When Colter left his parent’s home he turned to his dad and said “You’re the man of the house now, take good care of my mom.”
Lol
😂
Made me giggle like a girl. Nice.
🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
I wonder if when Colter would cry as a baby, it just sounded like an average adult man screaming.
Its currently 12:55 AM EST and I currently cannot sleep due to being disturbed by the thought of that
Ask his dad Brad Wall, the former Premier of The Province of Saskachtewan.
He probably has facial hair as a child too
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! aww? are you hungry? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy how we got video of him playing in 1881. Good thing he has lived for so damn long
Legends never die
This made me giggle😆😆
It was a good year.
This turned my leather boots back into a cow
Best response ever!
Sooo gooood !!
😂
@@cjab111 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Give this man his 5k thumbs, FFS
If Colter Wall covered “Islands in the Stream” he’d need Sam Elliott to sing the Dolly Parton harmonies
Hilarious! Bahahaha
And now I wanna hear it 🤣😭
Of all the TH-cam comments...
This is the one that sent me.
Funny shit!!
As a Canadian, the line about Mennonites gets me every damn time
I live in Missouri, there’s hella Mennonites here also.They’re cool ass people
Saskatchewan sounds like country USA
imagine being a Martens from Saskatchewan...
@@austinchick6226 Got 'em way down here in rural Mississippi too. They are hella cool people and make the BEST baked goods at little store between Lowndes and Jones county
Lived next door to Mennonites my whole life here in North Carolina
Met this guy tonight and have to say apart from his amazing music what a humble and lovely young man. Even face timed my son to say high to him as my 6 year old son is his biggest fan. Thankyou colter and one hell of a gig . God bless you
Saskatchewan makes good people
Well I only hope Colton wants to come to Iceland and play here but I reckon that won´t happen, but I can keep on hoping ;) Love his voice and lyrics! So happy I found this young man here on YT, he is amazing! Greetings from Iceland !
That's what I love to hear about artists. Love his music that much more now.
I had the same experience, dude chilled with me and some friends at the bar after a show and then smoked with us outside. 11/10 would kick it with Colter again.
He grew up on my street in swift current Saskatchewan.
His dad was premier of Saskatchewan.
Awesome people.
I used to hate country. I thought I didn't like it. Guess I hadn't listened to enough GOOD country
right? that shit on TV ain't right
This ain't country it's Blue Grass or Outlaw Country, shoot I hate country, this is the real raw good stuff!
Kathy Abad it’s not bluegrass really. It is country, fair and square.
It's Western Folk
In what world is "outlaw country" not a subset of "country"? There's nothing bluegrass about this.
He sounds like his dad was Johnny and his uncles are Willie, Waylon and Merle. Love it! He's great live!
More like his dad was Cash, Grandpa was John Hurt, and uncle was Townes Van Zandt
👌🏻🅱️👌🏻🅱️👌🏻🅱️👌🏻
My dad was swearing that he was Waylon Jenning's son xD
NO SHIT! RIGHT!!!
If his dad was johnny then his name'd be Sue
I'm from SK. Im pretty proud of the musicians we have produced. Especially considering how small the population is!
Right!!? I'm from 'next door' in AB and I can hardly believe the talent that comes out AB, SK, and MB.
As an aside to good music, Sask peeps are awesome...who can't appreciate a Roughrider fan! lol Nothing like seeing grown men with hollowed-out watermelons helmets on their heads at football games - and I'm not even a true blue football enthusiast! Geezus, what a hoot.
@@cinders302 From Sk....the Riders are a registered RELIGION here! Take earplugs to the games ...😆
Well I was drinking water at the start of this video now it’s whiskey
Same regurgitated comment others have said again...and again....you need attention huh?
Mr.SmithGNR Smith Lol and thank you for it
Same
Between ColterWall and 'The Dead South', something good must be in the water of Saskatchewan, Canada.
Now I have to lookup "the dead south"
The dead south are terrible and fake asf..
Not to mention bubbles, Ricky and Julian 🤣
Johnny boys bones..Colter Wall ft the dead south 👍
Well the pipes are of lead in Regina, soo take from that what you will.
Just learned about this guy from a friend today. Have to admit. He's good. Real good. Nice tone. Classic sound. And sadly wholesome doesn't sell. Hope you go far young man. You're truly talented. Never sell out to the machine.
he's grown a bit since then, wholesome is getting pretty high in demand
this comment didnt age well 😂
@@Chris-wq3pe whadya mean? He still hasn't sold out, in my humble opinion. I think he's just finding the type of music he wants to make.
Pure magic. What an ancient sounding voice, right out of the 30s.
I just stumbled upon colter wall and now I can't stop listening to his music! really good singer
DustinSixx66 went and saw him,Cody Jinks, and Ward Davis in Atlanta last night. All 3 were awesome. Colter put on one hell of a show.
Lydell Stalvey I was at that show too
DustinSixx66 same here love the songs and the voice great artist
Same here
I stumbled on him last year!! This kid is the savior of real country music!!
This.Shit.Bangs.
His guitar skills lyrics and voice are insane. Every song is a hit in my book. So talented.
Toronto man here , would never twist your arm . Your music lifts me from madness in this city and soothes my mind.Gives me a break and a reason to just sit back and enjoy. Thank you Colter
My last name is Kennedy too, and also from Ontario. Big family, so who knows, we could be cousins or somethin'.
john kennedy the east has been twisting the arm of the west for 40 + years. Want to exit your Trudeau lovin shit.
Threasa Craig haha calm down
@@threasacraig402 trust me im no trudope lover
Toronto men are not made equally
This one is called "Western Canada's New National Anthem"
If you just found Colter, welcome home. Being in his 20's, we've got a sweet 50 years ahead of us, which will see me out. All is well. Take hold of your favourite poison and find a moment. It's warm, and good for the soul.
Colter is an insane mix of Cash, Townes, Billy Joe Shaver, Waylon, Willie, Steve Earle and probably a few more I'm missing. He is country to be sure but it is more that Texas singer songwriter thing than the next George Jones. Dude has the chops, the voice, and especially the songs to the next great one. He takes all his influences and jells them into something all his own and it's just too cool for school. Killer lyrics.
Dude sounds like dic Watson. Check him out if you haven't heard of him
Doc Watson
There's some Gordon Lightfoot Canadian folk in there too
throw in a little Woody Guthrie as well
close your eyes and think Don Williams as well...
OK so i heard this song on the radio a day or two ago so i tried to look it up but i couldnt spell Saskatchewan to save my life so i looked up large cities in Canada and still couldnt find it so i looked up small towns and no results, then the map of Canada and finally to find out that its a state or whatever they call it up there. so Colter if you see this i just want you to know im devoted to your music in a way like no other.
Murica!
😂😂😂😂 this cracked me up. It's called a Province by the way.
Hahaha hah this killed me. I'm from Saskatchewan and we get absolutely shunned from the rest of the country due to our lack of populous towns. Doesn't stop us from kicking ass and putting ourselves on the map. Colter is my absolute favorite since I have found him Years ago.
@@420dredog I'm an Ontario boy and y'all are making me want to move out west.
Egg don’t let the music be what brings you here because colter is the only good thing out of this province in awhile aside from the dead south. The jobs and the people are what makes it so hard to leave!! Plus cheap bills haha.
The Canadian Man in Black
Saw him in Birmingham, AL. Talked to him twice that night. He's a great guy. Just as down to earth as he can be. He's got that sound that everyone watching this video has been looking for.
wish my grandpa could be around to here country music isnt dead.
Tony Kittle, amen to that....my dad and grampaw would love it bout as much as I do!
I wish the same. I miss him but he would’ve loved ol’ colters music
Saskatchewan is the best province in the country
Alberta phase 2 😉
Lmfao. No. Just a bunch of bunny hug wearing inbred's.

LYRICS:
Mr Toronto man go away from my door,
you've got my wheat and canola seed;
you're asking me for more. Better fly before I produce my 44.
I'm just a prairie boy, never meant none no harm.
Spent my days making wages out on the Martin's farm.
No eastern boy's gonna twist my arm.
It's so damn cold out here, the wind will cut you half in two
I ain't kidding now, my old plow is frozen to my mule
I've been living off of ice cold rainbow stew
Don't be picking fights with no Mennonites
Don't be raising cane while they're planting grain and working through the night.
They're gonna let you know if you ain't acting right
Mr Toronto man go away from my door,
you've got my wheat and canola seed;
you're asking me for more. Better fly before I produce my 44.
Better fly before I produce my 44.
Thank you!
jordanfstop think it's wheat my friend, not weed. 2 biggest crops on the prairies- wheat and canola
thank you!!! i changed this now... it was wishful thinking with the weed maybe, ha ha... i do live in a large wheat/grain/lentil/garb/pulse/etc area and i can't believe i missed that. thanks again!
Many think it says "weed and cologne"
jordanfstop has
I grew up in MT, and this is the exact sentiments I grew up knowing and feeling. Colter is the real deal.
Matthew Brutosky I'm from Alabama. I lived in the flathead valley my first year out of college. It was some of the best days of my life. It's the only place I've ever been outside of Alabama that I felt at home.
i also grew up in montana! what part are you from?
squörm me aswell
East Montana feels
@@BigJon94 I live in kalispell 😂😂
Instant Canadian Legend!!!! best tunes ive heard in a long long time
It's an old American folk song called stagger lee/staggolee...he just changed the lyrics because there are a thousand versions of this song. Its so old nobody knows who wrote it. Nice try though :D
God bless America! Lol. I love this Canadian. Beautiful music
Anyone else thought he said: "you've got my weed" instead of wheat?🙈
Miss0pheliac I just realized it didn’t!!
Miss0pheliac he may have 👀
I am positive he says weed i just listened very hard.... Sound like a clear d
He is to country to pronounce the t right
I so did 😂😂
Colter should just do a live album with a guitar and voice because that's all he needs
My old plow is frozen to my mule........Best verse ever
i love the mennonite verse, made me smile. live in Lancaster pa and grew in a mennonite church:)
I live in Fleetwood.. mennonites live right down the road from me..
Im in ephrata
Haha same, live in Lancaster PA too
Leonidas.of.Spartan We have a shop in Ephrata. That’s cool
Late to the party, but Lancaster too!!
The only whistle tuned to his voice is made of sweetest brass. My favorite musician of the modern era.
What a great song! I must have listened to it a 1001 times and it keeps getting better every time.
This song is a masterpiece
This guy is a legend that is just getting started
god is love to hear hear him sing Folsom prison blues
Sandy Sykes
Me too
Sandy Sykes Tennessee Stud maybe too!
Jesus Christ! I just can't get over how good this is!
It’s hard to believe this even as I’m watching it. That voice is one in a million.
This song is a warm blanket on a rainy night
Love his easy, John Hurt style pickin' and ballad phrasing as he sends his songs out around the campfire or wherever. I believe he's a folk musician with broad and deep roots.
Similar to John Hurt... no nails.
Canadian and 22 years old, but one of the best artists in country today, blows my mind
Wtf!?!? Awesome seasoned voice and picking style for such a young man, I was raised on these type of songs around the campfire, so good to hear this from the younger breed of musician !
Just found this song, already liked it 10 seconds in and then heard he mentioned us mennonappers, new favorite song aha
Colter's voice smokes cigars
Who said Canadians can't sing .. Truly talented 👏
Nobody
@@andrea1877 thanks to Colter Wall
Knew his cousin when I was a kid. His music randomly popped up in my feed and I really enjoyed it. Finally googled him and discovered the connection. Who knew. Small world. Or um, province I guess.
I have studied quite a bit Mississippi John Hurt. I can hear the influence in colters playing style to a big degree... I am really happy I found him through the movie hell or high water. Thank God for cats like this keeping real music alive. Thanks Colter!!!!
That finger picking is not the easiest thing and he is doing that well singing very well that’s impressive
I can't wait for this guy to make it big! He's got the best sound around!
Your biggest fan in GA
Corbin Streck
Uh I don't know about that haha
I'll challenge that GA comment
Me too lol
Looks like there are a few of us in Georgia. lol
Another GA fan here. Colter doesn't sound like the mainstream country crap they are putting out these days so It's gonna be tough to break into the country scene unfortunately.
Colter.. has picked up the "Townes Van Zandt " torch and running with it.. God bless him
Like to know what key he summer wages in
I could listen to his voice for decades. Come home baby.
Wow! I live just across the border, in Montana, and this song is going to go down well here in Big Sky Country. What a great vocalist!
I usually hate and can't bring myself to listen to more than a few seconds of country music but this song is truly a great one!
Check out the rest of his stuff. I think you’ll love “Transcendent Ramblin’ Railroad Blues”
Colter Wall’s songs hit me different than any other music. Old soul
*HOLY $H!T* He is _SO YOUNG_ !
-My Mind- *Cannot* Process that he is *NOT* in his 50’s. *Young Face, Old Voice*
I'm so obsessed with Colter. I've listened to his songs countless times and they never get old.
Just heard him, for the first time, on the series Yellowstone. Man, have I been missing some great music. I'm not a Canuck, but my dad and grandpa were. Feels right at home, eh?
need more colter in my world
"No eastern boy gonna twist my arm". Haha that brought back childhood memories
Colter Wall you are the Canadian "Blaze Foley" for sure!!!
I would make a 10 year deal at the crossroads for a singing voice like that.
Recently had the pleasure of seeing #ColterWall in #Columbus Ohio. Great show! His voice is deep and smooth like velvet as he strums that guitar.
My favorite song
I live in NY, was born and raised here.
That said, this song makes me wish I were born in the country back in the late 1800's living with a colt on my hip waiting for a city boy to push me just a little too far...
Superstar voice,and guitar? Legend in the bricks
I started to learn guitar so I could play this song. Looking at tutorials, I've got a long way to go. Just shows how talented Colter really is!
hope ya stuck to 'er
song is so slow and beauitufl it's like watching a river.
So this is where the soul of music went
What a GREAT voice!
I just recently stumbled on this dude.. Killer voice, reminds me of a mix between Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash.. love his sound... this is what country music should be.
Yup, this is ace. Gonna have to learn it 🎸
Bantham Legend if you do, put a video up so I can learn it too
Quite likely!
How's the tutorial coming along! your version sounds great!
zeppelinkm I've just recorded a tutorial, will have it produced with tab by the weekend :)
Would be good to see the lyrics if you've got them :)
I could listen to this all night. unfortunately I have to work tomorrow. love this style music. makes me miss home.
It don’t matter a speck what label you wanna toss at this young hoss, that there is mighty fine music! This man represents the salvation of country music from the jaws of modern, commercial, lyrically impotent Country-Rap (C-RAP). Steve Earle so eloquently describes modern country as “hip-hop for people who are afraid of black people”. Make mine “Outlaw Country” and I reckon the genre will survive! Who needs all these “purty boys” anyhow?!?
Mr. Toronto man, go away from my door
You've got my wheat and canola seed, you're askin' me for more
Better fly 'fore I produce my .44
I'm just a prairie boy, never meant none no harm
Spent my days makin' wages out on the Martin's farm
No eastern boys are gonna twist my arm
It's so damn cold out here, the wind'll cut you half in two
I ain't kiddin' now, my old plow is frozen to my mule
I've been livin' off of ice-cold rainbow stew
Don't be pickin' fights with no Mennonites
Don't be raisin' cane while they're
Plantin' grain and workin' through the night
Gonna let you know if you ain't actin' right
Mr. Toronto man, go away from my door
You've got my wheat and canola seed, you're askin' me for more
Better fly 'fore I produce my .44
Better fly 'fore I produce my .44
Love Colt's beautiful guitar work on this one. Already appreciated his voice and songwriting. Amazing young talent.
It sounds like a rip off doc Watsons blue railroad train tbh. Still this is a great tune
Absolute talent can’t get enough of this mans music missed him when he came to the uk this year gutted
This is REAL country music
Barely passed 20 and plays guitar like Townes..
Sounds a bit like a young Doc Watson
Guitar-wise, all three play using the Travis picking style coined by Merle Travis. Doc plays various other styles such as flat picking but Townes near religiously Travis picks. Colter Wall has the same hammer on's as Townes when he makes his F shape chords. I love Townes' picking and adapted a lot of it into my own picking so hearing Colter Wall just now makes me happy believing he has as well. Also the fact that he sounds damn good!
Same with me and Townes pickin´ is very addictive to adapt. I feel i have improved quite a bit by adapting Townes style. Simplistic yet rhythmic and good on your ear.
0Imtheslime0 Blaze Foley is who this guys vibe is.
I've heard him say that Townes was an influence
This is the next life that I see myself living if I get through this one.
1 million views that makes my heart happy.... this young man is the real deal!! Man real country music right here!!!
i keep coming back to this song.
July 3rd in Dallas! Outlaw Music Festival See u there Colter 🍺🍺
My God! How is he great, but unknown!
Brilliant. People will remember the name Colter Wall 100 years from now. You bet your bottom dollar they will.
Better fly 'fore I produce my .44. Mmm. A mama's boy, and a man's man. Love it.
Legend has it he's smoked two packs a day since he was three
Joni Mitchell was from the same province and she did the same thing.
Colter why....... why did you have to give us this beautiful song which is not on the track list for your new album? Guess I'll have to listen to it exclusively on TH-cam now. But seriously I haven't been this excited for a new album in a long time
Seriously though... I'm super pissed it isn't on the album. I'm hoping he plays it in concert this Saturday lol. I yelled for Tyler Childer's to play a certain song at his concert and he played it right after, so maybe I'll have to do the same thing. Haha
It'll be on his new album "Songs of the plains"
Evan Siebert 10k likes just for that commenttttttt
@OhLeahlRea Mayne, but I screamed for Devil Wears A Suit and Tie at Hardly Strictly and he didn't play it. He played 13 Silver Dollars right after. Lmao. It was a good time though.
@@Camromulus hahaha really? I yelled for "Saskatchewan 1881" and he did the same thing as Tyler and played it right after that Haha. What a killer! I was also 2 people away from him and 3 people away from Tyler. So close proximity might have helped my favor lol I see Tyler again two times in November. so stoked for all the new songs!!!
I didn't make it as far as Saskatchewan in my trip to Canada earlier this month, but I had this and many other of his songs on my playlist while on long bus rides from Calgary to Alberta and back. Listening to his sage old man's voice while I looked out the window at the rolling prairies and cragged mountains really brought it home for me.
amazing. can't wait for more incredible stories from you. Godspeed Mr Wall. just unreal!!
Mr Toronto man
Go 'way from my door
Thx!!!!! Trying to figure that out ...you made my day....mr toronto man
I cant be the only person that thought he said "You got my weed and Canola seed" I'm glad I watched him actually sing it because I was confused at why the guy from Toronto wanted his canola seeds.
he does say canola seed. canola oil is made from rapeseed which is grown in mass in SK . Canola seed sounds a lot better than rapeseed
i dont want this song to end its so damn good
this is the coolest thing I have heard in a very long time, fantastic!
This ain’t country, it ain’t outlaw, it ain’t blue grass or folk.... it’s fucking MUSIC... real fucking music.
I get the feeling this song is gonna become a bit more relevant thanks to recent events.
I’m in love with this voice!
This is so great. I hear some Mississippi John Hurt guitar nuances and a ode to mule skinner blues. On my 50th listen or so! Now! 😂
