@@dustindearing1722 so quite a bit different then? The biggest difference between singers being their voices. And lyrics. And if they play an instrument, playing style, tuning and chord choices.

Colter Wall blows me away. This song in particular is magical. The combination of his voice, his guitar playing, and his lyrics are just extraordinary. I have not been a giant fan of country and western music, but Colter Wall has won me over. He is an incredible talent, and still so young.
@@nathandragus9931 because most country is literally just whatever music style is trending at the time with a southern accent? This however, is noticeably different
Im not much for country either but i love two versions mixed with othee genres. I like country rock and country blues which is what id call this. Im a huge blues fan
this comment is almost song worthy. Some changes: Played this for my dog He grabbed one of my cigars and the bottle of scotch Poured a neat one for me, and for him, one on the rocks
The first time I heard Colter Wall I simply assumed he was an old rugged cowboy. Then I watched his videos and I'm like I think this guy is younger than me. Low and behold I've got four years on him. Simply amazing work. I love his style and his voice is just amazing.
He's got that country look and sound, but you can also hear the blues in that sound and the lyrics. And the pain of the blues in his voice. What a legend.
He sold his soul for that voice and he's telling you about it in the song. Remember when you see the Devil for the first time don't feel fear, that just means God is real to.
The song is actually about Robert Johnson. Father of bluegrass. People like B.B. King would study RoJo because he was single-handedly the best guitar player who lived. He only recorded I believe 3-5 songs and died. Story is he disappeared for a year, came back some kind of string pickin idiot savant. Told people he sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Mississippi. There’s a whole movie from the 90’s about him and a documentary from the 2010’s
That's awesome! I'm a huge fan, from all over the US, Dad's a retired Army officer, never been to the Plains of anywhere, let alone Saskatchewan, but thanks to Colter's wonderfully illustrative powers of description, backed by the authority of that baritone and his amazing band, it all adds up to a new "old country" legend in the making, as well as the world's longest sentence. @@fangslaughter1198
Daily Cup of Justin listen man, I’m no professional musical genre specialist, I’m a regular guy who loves music, I believe that music like this should be what represents country music not the shit that comes on the radio today
That was my exact thought the first time I heard & saw Colter. Where in the sam hell is this kid hiding that voice?! After listening to a couple dozen more songs, I realized that Colter’s physical being is late 20th century, but his voice & soul have wandered the plains and ranges of North America for at least 100 years more.
Yup. Robert Johnson. He wrote a song about how he met the devil at a crossroads and sold his soul to play the guitar better. That's also where the Tommy Johnson character in Oh Brother Where Art Thou came form.
Colter is a unique blend of some great guitar players, but he’s truly one of a kind. I’m amazed when it comes to knowing when to pause (rest) and when to play. I have tremendous respect for him . He’s a great story teller.

More delta acoustic blues than country... this is really just a spin on Robert Johnson's ol' Crossroads story... even down to Highway 61 mentioned. Keep in mind, that there are points of overlap with country, blues and bluesgrass... this is one of those times. But to me? This is pure acoustic blues. To you it's 'country'... the secret is... we're both right.

@@voodoochild1975az First time I listened to this song I was like this is Death Don't have no Mercy by Reverend Gary Davis, which coincidentally it is, it's the same chords.
Since the lyrics guy failed us , here u go: "Well Reverend Reverend please come quick 'Cause I got something to admit I met a man out in the sticks A good old miss He drove a series 10 cadillac And wore cigar on his lip Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by And he said I know you I know you, young man I know you by the state of your hands You're a six string picker Just as I... I am Let me learn ya some I know a few turns to make all the girls dance Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by Foolish foolish was I Damn my foolish eyes Cause that man's lessons had a price Oh sweet price My sweet soul Everlasting My very own Eternal light Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by Well the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' As he passed me By"
It's like someone poured the musical DNA of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford into the same young man / old soul! He really knows how to powerfully do subtle inflections, both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. Less is more, especially when the right magical drops of voice and instrument are sparsely and inspirationally blended. This kid is no doubt the REAL deal!!!
Shortly after picking yourself of the floor when you hear that voice for the first time, you notice that he's a dammed fine picker too. His timing and phrasing are brutally gorgeous
been in love with the song since a bit, tried it with good heaphones volume up, almost cried, shit that song is.... getting me tears in the eyes for a hundred reasons, big love from France to Colter and all the fellas out there listening to this.
I’d say better than 100% of it. Show me anything on the radio that’s better. Luke combs is the best they’ll play on FM country radio. And he’s relatively criny pop country. A little less cringy than the rest though
Drew Harrison agreed! I was just trying to be nice allowing the 5 percent! The only thing that I hear on major country radio that is even close is Chris Stapleton. I still Like Colter more!
I was drinking water while watching this and it turned to whiskey...... Edit: I stole this from another country songs comment section lol I'm not even legal age
Been listening to over a year and a half now and although im happy Rogan spotlighted him... it never should have taken this long for Colter to blow up.
This man is the real deal! Thank you colt for being the youngest man on this earth capable of producing REAL country music. Truly this best of this generation
I'm here because joe rogan and jelly roll talked about this song. I had never heard your name ....I grew up watching westerns with my grandpa while my parents were at work .your songs could've been on the rifleman episode or any other show from that time ....u got that cowboy sound down I wish we still had shows that taught us respect .God bless u ....I wanna here your music everywhere
How have I never heard of this beautiful soul before!!!! His voice 😱😱💖💖 you don’t hear music like this as often anymore.... Y’all I’ve been livin under a rock because this is so under appreciated
So dark & stunning. The gorgeous notes that Colter freely & bravely sings around the chords, the depth in every layer including the changing rhythms to each string tuned up another note..."Rev. come quick", this boy could steal my ❤🔥
this my friends is an elite singer-songwriter with the just the right amount of 6-string pizazz with a rough-edged string buzz and stomping that simple bass drum - pure and uncut, darkly cool music. GREAT SONG!
@@mrmc101 oh snap UA-cam's top detective on the case. What evidence should I provide officer? I won't be able to sleep well if the court isn't satisfied with my comment.
Every note he’s hitting, every string he’s picking without lookin half the time, and not muting it is insane. I could never remember the notes or chords to play this.
I'm from Rolling Fork Mississippi...grew up off Highway 61. The kind of blues that I play and grew up hearing around me at the old juke joints, utilizes this style of picking. An old friend and guitar picking friend used to call my style of picking "thump blues"....playing the bass lines while playing within the chord structure....absolutely love this
None of that is really written out. It's basically just feel around his vocals... that's why these songs change a bit over the years of playing them. This guy is a genius... seriously... but it's really not a difficult song to play at all.
I played this for my granny. She got up out her wheelchair, kicked down the front door and showed back up 5 days later covered in tattoos with a 6 figure UFC contract!
The fact he was only 22 years old when this was recorded is insane
Pretty sure it was closer to 20 actually
Musical genius has no age restrictions

12

@@voodoochild1975az First time I listened to this song I was like this is Death Don't have no Mercy by Reverend Gary Davis, which coincidentally it is, it's the same chords.
Again with the Genre Pigeon Holing disease... This is just bad-ass, smokin' hot music that I would pay to see live!
voodoochild1975az it’s folk Americana
He looks like he's in his 20s but sounds like he's in his 40s and speaks like he's in his 60s damn
Underrated comment
He’s 26 now recorded this there when he was my age, 22 lol great ass sing and voice!!!
First seconds of this song I realized I'll be listening it whole week on repeat.
Whoever produced this crushed it... The camera work is great and the audio is phenomenal. If I were Colter I'd swear by this crew.
Johnny Cash straight out of the grave and looking much younger.
He has been reincarnated
he came back to save music
I was gonna say the same thing!!
Plus Canadian and 22
@@womped7171 nah if Cash is reincarnated he's out there flying Starships on the great beyond
Carl has come a long way since The Walking Dead.
Happy im not the only one who thought this
Omg hahahah 🙌🏻
God damn you dear boy! I seem to have wet myself!
This was my thought instantly!
wp! :D
Since the lyrics guy failed us , here u go:
"Well
Reverend Reverend please come quick
'Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks
A good old miss
He drove a series 10 cadillac
And wore cigar on his lip
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
And he said
I know you I know you, young man
I know you by the state of your hands
You're a six string picker
Just as I... I am
Let me learn ya some I know a few turns to make all the girls dance
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
Foolish foolish was I
Damn my foolish eyes
Cause that man's lessons had a price
Oh sweet price
My sweet soul
Everlasting
My very own
Eternal light
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
Well the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin'
As he passed me
By"
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you sir
You're the lyric guy now compadre
Thank u chap
Saskatchewan greatness right there! Sure makes this old Canadian picker proud. Stay true to your heart Colter. You’re amazing!
Legend has it those beers were actually sparkling water before he walked in
This guy is our apology for Justin Beiber.
You’re apology is approved
2020 and ppl still hating on jb
Accepted

We forgive you both for Bieber and Trudeau, that's how much we like this guy
The dichotomy between cotton field and a sharp knife is just good writing.
I particularly like the biblical resonance of, "just as I am." The devil using the name of God as Moses gives it to pharaoh is sooo good.
Strumming the acoustic
Slapping the bass
And singing the soul
This is raw music at its finest.
It's like someone poured the musical DNA of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford into the same young man / old soul! He really knows how to powerfully do subtle inflections, both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. Less is more, especially when the right magical drops of voice and instrument are sparsely and inspirationally blended. This kid is no doubt the REAL deal!!!
Shortly after picking yourself of the floor when you hear that voice for the first time, you notice that he's a dammed fine picker too. His timing and phrasing are brutally gorgeous
So many gold comments, stomach hurts from laughing, this guy is the real deal.
been in love with the song since a bit, tried it with good heaphones volume up, almost cried, shit that song is.... getting me tears in the eyes for a hundred reasons, big love from France to Colter and all the fellas out there listening to this.
Same
What's sad is luke Brian's the one on the radio...
That is sad!
Fuckin down with luke bryan. And all the other pop artists lol
Thats not country... Anyone who's even seen country can call bs on that skinny jean wearin bi.. Ill stop there.
Luke Brian can kiss my Rebel ass
what they try to pass off as country music these days is absolute garbage.
He has been smoking cigars since before he was born.
repthegr916 i was thinking the same shit. 😂. great voice though.
Either that or he's been gargling nails every morning.

In memory of Robert Leroy Johnson.
Sold his soul to the devil on country road 61 in clarksdale Mississippi.
The devil.put that deal on the house to save country
This man’s voice is absolutely unreal. If “ wiser then your years “ was a person !!!
A Million times better than 95 percent of anything else on country radio!!
I’d say better than 100% of it. Show me anything on the radio that’s better. Luke combs is the best they’ll play on FM country radio. And he’s relatively criny pop country. A little less cringy than the rest though
Drew Harrison agreed! I was just trying to be nice allowing the 5 percent! The only thing that I hear on major country radio that is even close is Chris Stapleton. I still Like Colter more!
Chris Stapleton is REALLy good but NOT better!
I want to meet the 1.5 k people that disliked this and have a sit down with them

Sounds like this, sounds like that. What this man sounds like is Colter Wall; and that's Aplenty !
We need this in Red Dead 2
I been listenin to a lot of his music while i play it lol
@@derkyderk9526 Same. It's all so good. It matches Arthur perfectly 👌🏻
Derky Derk me too. Fits too perfectly😂
Derky Derk same
Me too! Lol
Oooo blues and old school cowboy country we need more music like this. Colter walls you got a new fan sir.
Been listening to over a year and a half now and although im happy Rogan spotlighted him... it never should have taken this long for Colter to blow up.
Jesus Christ loves you u
Best song I’ve heard in the last ten years, at least somebody’s trying to keep some real music going!
This man is the real deal! Thank you colt for being the youngest man on this earth capable of producing REAL country music. Truly this best of this generation
my new born listened to this for the first time the other day now he pays my mortgage and just bought a new truck the other day
The voice that carries the gravel from the grave....
Damn what a voice.
You've got fans in Sweden Mr. Colter Wall, that's for sure😎
HOW AM I JUST HEARING THIS? This is probably the best country song I've ever heard. This man can bring back the old genre if he wanted to. holy fuck
Legend says he can tame a wild bear with just a glance
it's old, but a great line.
I heard he killed a grizzly when he told it to sit
More like Seduce
I'm here because joe rogan and jelly roll talked about this song. I had never heard your name ....I grew up watching westerns with my grandpa while my parents were at work .your songs could've been on the rifleman episode or any other show from that time ....u got that cowboy sound down I wish we still had shows that taught us respect .God bless u ....I wanna here your music everywhere
How have I never heard of this beautiful soul before!!!! His voice 😱😱💖💖 you don’t hear music like this as often anymore.... Y’all I’ve been livin under a rock because this is so under appreciated
Prolly will never hear this man on the radio -- too good for mainstream.
"the best young songwriter in however many years" Steve Earle on Colter Wall
Tyler childers
J.P. Tyler knows how to write some songs man. I put him up there with anyone. That dude is legit.
Agreed. Tyler childers is better. But this boy is still damn good
So dark & stunning. The gorgeous notes that Colter freely & bravely sings around the chords, the depth in every layer including the changing rhythms to each string tuned up another note..."Rev. come quick", this boy could steal my ❤🔥
this my friends is an elite singer-songwriter with the just the right amount of 6-string pizazz with a rough-edged string buzz and stomping that simple bass drum - pure and uncut, darkly cool music. GREAT SONG!

This kid doesn't need to change a single thing about him...hes an artist. A vocal angel, and the soul of a old blues player...amazing!!!
I am so moved by this. I cant tell you how deeply your song has touched my heart. Thank you! Come play in Lawrence Kansas!
We are witnessing an evolution here. I think his artistry will grow and I can't wait to see him develop and hone his talent. Really good sound!
His beard did grow up
Joe Rogan made me curious. This didn't disappoint.
What podcast does he mention Colter?
@@skyz6708 lots with Tom Green but he mentioned him before that.

@Michael Vloggins over four hours of drunk bs, this was best thing from it !
hey brother, pass me a link to Joe Rogan. "Its a crossover episode" :D
My 4 year old was watching this with me and started laughing. Then he said "That kid has a mustache like a grown-up!" and started laughing again.
uh huh sure
@@mrmc101 oh snap UA-cam's top detective on the case. What evidence should I provide officer? I won't be able to sleep well if the court isn't satisfied with my comment.
Bill Haggard shut the hell up you know what he said was funny you just butt hurt
Bill Haggard ass hat
@@mrmc101 I don't believe him either. 🤔 Sounds like some made up bullshit.
How do mix country,folk,blues, splash of soul all in one and can’t get enough!
Every note he’s hitting, every string he’s picking without lookin half the time, and not muting it is insane. I could never remember the notes or chords to play this.
I'm from Rolling Fork Mississippi...grew up off Highway 61. The kind of blues that I play and grew up hearing around me at the old juke joints, utilizes this style of picking. An old friend and guitar picking friend used to call my style of picking "thump blues"....playing the bass lines while playing within the chord structure....absolutely love this
None of that is really written out. It's basically just feel around his vocals... that's why these songs change a bit over the years of playing them.
This guy is a genius... seriously... but it's really not a difficult song to play at all.
I played this for my granny. She got up out her wheelchair, kicked down the front door and showed back up 5 days later covered in tattoos with a 6 figure UFC contract!
I dont know how i ended up here but dear god!! This dude got a new fan!
This whole song does something to me. The voice, the picking, the strumming and the bass step. The fact it isn't in tandem, it just lights me up
