’s sending lots of people
@@giantfatbergsame
We make the wrong people famous
What are you on about ?
I live in a small NZ town and I own 4 of his vinyls
He's famous 😂
He is , most of his concerts are sold out believe it or not .
This is the best version of this song. Deep, raw, unfiltered emotion. Amazing talent.
unreal!! The guitar tells just as much of the story as the vocals!
This is a tragic song, wonderfully played.
A very young man with the soul of an old man that lived a hard terrible life.. excellent story teller.. the guitar build as his anger grows at seeing his darling Angel with another lover… just incredible.
This is a cover.
Legitimately excited to see what else this fella writes in the future. Such an intriguing artist.
What do you think now?? I think he's the greatest Country singer/songwriter toping all the classic ones, (i grew up listening to the the likes of Townes Van zadt and Ian tyson) still i think Colter is the greatest

how is his voice real??? I didn't expect this man to look so young w a voice like that
Gold🔥💯❤
Merci Colter . Love and respect from the frenchie part.
Love this song
This gives me chills
Fantastic, just love the original arrangement he had so much more
Saw Colter twice smal hall in Maberly than my bday at opera house in Toronto they were two awesome shows and good times after
I fall in love every time I listen to Colter sing, and it doesn’t matter what he’s singing.
Pure talent. Long live to you!
I try to watch this atleast once a day
Love your songs and voice!!!
I must be the only one who likes the version more than the previous one
Josh Barela not at all I think the brewery sessions were wayyy better!
Josh Barela I love it
The brewery session had alot more emotion put behind the singing, this is still great, but could have had more emotion for sure
Voice is so much clearer than Brewery Sessions.

The way the shadow covers his face after that line is foreshadowing
Colter is RAW AF !!!
Love it
Que rola tan chingona.
Guy sounds like they had him breathing sand as a kid and gargling nails as a teenager. That's an old man's voice.
That’s pretty damn good version.
I love it I bet Sean found this in his grandpa's old stuff
Damn....
...wow
There is just something about this live version....
wicked game by Chris Isaak would be a great song to cover with that voice
This is much better than the Original 16 version where he was trying to roll his voice.. I liked this..
*** although I liked the drum in the other version..
❤🤠
I would love to hear Colter's version marry had a little lamb aha
Bomb...
Who else is here after Joe Rogan podcast?
Joe Rogan sent me here. Awesome singer. Deep voice.
Yuuup!
I'm totally not into country - but this gets me.
Same
Well shit here i am finally in 2025. What an epic voice.
Bearded and talented
Giddy up
Real cowboy shit right there...yee haw
There's a fine line between romanticizing and justifying murder and pitying the murderer. This song sure Fs with your head.
Oh yeah....
Unbelievable
Reminds me of Johny Cash
I’ve seen people compare the brewery sessions to this and other live videos. I saw a comment that was the perfect way to describe brewery sessions vs others. This version seems like he is thinking back on what happened with Kate and is sad and potentially feels bad about it. The brewery sessions version feels more angry in the story telling. Both are fantastic!!
Like this? listen to "Dirty Dog"-Lost Dog Street Band
Kyle Buckland dirty dog is such an underrated song.
Fuck TH-cam for not recommending this guy years ago! I had to find out about him thru Joe Rogan
Why is their songs about her?
WHAT !
3:09 fuck anyone else up??
What is this ???
Thanks Joe Rogan for the tip
🐻🔪🖤
the video before this one on npr is way better. that one has emotion and passion. this one is as passionate as the shirt he is wearing.
watch?v=F-GvExYwpRI
Couldn't agree more!
its here watch?v=F-GvExYwpRI it got taken down and was put back up
I've tried to look for him on npr and can't find it. On you tube, right? The links donald phect posted don't work either. Anyway, I like this version, I've seen other videos of him singing this song, and maybe they're a bit better. Maybe he was just having a bad day when this was filmed, you never know.
the links do work you are putting them in wrong
Jesus...
that was beautiful man. thank you
excellent singer he is like the Kurt Cobain of Country music
"Hey Joe, whatchu doin' with that gun in your hand?"
"F U KATE MCKANNON!"
like this??? check out the felice brothers...whiskey in my whiskey
Indiana Bones I like him
While I do like the song you mentioned, I still prefer this darker sound.
As for now i am searching for a dog and a pickup truck to buy.
bro is about 50 years too young to have that voice
Wait until he hits puberty and it deepens.
Yeah he's amazing
Johny is that u…
Cash
