@@contrafax there are several very good musicians currently they are only unknown. I can even cite some that I hear Jake Smith from The White Buffalo, Benjamin Tod from Lost Dog Street Band, Glen Hansard, Foy Vance, Uncle Lucius, Tyler Childers, Ben Caplan, Kim Beam, Chris Staplaton, Whiskey Myers, Turnpike Troubadours, The Steel Woods, Cody Jinks, Larry Fleet and many others that I don't know yet
man i just wanna say, im a wildland firefighter, and on those days when the mountains to steep for the saw, or the flames and smoke are taking the wind out of me, your music reminds me why i love my job, and will always continue to fight fire till the day im dead. Bless this man, and whatever inspired him to curate these amazing stories. You can find me on a fire somewhere, sharpening chain, and listening to this man tell his tales.
I'm not from North America, I haven't worked the land, I've never been a cowboy or a ranch hand, nor can I pull off a Stetson, but Colter's music strikes chords in my soul.
Music unites us all. I’m a 14 year old cowboy/ranchhand, and I’ve rode and roped in Illinois for 3 years, Wyoming for 2, and now I’m on down to Arkansas with my family until I turn 18. Then, I’ll be back in Wyoming on the desolate plains driving cattle the way it should be. I won’t make a lot of money, barely enough for a living, but I wouldn’t rather have it any other way. I was recommended to listen to Colter by a couple friends who said I sound not unlike him, as I have a quite deep, howling voice, deeper than the average man’s already.
And this is just you in your pickup truck out in the middle of the country. Now that's how you record a proper damn song. That's a damn fine single, Sir.
He's in front of a green screen. You can see definitely at about 1:20 when something falls in the windows behind him but doesn't show in the space above the outside of the truck.
Colter really has that desperado feeling that all the old country greats had and yet still holds originality. He will surely be one of the greats of our time.
He really doesn’t, he needs to stay just where he’s at. His inspirations are from his environment and leaving that environment would ruin the soul he sings from
@@lordbob1364 Haha, You would love my songs then.....my friends don't even know my name. Click the picture and check it out. Pink Floyd plus Waylon plus JJ Cale= Travelers of Myths
I blasted this when both my grandparents passed. They showed me love has no bounds. Both tough as hell but caring for those they met. My last word to them I’ll see you next time. I was never ready. Rest in paradise my angels. I promise we will see each other again. Fly high to the kingdom of god.
“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie” These words came slow and mournfully From the pallid lips of a youth who lay In his dying bed at the close of day “Oh, bury me not...” and his voice failed there But we took no heed to his dying prayer In a narrow grave, just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the owl of night hoots mournfully And the blizzard beats and the winds blow free O’re his lonely grave on the lone prairie And the cowboys, now as they roam the Plains For to mark the spot where his bones were lain Fling a handful of roses o’re his grave With a prayer to God for his soul to save
I found the extended lyrics, which I think makes the story better. I wish he would have sung it instead. Oh well :) . O bury me not on the lone prairie These words came low and mournfully From the cold pale lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day He’d wasted time til upon his brow The shadowed clouds were gatherin’ now He thought of his home and his friends so nigh Oh the cowboys gathered to see him die I fancy I’ll listen to the well known word Of the free wild wind and the song of birds He thought of his home and the cottonwood there And the songs her learned in his childhood hour I often thought I’d be laid when I die In the old churchyard by the green hillside By the side of my father let my grave be O bury me not on the lone prairie O bury me not on the lone prairie Where the wild coyotes may howl over me Where the buffalo roams and the winds blow free O bury me not on the lone prairie I want to be laid where mothers prayers And sisters tears will mingle there Where friends will come and weep over me O bury me not on the lone prairie O bury me not and his voice fell there We heeded not his dying prayer In a narrow grave just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie We buried him there on the lone prairie Where the buzzards fly and the wind blows free Where rattlesnakes rattle and the tumbleweeds Blow across his grave on the lone prairie
His voice brings me back to old westerns from the 60's and 70's, a time I never lived in. You can say that guys like Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Midland, and Jason Isbell are all keeping traditional country tunes alive. But Colter's sound goes back even further than theirs. He sings like an old cowpoke with a dip in. No other country singer out there has the western feel and sound that Colter does!
A lot of folks said Old Country Music Died but when I hear people like Colter wall Benjamin Todd and all those young singers and songwriters who still play Good Old Country folk music sometimes Mountain Music I'm young but I grew up listening to Hank senior Hank Junior Waylon all them good ol boys and it makes me feel good that my son's sit here and listen to music like that with me and that I could live in an era that still has heart and soul in its country music
Saying this as a 17 kid from Ontario. While I probably won't work a farm or ranch in my life, I love being out in the country. Not like some typical bs City slicker shit, but I genuinely love the quiet, peaceful nature of it. While it'll probably be decades before I can buy a property to get away from most of the hustle and bustle of the city, Colters music gives me that same feeling I get out in the country. For that, Im grateful for discovering his music a couple years back. 🇨🇦
This reminds me of the old country road songs my dad used to listen to...music like this makes me miss my dad. I lost him 4 years ago....this song makes me feel closer to him.
I hear ya!My old man died 15 years ago, and music just seems to keep that connection strong. It's also a fantastic way for his grandchildren to learn about him.
I just learned today that this is a cover. Colter Wall seems to have this amazing ability to take songs that few have heard and almost none in a long time and do them so well they might as well be his. God bless this gift to country music, best voice in all of country in my opinion.
I love these haunting old school country songs. I love colter wall so much, his voice, the songs he chooses to cover, and even his original songs are so good it’s almost unbelievable. It’s like I’ve been standing my whole life and have just taken a seat. A cigarette for the soul.
I would like to certify Colter Wall a big deal. This man has talent beyond fathomable thought. He has truly saved the real sound of thia generation and its a shame he isn't more recognized.
Every time I listen to Colter Wall, it feels a cowboy from 1890 is singing straight to me. Stuff that ease's a lonely soul after a long day of blue collar work making peanuts
Recorded in a truck and sounds better then any music today. Your voice is unbelievable. First time I heard a song by you I got chills. Gotta go buy some of your CDs since my aux broke in my truck!
Can you not see the great expance of the rolling plains…? Feel the wind on your face…? The words of this song takes me back to a time we will never get to witness. An era we will never experience. This is the words of a dying cowboy, not wanting to be forgotten. It’s a good reminder to preserve the west and that western spirit the best we can else it too be forgotten
That is exactly the truck I imagine you would drive. With all your success, I imagine you would could buy a new one, but this old truck has a lot more character. Been a fan a long time and I have bought all your tunes. I hope to see you play live one day. Thanks for all the great music brother
It's Britney Twitch I agree. He could do the whole damn soundtrack. Its funny that RDR2 is gonna be released this month and he just released this song. Hopefully he'll at least do a song or two on the game.
alexander soto yeah,I know its on the first red dead soundtrack. I was just saying that its kinda a coincidence that he's doing his rendition of it,just before the red dead 2 release. A lot of Colter's music would fit well with red dead.
My favorite thing about this guy are all the flaws in his performances. They're aren't necessarily "flaws" but I don't know what else to call them. Either way, they are the signs of an absolutely truthful performance. There ain't a thing about Colter Wall's music that you could call fake. I don't know of many artists today that can say the same and I for damn sure don't know of many other artists of his age that can deliver such a performance w just a mic and an Acoustic Guitar. Dude is a legend.
Just when I think Colter couldn’t get any better, he’s singing and playing in a Dodge pick-up. I owe this man many a drink if I’m ever lucky enough to meet him! What a shame we never get to hear ‘outlaw country’ on the radio.
You speak from your heart, you play from your soul. You understand the isolation of ones self. Those who choose to appreciate the song do not understand. I hear your soul in voice and guitar, I appreciate you as an artist of music. I pray for you and hope your believe and trust in god as I do. God bless your path. -One of Gihon
Oh okay, weirdo! Lol! No but seriously...a little creepy, James. Might wanna take it down a few...dozens notches. Like on the handle of your machete, perhaps?! Lol
@@HSTMachine shake graves is good too, and so many others but right now I pretty much only listen to Colter and Tyler. Also really into shovels and rope and the civil wars. So much talent and only a few of us know and appreciate them. It's sad that mainstream music isn't good and good music isn't mainstream
Yeah, you have a real ear for this! You should be a social media talent scout! You’re the best! Surprised we haven’t heard of you...like EVER! Get over yourself ya clown! 😂
This is country music at it's absolute finest, purest, truest...this young man blows me the hell away, his voice is everything you ever wanted in a country boy, like graveled velvet. He got something that the others just don't have. Hands down my favorite country voice, of any era, ever.
This is what you become when you're raised on Art Wallman's Tractor Line CKSW 570 AM! Only us in Southwest Saskatchewan will understand that reference.
Beautiful song.... incredible talent right here! THANK YOU..... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! The cowboys lullaby... like Dixie land to us southerners... very sad but very deep ..God bless all!
Anyone who doesnt have him in their top 5 country artists, i just cant respect. This has to be one of my favorite songs hes made too, and i always like the live recorded versions better than the studio edits…cant make something perfect any better than it is.
When my wife and I first heard this version of the song we both thought Colter Wall must be some old cowboy singer in his eighties. What a surprise to see this guy who could well still be in his twenties! Great version of this old chestnut!
I heard someone wanted to get an interview or some thing with Colter but couldn't reach him cause he was off working on a ranch somewhere. We could use a shit ton more of that in country music these days
Hello brother. Look at the sun, it is so far away, it rises each morning. Feel the wind, look at the dirt, the trees, and the trash. Look at yourself, look at others. Listen to music, listen to silence. Feel the heat, feel the cold. Free will brother. Do not be beaten into forgetting you have it. Move along, as will I. Goodbye
I don’t EVER remember those days. Just a truck and some wide open spaces, huh...?! I’m all for less is more pal but I’m not cuckoooo! I’m gonna need a little more than a rusted out ole pickup truck and a shit covered field in the middle of Nowheresville!
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 If you've never taken your truck to the far end of a large tract of land and parked it to enjoy the solitude... or brought a good woman with whom you have a deeper connection, feeling at that moment that you're the only 2 people on earth, then you've missed out my friend. It's moments like those that nourish the soul
I guess nobody else is gonna say it. This man is so talented that his music videos are simply of him sitting or standing while performing. He lets his music do the speaking, as all artists should.
My favorite thing he's done on UA-cam is Kate mcannon the Brewery sessions that version of that song with just him and the base drum on his heel is haunting. I wish I had a way to have that version on a recording.
Same here! All of the Brewery sessions songs are beautiful and those are the best versions of them. And this base drum on his heel! Haunting is a very exact word for it. I just can't get enough of that sound. I linked that video to all of my friends and family. So into his music right now.
Wow!!! What a voice! I love country music. I do have to say, I've learned to speak the English language through country music. Back in the 90s when, I got divorce at age 19 and at that age I had 3 children and on my own. A Mexican/American young woman with 3 children raising them on my own, I heard my first song of country music, I still can remember that song and fell in love with it. That song was, "Shut Up And Drive" with Shelly Wright. I cannot believe I learn to speak English. God bless you Sr. for singing this song. You have a great voice and keep on going. May God bless you always. Best of luck. I like this version.
I remember this was the first song I heard by you back in June of 2019 and I keep coming back to this video sine this was the video that introduced me to your music. Not a day goes by where I don’t listen to any of your songs and you were one of my top artists I listened to on Apple Music in 2021. You have definitely came a long way in the last 2 1/2 years since I discovered you and I can’t wait to hear your new music.
Was it?! Was this REALLY the way it was meant to be, DREW??! As if that’s even your REAL name anyhow, ya phoney! You make me SICK! Lol! No but seriously 🤮
It's good to hear this young artist covering some of these old classics. I don;t imagine many of his generation ever heard some of these. Heck, we grew up singing these songs in school when we were kids. I'm in my 60's.
Brock Lesnar mentioned on Steve Austin's podcast about how great this guy is, so I thought I'd check him out. Listened to a few songs and not disappointed. This is great music!!
Songs like these and music like this in general makes me question all the bullshit i do in my life and gives me the feeling that i belong in another side of life. Strong, solidary, simple, all those things resonate with me but the world today is such a shit storm i dont see the path to get to that side of life
This dude sounds like he's lived three lifetimes and he's still in his 20's. Amazingly talented.
yeah feel the same
Jesus loves y'all
I know right
Great observation.
Saskatchewan will do that to you
This guy is a legend, it's a privilege to live in the same era as Colter Wall.

This is what I like about him, he doesn't sing about trucks and dirt roads, he experiences it.

Colter really has that desperado feeling that all the old country greats had and yet still holds originality. He will surely be one of the greats of our time.
Colter you need to be about 200x more popular then you currently are
Popularity ruins everything, which is why I can't listen to mainstream country anymore.

Exact same with me. Plus I listen to this almost everytime I play rd2 online
The RDR1 version is from William Elliott Whitmore, a great singer with the same style as Colter Wall

“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie”
These words came slow and mournfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
In his dying bed at the close of day
“Oh, bury me not...” and his voice failed there
But we took no heed to his dying prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the owl of night hoots mournfully
And the blizzard beats and the winds blow free
O’re his lonely grave on the lone prairie
And the cowboys, now as they roam the Plains
For to mark the spot where his bones were lain
Fling a handful of roses o’re his grave
With a prayer to God for his soul to save
One of the saddest and oldest stories to be heard story of the taken youth who never had a chance to live.
1 like short of my birthday.. I was 213
I found the extended lyrics, which I think makes the story better. I wish he would have sung it instead. Oh well :)
.
O bury me not on the lone prairie
These words came low and mournfully
From the cold pale lips of a youth who lay
On his dying bed at the close of day
He’d wasted time til upon his brow
The shadowed clouds were gatherin’ now
He thought of his home and his friends so nigh
Oh the cowboys gathered to see him die
I fancy I’ll listen to the well known word
Of the free wild wind and the song of birds
He thought of his home and the cottonwood there
And the songs her learned in his childhood hour
I often thought I’d be laid when I die
In the old churchyard by the green hillside
By the side of my father let my grave be
O bury me not on the lone prairie
O bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the wild coyotes may howl over me
Where the buffalo roams and the winds blow free
O bury me not on the lone prairie
I want to be laid where mothers prayers
And sisters tears will mingle there
Where friends will come and weep over me
O bury me not on the lone prairie
O bury me not and his voice fell there
We heeded not his dying prayer
In a narrow grave just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie
We buried him there on the lone prairie
Where the buzzards fly and the wind blows free
Where rattlesnakes rattle and the tumbleweeds
Blow across his grave on the lone prairie

My buddy said it best today, Colter Wall is so young that we're going to get to hear him for a long time! God willing
This guy has been the best find I've made on youtube. Fantastic artist
He and Tyler Childers are my two favorites at the moment
Have you come across Shakey Graves?
@@HSTMachine shake graves is good too, and so many others but right now I pretty much only listen to Colter and Tyler. Also really into shovels and rope and the civil wars. So much talent and only a few of us know and appreciate them. It's sad that mainstream music isn't good and good music isn't mainstream
Yeah, you have a real ear for this! You should be a social media talent scout! You’re the best! Surprised we haven’t heard of you...like EVER! Get over yourself ya clown! 😂
I lived in NE Montana long ago, looks so very similar. Love it. Thank you ;)
Imagine Colter playing Wayfaring Stranger
Baptiste Denis
That would be absolutely wonderful
or further on up the road
Jack Rose YESSSS
Hayde does my favorite version of that song. Check it out. Colter would be a version I’d like to see too
I'll wait for it patiently
This man is a outlaw now but he will be a legend one day
This is so deep! Does anyone else feel his words? Especially while drinking?
Yes, some songs. However Blaze Foley is closer to the heart while drinking, such amazingly tragic and beautiful songs he have.
One must whiskey while listening to Colter
@@Cloudriveband Yes! Cheers! 🍻
Weirdo
This is country music at it's absolute finest, purest, truest...this young man blows me the hell away, his voice is everything you ever wanted in a country boy, like graveled velvet. He got something that the others just don't have. Hands down my favorite country voice, of any era, ever.
Amazing! You sing these old songs like you wrote them. So much depth. Just amazing.
This is what you become when you're raised on Art Wallman's Tractor Line CKSW 570 AM! Only us in Southwest Saskatchewan will understand that reference.
Beautiful song.... incredible talent right here! THANK YOU..... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! The cowboys lullaby... like Dixie land to us southerners... very sad but very deep ..God bless all!
Pull yourself together
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 for what? Why would I need to pull my self together for loving a song lol 😂🤨
Anyone who doesnt have him in their top 5 country artists, i just cant respect. This has to be one of my favorite songs hes made too, and i always like the live recorded versions better than the studio edits…cant make something perfect any better than it is.
This dude was born to make music
When my wife and I first heard this version of the song we both thought Colter Wall must be some old cowboy singer in his eighties. What a surprise to see this guy who could well still be in his twenties! Great version of this old chestnut!
This has gotta be on an album. One of my favorite songs and this cover is honestly the greatest I've ever heard.
Amazing and perfectly fitting to a sad lonely sick dying young cowboy or anyone in pain or suffering prayers Amen ❤
This song on Spotify would make me happy.
It’s not all about YOU!

Have bought two of his vinyls so far, one limited edition. Gives me a chance to pass his name on, as well as his music. Great Saskatchewan artist
Keep it up Colter! I love your music and I spread your name to everyone I speak to about music!
I heard someone wanted to get an interview or some thing with Colter but couldn't reach him cause he was off working on a ranch somewhere. We could use a shit ton more of that in country music these days
The best version I've heard!! Incredible!!! I wish it was available on Spotify 😢
Hello brother. Look at the sun, it is so far away, it rises each morning. Feel the wind, look at the dirt, the trees, and the trash. Look at yourself, look at others. Listen to music, listen to silence. Feel the heat, feel the cold.
Free will brother. Do not be beaten into forgetting you have it. Move along, as will I. Goodbye
That truck makes me reminisce about simpler days when all we needed was open spaces and a solid old truck to get us there...
I don’t EVER remember those days. Just a truck and some wide open spaces, huh...?! I’m all for less is more pal but I’m not cuckoooo! I’m gonna need a little more than a rusted out ole pickup truck and a shit covered field in the middle of Nowheresville!
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 If you've never taken your truck to the far end of a large tract of land and parked it to enjoy the solitude... or brought a good woman with whom you have a deeper connection, feeling at that moment that you're the only 2 people on earth, then you've missed out my friend. It's moments like those that nourish the soul
@@busbystandup1337 nourish ‘deez nutz’
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 That's your mom's job
It’s prolly my fav and idk why but damn I love it please put apple
this talent comes once in a lifetime, we are truly blessed to have a voice such as this
I never thought I would hear country like this anymore. I'm glad I came across this!
Pure skill in his storytelling and fingerstyle 😁👍
I guess nobody else is gonna say it.
This man is so talented that his music videos are simply of him sitting or standing while performing. He lets his music do the speaking, as all artists should.
My favorite thing he's done on UA-cam is Kate mcannon the Brewery sessions that version of that song with just him and the base drum on his heel is haunting. I wish I had a way to have that version on a recording.
Same here! All of the Brewery sessions songs are beautiful and those are the best versions of them. And this base drum on his heel! Haunting is a very exact word for it. I just can't get enough of that sound. I linked that video to all of my friends and family. So into his music right now.
Just to let you guys know it’s on iTunes
And you can find sites that pull songs from youtube to download
Keith Henson I like sleeping on the blacktop the brewery session
Jordan Glynn But that doesnt support young talent that like this that needs support.
21 years old but has put in overtime
I had a '73 Country 100. 4X4. Loved that truck....
Wow!!! What a voice! I love country music. I do have to say, I've learned to speak the English language through country music. Back in the 90s when, I got divorce at age 19 and at that age I had 3 children and on my own. A Mexican/American young woman with 3 children raising them on my own, I heard my first song of country music, I still can remember that song and fell in love with it. That song was, "Shut Up And Drive" with Shelly Wright. I cannot believe I learn to speak English. God bless you Sr. for singing this song. You have a great voice and keep on going. May God bless you always. Best of luck. I like this version.
That was nice :)
I remember this was the first song I heard by you back in June of 2019 and I keep coming back to this video sine this was the video that introduced me to your music. Not a day goes by where I don’t listen to any of your songs and you were one of my top artists I listened to on Apple Music in 2021. You have definitely came a long way in the last 2 1/2 years since I discovered you and I can’t wait to hear your new music.
I'm already halfway there and nobody cares . Thank you for your song
Anyone who don’t like this, their last name is probably McCannon.
Nice.
Or they're a FGL fan.
Those damn McCannon's.
Damn McCannons
Colter lore
Imagine working with him all day on the ranch and then getting to hear him sing these songs around the campfire in the evening.
Beautiful Music, I don't think I've come across a single song from you that I haven't liked.
Well, I can't listen to the album version of Kate McCannon after seeing footage of him playing it solo... apart from that, I agree with you!
Operator except for that wverything thst he does solo is better
Ewwww! You shouldn’t be comin across nuthin Eric Strokerson! Gross! Lol
Once in a lifetime, one of a kind Talend. Listening to your music every single day.👊🏼
Great version, and love his voice. Keep em coming!
Johnny cash's version of this song has been my very favorite for my whole life, i cant believe i didnt know colter sang it too. Stunning ❤
A good old Dodge and mighty fine music. The way it was meant to be
Was it?! Was this REALLY the way it was meant to be, DREW??! As if that’s even your REAL name anyhow, ya phoney! You make me SICK! Lol! No but seriously 🤮
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 a great example of a nice Christian Conservative man…. Oh wait.
@@levicuevas7302 Like I care what YOU ‘think.’ 🤣🤣🤣
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 I think it’s people in general think
It's good to hear this young artist covering some of these old classics. I don;t imagine many of his generation ever heard some of these. Heck, we grew up singing these songs in school when we were kids. I'm in my 60's.
I lie awake in my bed at night listening to this song. This world has broken me. But I have found refuge here.
I've been listening to his music for months, never would have thought this guy looks like a kid.
He prolly never woulda through his fans were simple dummies! Yay! Bahahaha!
Please make this a digital single or something so I can listen to this wherever I go. It's so damn good.
If you have an android just copy the link and use a UA-cam to mp3 converter on Google. I use flvto.
Johnny cash has it in a recording 👍
@@jakeyouell7180 Fantastic tip. I new knew about that. Thanks
@@jakeyouell7180 dude. You just changed my life 😂 thank you!
I've had this song on repeat all day after discovering it last night, i ride a motorcycle for a living and this is such an open road kind of feel
This is going right into the playlist! SWEET!!
thinkin that too
Spent a lot of time around Speedy Creek growing up. Still have many cousins living there.
Really enjoying your talent!
Brock Lesnar mentioned on Steve Austin's podcast about how great this guy is, so I thought I'd check him out. Listened to a few songs and not disappointed. This is great music!!
I'd Brock listens to him he just went up a couple notches in my book!
That's why I looked him up too.
Never thought Brock Lesnar would listen to something like really old styled country
Thank you Joe Rogan for introducing me to Colter WAll music. Love it brings shivers all over.
Anyone who thumbs down this artist likes to listen to Keith urban😂😂😂
Songs like these and music like this in general makes me question all the bullshit i do in my life and gives me the feeling that i belong in another side of life. Strong, solidary, simple, all those things resonate with me but the world today is such a shit storm i dont see the path to get to that side of life
The fact that he’s sitting in a classic dodge truck playin his gtar is amazing
Is it?! Is the fact that he’s sitting in a classic Dodge truck playin his ‘gtar?’ just AMAZING to you??! Simple putz! 😂
