    Saw John play 3 different times at the Ryman a few years back, great songwriter, great entertainer too. My brother turned me on to Colter and as a starving artist myself (cause I just can’t bring myself to play today’s so-called “country music” I’m thinking of just giving music up. Cause if ya ain’t at the right place at the right time & don’t know the right people...well that explains why I’m a starving artist haha. I digress, keep it up Colter, ya give me hope that truly good music ain’t dead yet.
    Still pissed that the goddamned virus killed Prine though, at least I got to see him at the mother church in Nashville a few times.
    Seems like a lot of singers are dying from covid, compared to actors etc...which is a damn shame. Not that I want anybody to get sick and die with it but just seems like it’s especially hazardous for musicians.

    • @CowpokeCannoneer
      @CowpokeCannoneer 5 років тому +15

      Bob's a nerd the thing about colter is that this voice seems so, restricted now. Like he’s not projecting it like he did. That’s why he was so damn mesmerizing to everyone when he first was getting some recognition. He had this boisterous and haunting voice that echoed. Kate McCannon and the Devil wears a suit in tie are the prime examples of him being something that no one has ever seen before. It’s eerie, dark and low. But sounds beautiful. I’m really down for more of the western style music. But I REALLY don’t want his voice to change. His deep and gravely voice still fits it. Like an old western coal miner/ cowpoke. Still love him. Just want his voice to stay like it did

    lots of comments about how his singing style has changed- loved his early stuff but this new more country style is great - he has moved to Nashville and I think they have convinced him to move to a style that will make him appeal to more people - still loved his old style with that twangy guitar and kick drum and deep gutteral vocals

      That makes me sad that he moved to Nashville. It taints unique country talent.
