Colter sings opening line *looks away in disbelief* Everybody watching: “Oh yeah man, I remember that feeling” Like a drug I swear; I remember hearing him for the first time on “devil wears a suit and tie” like a cigar filled whiskey lounge
I love Saskatchewan in 1881. Never saw somebody recommend it in a comment section, I thought I was the only one who loves it so much lol. Do you know "motorcycle" by colter wall? Love that one too.
Sleeping on the blacktop is pretty good as well. Possibly his most successful song. Cowpoke and his cover of Big Iron by Marty Robbins are very good from his new album
I cannot wait to get into more of Colter's stuff. I'm going to be heavily reviewing him throughout August. I think the thing is, with any country song there is an element of storytelling - but specifically with people like Colter and Tyler... They make it effortless.
Southern country music has came back to my heart. I lost my ear for it in the early 2000s because it sounded too poppy or commercial, but these past five or six years we have had some great artists come about.
Reaction done right. No fucking around, no random pauses, no flashing sponsors or merch, just a guy looking to, listening to and reacting to a good song. Good on you mate, got my sub.
I’ve been listening to country now for around three years and I’m still at the start of my journey. Colter Wall is an artist that just wouldn’t get promoted in the UK for whatever reason, I haven’t heard an artist like him. He’s unreal. I’m checking out another of his tracks this week.
What's amazing about this is that its just him a backwards kick drum a old ass jangly ass guitar and a capo this is the dark arts this is black magic I didnt know they had voodoo in Canada
It's genuinely INSANE that Colter possesses this sort of song writing ability and musical dynamics at such a young age. I can't even comprehend what he'll be doing in his 40's.
When I first heard Colter it was through audio only. So, when my husband (who showed me his music) told me he was only 23, I was taken by surprise. I thought he was at least 60! He's not just talented or has a good voice. There is a soulful depth in his multidimensional voice quite reminiscent of Johnny Cash. I'm a die hard fan now, just like for Cash. Oh! And of course, the story telling (lyrics) in his songs combined with that voice, makes the songs instant masterpieces.
Great reaction! I saw when it hit you both the story and the tempo. I had the biggest reaction coming home one day with music up high and it really highlighted how he orchestrated it to swell with intensity and make it sound like his heart beating out of his chest after his crime of passion. He is pretty brilliant with his artistry.
I like that he just listens to the song and discusses the song after, 'cause most reaction videos they pause the song every five seconds and its really irritating, I'm just like "LISTEN TO THE SONG AND SHUT UP" but he made this video in a very satisfying way. Nice video man, keep up the great content!
I'm guessing by now you've listened to many other Colter Wall songs and have found what a great songwriter and storyteller he is. Talent like this that masters a genre so well only comes from an artist who is authentic. Colter is a real deal country boy. A prairie boy from the big sky country of western Canada. It's wonderful to have this level of authenticity and raw talent out there to counteract the manufactured crap the big labels are shoveling out for public consumption. Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, bluegrass bands like the Steel Drivers and artist like Billy Strings may have saved purely American genres of music that seemed to have been lost to a bunch of genre-confused, bubblegum pop, white-boy hip hop, and boy-band crap trying to claim to be country music. A bunch of regurgitated, slap-track,, oversampled noise with a twangy voice thrown in there to woo the 16-22-year old suburban girls who's pretty little $500 cowboy boots have never stepped in anything dirtier than the sticky floor of the food-court at the mall.
I'm just discovering him and it's so interesting to watch others have the experience. I think that the weird thing is that we don't normally hear songs with varied tempo and the amount of rise and fall. I personally love it and I'd appreciate mainstream music being more varied.
Man i love the storytelling and colter is a badass when it comes to it. Check out his song Fraulein with Tyler Childers. Beautiful. I have recently found John Moreland and he has the same feel. Check out “blacklist” or You don’t care for me enough to cry. Keep it up!
I have only listened to your video and this great piece couple hundreds of time...and you still have the best reaction...."need a heads up..." just excellent.
Cheers bro. Got another Tyler reaction dropping on Tuesday. I’ll run Tyler Tuesday throughout June/July and then switch to Colter Wall Wednesdays for a month 😉 sound good?
His other songs from this session are brilliant as well and of his new stuff; Bald Butte, big iron, cowpoke and Wilddogs. He is an incredible storyteller.
Appreciate that brother! This channel will always focus on the lyrics mainly and how they're applied to melody. It's such a powerful genre for songwriting.
Saw him for the first time at Floore’s in Helotes,TX 4 years ago opening for Margo Price. He so impressed me and I couldn’t believe hardly anyone was paying attention to him
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be getting on Sturgill Simpson next week. But for now, we have another Tyler reaction on Tuesday, and Uncle Lucius on Wednesday that you might enjoy.
You will be happy to know Colter is dropping a new album soon! He has already leaked some songs. Happy to see the bluegrass/western music being shown. I’m about to watch your Tyler Childers video next! If you want to continue on this new age of American (Canada included) Bluegrass/Folk/Western artist reaction trip I highly recommend Willie Watson. Mexican Cowboy and Gallows Pole are very good picks. Cheers
Another great song Colter dose is "Bob Fudge" this is a Ian Tyson cover. It is another great story tellers song about the old west. His ability to grab your attention and hook you along his journey is a real art.
I wish the first time I heard him I watched the video to have that shock of seeing a small young man with that huge voice of a 50 year old man thats been siting an a porch for 30 years drinking bourbon and smoking sugars
It's amazing to me how his voice makes people not listen to the lyrics lol He says he kills her... and then everyone reacts to the last line as if in shock lol The man's voice is just 🤯
I have NEVER heard a voice like his. I know he gets compared to Johnny Cash a lot, I'm just glad we get to be a part of his journey! Just so we can say 'I was there'
Thats a “murder ballad”... its a genre in folk/country music. It’s powerful. Waylon Jennings “Cedartown, Georgia” Willie Nelson “red head strangler” Johnny Cash bung the king of them with “ boy named sue” , “ i hung my head” , “ the long black veil” , “cocaine blues” Nick cave with a whole album named “ murder ballads”
Still remember in 16, standing at the Nashville Palace to see Shooter, this dude cussed me for being in the way with a handful of food and beer. I grabbed him later that evening after the show and shook his hand and he asked, how the hell do you know who I am? Just told him I dig his music. Wild who you see in the crowd in Nashville.
So now, I’ve seen you have done videos on Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, and Sturgill Simpson, I’ve got two other ones for ya. Corb Lund “Bible on the Dash” or Turnpike Troubadours “Diamonds and Gasoline” both are amazing story tellers and you might enjoy them!!!!
The power of a simple melody, and a story well told. Colter is the only thing of substance in country/western music at the moment. He will be a legend.
I read a comment on another channel that speculates the 'I put three rounds into Kate McCannon" line implies that he killed the 'other lover' first. I kind-of had the same impression. With the extreme economy of words Coulter Wall uses in this song, every word serves a purpose, and the 'three rounds' reference is very specific and comes at the apex of the song. If he was 'working in the mines' as a casual this has to be a historical ballad and in the time period he likely would have been carrying a six-shooter revolver. That he killed the other guy apparently doesn't bother the conscience of the character telling the story, to the point he doesn't feel it's necessary to even mention it, only that he killed Kate, the love of his life, and that is the personal hell he has to live with.
song should be included in music curricums tought at schools. The song covers several musical basics. The way he uses his instruments to pull you in, dictating the listeners feeling,almost like adding a second singer. Colter Walls voice alone stops your heart. Not one bad thing about this video or the song. Everything in sync and all contributing the story.
That was a great reaction. Although you said you were caught up in Colter’s vocals, your comments about the Raven being the “dark side” of the inmate showed that you truly got into the lyrics and story of the song. Well done sir. If you are looking for a Colter Wall song that has great story telling depth Do a reaction or listen to his Bald Butte Here is a link of Colter’s live performance of Bald Butte. th-cam.com/video/0FyXOxikGO8/w-d-xo.html. Again thanks for your reaction. Larry Schmidt
Cheers Larry! I try and keep them as organic and real as possible. Colter had me in awe and it’s so difficult to not skip ahead and listen to more, but I’ll save this for the channel! More colter wall will come soon!
The 94 Club Your reaction of Kate Mc was of Wall when he was around 19. The link I sent you (above) is a few years later ... so you will see some progression. “Bald Butte” is a great story. I won’t say more, so as to not mess with your “reaction” but the song IMO is historically accurate
8:07 - 8:16 is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while.
Had me dead and idk why lmao
No pun intended
That was funny as hell.
Haha much love all. I’ll try and make sure I keep that light hearted side alive in the reviews!
Thank you very much for the laugh.
Funny thing I know is Paton for electric cars being made in India stealing from the gov n selling things you dont own now that's funny to me
Always funny to see people react to colter for the first time, wish i could here him for the first time again
I have this feeling with new artists and new movies! Such a special feeling. I think we take those moments for granted sometimes!
My reaction - :0
I feel the same way!
Lord tweedsmuir? Clayton heights kid here haha funny seeing ya in this random comment section
Brock Martin Brady what a crazy coincidence, wow. Small world i guess
Colter sings opening line
*looks away in disbelief*
Everybody watching:
“Oh yeah man, I remember that feeling”
Like a drug I swear; I remember hearing him for the first time on “devil wears a suit and tie” like a cigar filled whiskey lounge
This is the truest comment I’ve seen on TH-cam especially the last part
Yeah man, that first “Well!!!!” made do several double takes
He was 19 yrs old when he did this live set. It is wild.
He’s 26 rn and in 2017 when he first performed it, he was 22
@@fuzzsings33 when he recorded the song he was 19 and when that video came out he was 22 so ur right
He was at least a year or two younger when he wrote this. Unreal isn’t it
It's a murder ballad. He talks about that in several of his interviews. It's kind of a lost form of story telling. But very powerful.
It's elemental.
"The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie" is another really amazing song of his, along with "13 Silver Dollars" and "Saskatchewan 1881".
Yessss. Colter Wall Wednesdays is happening soon. So I’ll make sure they get added to the list!
I love Saskatchewan in 1881. Never saw somebody recommend it in a comment section, I thought I was the only one who loves it so much lol. Do you know "motorcycle" by colter wall? Love that one too.
Also Caroline
Sleeping on the blacktop is pretty good as well. Possibly his most successful song. Cowpoke and his cover of Big Iron by Marty Robbins are very good from his new album
Bob fudge….
Every song he sings is a story.
I cannot wait to get into more of Colter's stuff. I'm going to be heavily reviewing him throughout August. I think the thing is, with any country song there is an element of storytelling - but specifically with people like Colter and Tyler... They make it effortless.
I've known Colt for a while he's amazing. Also, "Dude I think Kate might be a bit of a bitch" crippled me permanently
Appreciate you enjoying the review. A new one from Colter dropping tomorrow. Let me know your thoughts on that one!
😂😂😂😂 best part
I'm always jealous of people who hear Colter for the first time.
I wish i could hear him, Tyler Childers, Sturgal Simpson, and Chris Stapelton for the first time again. Every day
Southern country music has came back to my heart. I lost my ear for it in the early 2000s because it sounded too poppy or commercial, but these past five or six years we have had some great artists come about.
What’s wild is, colter is Canadian! He’s a cold blooded story teller!
John Moreland, Jason isbell.... You're welcome
Reaction done right.
No fucking around, no random pauses, no flashing sponsors or merch, just a guy looking to, listening to and reacting to a good song. Good on you mate, got my sub.
Been listening to colter for about 4 years now, great to see everyone switching on to him. Dripping in talent!
I’ve been listening to country now for around three years and I’m still at the start of my journey. Colter Wall is an artist that just wouldn’t get promoted in the UK for whatever reason, I haven’t heard an artist like him. He’s unreal. I’m checking out another of his tracks this week.
Him at the beginning, "idk maybe its a letter to a girl or its about a girl."
Me yea boy its about a girl. 🤣
It's rare to find someone who enjoys good country music, especially someone who's not from the U.S keep up the incredible work my friend!
What's amazing about this is that its just him a backwards kick drum a old ass jangly ass guitar and a capo this is the dark arts this is black magic I didnt know they had voodoo in Canada
It's genuinely INSANE that Colter possesses this sort of song writing ability and musical dynamics at such a young age. I can't even comprehend what he'll be doing in his 40's.
When I first heard Colter it was through audio only. So, when my husband (who showed me his music) told me he was only 23, I was taken by surprise. I thought he was at least 60!

Great reaction! I saw when it hit you both the story and the tempo. I had the biggest reaction coming home one day with music up high and it really highlighted how he orchestrated it to swell with intensity and make it sound like his heart beating out of his chest after his crime of passion. He is pretty brilliant with his artistry.
You know it’s good when you just let him tell the story, fav reaction so far
I like that he just listens to the song and discusses the song after, 'cause most reaction videos they pause the song every five seconds and its really irritating, I'm just like "LISTEN TO THE SONG AND SHUT UP" but he made this video in a very satisfying way. Nice video man, keep up the great content!

Great reaction 👏
Nothin by Colter. It's a cover of a Townes van Zandt song. Amazing.. one of the best songs I've heard..
I saw someone comment on another Colter Wall reaction that "Colter could smoke a salmon by just talking to it." Lol
I'm just discovering him and it's so interesting to watch others have the experience.
I think that the weird thing is that we don't normally hear songs with varied tempo and the amount of rise and fall. I personally love it and I'd appreciate mainstream music being more varied.
subscribed. glad ya heard colter wall do his thing. check out his other stuff. it's all great.
Man i love the storytelling and colter is a badass when it comes to it. Check out his song Fraulein with Tyler Childers. Beautiful. I have recently found John Moreland and he has the same feel. Check out “blacklist” or You don’t care for me enough to cry. Keep it up!
All over John Moreland for next week! I’ll check this one out!
Fraulein is the reason I call Colter Wall and Tyler Childers the Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson of today's country music
Colter smoked the ashes of Johnny cash and I can’t help but to watch every one of the reaction videos that’s on my recommended list . Love this guy
Awesome reaction 👏🏻
this guys has the best reactions, such a small channel with high quality reactions, a high quality camera, etc. new subscriber.
Thank you so much brother! This means a lot. Happy New Year Devin!
First time I hear him I had the chills
I got real uncomfortable listening, which is actually a nice feeling!
I have only listened to your video and this great piece couple hundreds of time...and you still have the best reaction...."need a heads up..." just excellent.
Man your love for music is so apparent. Subscribed. I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos and finding some good music. Peace
Awesome reaction brother. We need more Colter and Tyler Childers reactions!
Cheers bro. Got another Tyler reaction dropping on Tuesday. I’ll run Tyler Tuesday throughout June/July and then switch to Colter Wall Wednesdays for a month 😉 sound good?
The 94 Club add in some Billy Strings and Marcus King and you can almost have a full week!
Haha, I love that Richard. I’ll do that one week for sure!
The 94 Club that will be a good week. Lol
This type of song is called a murder ballad. Bandit Clovis by Tyler Childers and Rosemary by Sierra Ferrell are 2 other great murder ballads
Jhheeze. A murder ballad. Well, it makes sense for sure! Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm going to do my research!
And if you want an old school murder ballad listen to porter wagoners the cold hard facts of life.
It’s banded Clovis not Bandit Clovis. It’s a reference to arrowhead hunting but I agree it’s a great song.
Dont like it
Sorry
Banded clovis*
Great reaction! You might try his "Sleeping on the Sidewalk"
"that voice took me off guard" - everyones first reaction to hearing Colter Wall lol myself included
His other songs from this session are brilliant as well and of his new stuff; Bald Butte, big iron, cowpoke and Wilddogs. He is an incredible storyteller.
More Colter is coming this week. Then I’m looking at weekly Colter tracks throughout August. I’ll be sure to check these!
9:00 doggo in window oml so cute
Still can't believe he was 19 when he recorded this
Thanks for the reaction.
Gave your 750th like. I'm from this neck of the woods West Virginia USA and it was really awesome seeing your reaction. Much love.
Thank you so much brother!!
Great reaction mate! Catching that crescendo in both lyric and music is something a lot of people miss! Keep up the great work!
Appreciate that brother! This channel will always focus on the lyrics mainly and how they're applied to melody. It's such a powerful genre for songwriting.
I am going down a Colter rabbit hole right now. Might I suggest the White buffalo - the whistler for you mate..
Saw him for the first time at Floore’s in Helotes,TX 4 years ago opening for Margo Price. He so impressed me and I couldn’t believe hardly anyone was paying attention to him
Jolly good reaction Club. Coulter kind of grabbed me by the short hairs as well. More to come.
Bro, you're expanding my vocabulary with each and every comment. I'll have my country cred in no time at all!
You're very insightful I enjoyed your video keep it up
Nice. Great reaction!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be getting on Sturgill Simpson next week. But for now, we have another Tyler reaction on Tuesday, and Uncle Lucius on Wednesday that you might enjoy.
Re watching this I really feel your almost speechless
You will be happy to know Colter is dropping a new album soon! He has already leaked some songs. Happy to see the bluegrass/western music being shown. I’m about to watch your Tyler Childers video next! If you want to continue on this new age of American (Canada included) Bluegrass/Folk/Western artist reaction trip I highly recommend Willie Watson. Mexican Cowboy and Gallows Pole are very good picks. Cheers
Another great song Colter dose is "Bob Fudge" this is a Ian Tyson cover. It is another great story tellers song about the old west. His ability to grab your attention and hook you along his journey is a real art.
I love how highly covers are valued in country music. It seems like a sign of respect to those that came before... I can't wait to hear it.
The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie by Colter Wall is phenomenal as well. Give it a listen.
100% - I’m holding off listening to anymore until I record them for the channel!
Dude your reaction right off the rip, only tells the story of a man that is attention orented. Good video for sure
This is a great reaction to this song
When I saw Colter live with Cody Jinks, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
i love that their is artists making murder ballads a thing again. if you havnt yet, check out the" whistler" from the white buffalo
You should definetely do more reactions of Colter's music .
I wish the first time I heard him I watched the video to have that shock of seeing a small young man with that huge voice of a 50 year old man thats been siting an a porch for 30 years drinking bourbon and smoking sugars
Nice video bro. The fact that you keep your capo on while not using your guitar scares me tho
"Dude I think Kate might be a bit of a bitch"
Lol golden. Love the reaction!
Haha, I know it seems kinda weird commenting on a classic style of music with modern language. But it's fun!
I lov3 Europe ❤
that was a neat song
It's amazing to me how his voice makes people not listen to the lyrics lol He says he kills her... and then everyone reacts to the last line as if in shock lol The man's voice is just 🤯
Colter is a whole different breed!
I have NEVER heard a voice like his. I know he gets compared to Johnny Cash a lot, I'm just glad we get to be a part of his journey! Just so we can say 'I was there'
Kolter Wall = Straight mans Adelle
Thats a “murder ballad”... its a genre in folk/country music. It’s powerful.
Waylon Jennings “Cedartown, Georgia”
Willie Nelson “red head strangler”
Johnny Cash bung the king of them with “ boy named sue” , “ i hung my head” , “ the long black veil” , “cocaine blues”
Nick cave with a whole album named “ murder ballads”
Still remember in 16, standing at the Nashville Palace to see Shooter, this dude cussed me for being in the way with a handful of food and beer. I grabbed him later that evening after the show and shook his hand and he asked, how the hell do you know who I am? Just told him I dig his music.
Wild who you see in the crowd in Nashville.
I can imagine brother. Especially if you're big into the indie scene, these guys can rub shoulders with any of us.
Another good murder ballad from a criminally underrated artist is White River by Kaitlin Butts.
Saskatchewan, three silver dollars, etc. Many good tunes.
Colter Wall is a honest enough singer/songwriter/musician that I truly believe he was released from Prison just to sing this song. I am a believer!
Man, I never realized that Colter is Brad Wall’s son. That blew me away.
*****carries on****...So Punchy!
"Murder" songs are a Country Music traditional theme that goes back before the US was colonized.
Tyler Childers Nose to the grindstone and Feathered Indians
Could you please do "Colloquy" by Whiskey Myers? Truly one of the most heartbreaking songs ever made.
So now, I’ve seen you have done videos on Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, and Sturgill Simpson, I’ve got two other ones for ya. Corb Lund “Bible on the Dash” or Turnpike Troubadours “Diamonds and Gasoline” both are amazing story tellers and you might enjoy them!!!!
Turnpike Troubadours are hitting the channel next week for sure! Corb Lund - I'm thinking I can fit in the week after!
The 94 Club I like the sounds of that man! Keep up the good work!!!! I’ll be sticking around to see how you enjoy them and others!!!
The power of a simple melody, and a story well told. Colter is the only thing of substance in country/western music at the moment. He will be a legend.
I read a comment on another channel that speculates the 'I put three rounds into Kate McCannon" line implies that he killed the 'other lover' first. I kind-of had the same impression.
With the extreme economy of words Coulter Wall uses in this song, every word serves a purpose, and the 'three rounds' reference is very specific and comes at the apex of the song.
If he was 'working in the mines' as a casual this has to be a historical ballad and in the time period he likely would have been carrying a six-shooter revolver.
That he killed the other guy apparently doesn't bother the conscience of the character telling the story, to the point he doesn't feel it's necessary to even mention it, only that he killed Kate, the love of his life, and that is the personal hell he has to live with.
The dead south is another great band
Check out William Elliott Whitmore and his song Diggin’ my Grave
Here's one, What kind of man, by Tennessee Jet.
song should be included in music curricums tought at schools. The song covers several musical basics. The way he uses his instruments to pull you in, dictating the listeners feeling,almost like adding a second singer.
Colter Walls voice alone stops your heart.
Not one bad thing about this video or the song. Everything in sync and all contributing the story.
I hac
d the exact same reCTION AT HIS VOICE
Where do I find your intro music
You should check out Cody Jinks - David. :)
All over that one!
It tells a sad story.
Big iron.
Best story telling in any era
Diamond rio “ no where bound”
He needs to do the devil wears a suit and tie if he hasn't already
just subscribwd to your channel did you see our TV show today
I haven't seen it. How do I tune in?
Colter Wall is the fvcking truth.
Everyone loves a good murder ballad.
Yay murder ballads! Make em a thing again
Cross the pond and see him live.
What’s that song in the intro?
Being a women in a country song has to be the most dangerous job in the world I tell ya
It's called a murder ballad. And they are more common in bluegrass.
Hey ya marry the prettiest girl in Appalachia, it likely ends up as a murder
"...dude, I think Kate might be a bit of a bitch."
Love you . Hah.
The one good thing about getting alzheimers is that you could rediscover Colter every day
That was a great reaction. Although you said you were caught up in Colter’s vocals, your comments about the Raven being the “dark side” of the inmate showed that you truly got into the lyrics and story of the song. Well done sir.
If you are looking for a Colter Wall song that has great story telling depth Do a reaction or listen to his Bald Butte Here is a link of Colter’s live performance of Bald Butte. th-cam.com/video/0FyXOxikGO8/w-d-xo.html. Again thanks for your reaction.
Larry Schmidt
Cheers Larry! I try and keep them as organic and real as possible. Colter had me in awe and it’s so difficult to not skip ahead and listen to more, but I’ll save this for the channel! More colter wall will come soon!
The 94 Club Your reaction of Kate Mc was of Wall when he was around 19. The link I sent you (above) is a few years later ... so you will see some progression. “Bald Butte” is a great story. I won’t say more, so as to not mess with your “reaction” but the song IMO is historically accurate
