- Western AF presents Noeline Hofmann
...
Friends and neighbors, Miss Noeline Hofmann. Cowgirl, songwriter, biggest heart on the prairie, has written a song for rancher resilience. Her early years of working in the plains of Alberta as a ranch hand near the Saskatchewan river was such an inspiration to her that she couldn’t keep these beautiful songs locked up. While dealing with the everyday hardships of being a cowhand, Noeline listened to the stories of her co-workers and bosses. Expressing the everyday gambles and trials of working the land. That’s where “Purple Gas,” the anthem or love note to ranching culture, was born. A song that will live in infamy with the hope that it never becomes a lament for the most under-appreciated job in the west.
Thank you to Maggie Geis for helping us produce this piece and being our Canadian production wrangler in a land we barely knew.

"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.
Wowza, between her and Colter Wall, the prairies of Western Canada are saving country music
Yeah no kidding!! Colters the best!!
Zach Bryan , Sturgil and myself. Are keeping it down here in the US
Don't forget about Bella White! Criminally underrated.
Her and Kade Hoffman just opened for Colter in Missoula. It was awesome.
This version is the best. You can hear the soft, earthy tones that make her voice so unique and relatable.
We couldn't agree more!
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.
Soft, earthy tones? This is a woman’s voice not a wine tasting. Calm down.
100%. I always say "Every song has a best version and that version is this version..." Another WAF gold bar.
Definitely get the same feeling as when I caught Colter for the first time in 2017. On the verge of generational-legend status haha
"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
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
I saw her in a songwriters circle at CCMA’s a couple weeks back .. as truly gold as ZB is .. she is magic. ❤
Big love for hometown Canadians making a name for themselves in country music ❤️
LETS GO GiRLS
She deserves the same recognition that Zach getting
You missed the point of Zach helping her.
Thank you sweet child of mine for teaching me patience and having faith! Guns Roses Forever and Always
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.
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.
Yep. That’s true.
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. 😂
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.
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.
@@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.
If you aren't Canadian you just don't understand them meaning of pumping PURPLE GAS
@@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.
@@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
So good!!! I would love to hear a duet with Colter, just a couple folks from northern Montana lol
Oh wow, this hit my soul and I'm not even a prairie boy.
She and Colter Wall needs to do a song together ASAP
i approve of this message
@@WesternAF ❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully one day we’ll see that on Western AF!!!
This is beautiful. God made a farmer…… 💚💚💚💚
Westeraf recordings are always better that studio recordings. Change my mind
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.
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
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!
We saw her play it live for the first time in Montana this summer! Beautiful and haunting.
So good!
in northern montana?😹
Well done! I didn't realize Canada had the same thing we call red dye diesel, or off road diesel here in the US.
I like when her Canadian accent slips through. Swoon!
what? how...we sound like complete hosers lol
Her comments on montana being southern alberta feels like a callback to colters cowpoke video.
Yeah it really does!! 🤣
Music like this heals the soul.
Amen
The note she hits at 1:50 legitimately brings a tear to my eye.
Oh girl, I hope you get all the recognition you deserve.
LOVED her opening performance for Charley Crockett in Montana. Thanks for coming to Great Falls Noeline!
Such an honest old soul, molded by the land.. makes me proud and nothing else beats being a prairie kid.
It really is a love letter to the prairies that I too love so much. Just over here crying cuz I just feel it. Every word, every note, perfection.
So fine...., thank you Ms Hofmann, and thank you Western AF!
yer welcome amigo
Wow, I'm not a country music fan but I'm a big fan of this young ladies work/music!
This girl is like magic, her voice and soft guitar playing has me in a trance. Love her style too!
She’s the real deal
Oh, more of this, please!
Saw her live in support of the mighty Charley Crockett in Montreal. Amazing show & artist!
Beautiful. I swear I heard "rural brazilians" when she said "resilience". I was already like "who summoned us?" God bless 🇧🇷🇨🇦🇺🇸♥

Oh definitely, between her and Colter, country music is true country music now.
I love your giggle at the end Noeline! 💜

This Alberta boy can’t stop playing this song in all of its versions. Nolene is just amazing!!
That’s a flawless audio recording and an epic backdrop for listening to this plaintive and beautiful song.
Thanks amigo. Canada got it all
I like this version of your song. Especially the commentary and take you have on life, work, and the values you acquired from your Folks, Family, and Friends. How I wish more people have your perspective on life and living ! Keep up the superb Country Music making and all my best wishes to you Noeline and the Musician's you create with. From: Steven in America's Dairyland WI.❤
I can attest her voice is amazing live. I got to see one of her first solo performances in USA. She had the crowd fully engaged was amazing to see!
I get big June Carter vibes from her voice wow she’s amazing
That was beautiful
Brilliant- the song, the cinematography and such beautiful written lyrics💟✨

You stand next to, or second to, no one, Noeline. Truly, a beautiful song.
Amazing song. Thank you for making this available.

Caught her at Laurel Cove and she is the Queen of Sad. See her live if you can.

Going on tour with Wyatt Flores this year. Can’t wait to finally see/meet her 🤠

I can't wait for this to be available on Apple Music!
Her voice is 11/10 beautiful ❤
Thank you!!
Stateside we call it off-road diesel and it's dyed red. Got to say when I heard this on the new Zach album, I thought some purple gas was the only relief you got and the plate was your rolling tray. 😂
One more beautiful discovery !
Beautiful
Holy fuck. This is amazing. The first works. Just 👌🏻👌🏻
I absolutely love the Gibsons tone.
Awesome ! Gotta find more of your music. Hope you’ll play some of the cowboy gatherings etc. in the states. Yup WAF!
So good. Keep drivin on.
