But it helps to understand the root of the song and how it came to be some 70+ years ago by our previous generation and the times they lived. Stan Jones is the guy who wrote it, and also Ghost Riders in the Sky. Over the years other great singers covered it: Eddie Arnold in 62, Glen Campbell, Hank Williams Jr, etc. Colter is in good company.

      He can only hit those notes when he uses the falsetto technique, it’s basically the voice a guy would use to imitate a girl. Literally anybody can do this with their voice no matter how deep, but it takes a skilled vocalist to hit the notes obviously. He definitely can’t hit these notes with his regular voice, which is normal for someone with that deep of a voice.

      Saw him at Codfish Hollow by Maquoketa IA last fall. Outside the barn, my wife (Bren) and I moved by one of the fire pits occupied by two others in an attempt to soak in a little warmth before the show. I noticed a group making their way to our location, anonymous to the throngs passing by. Up sauntered the young star of the night, one Mr. Colter Wall and his band sans the bass player. I recognized him immediately, offered a hello and a thank you for playing at such a small unique place. He in turn offered a handshake and thanked us for coming out to see him. For 15 minutes we talked about his music (of course), other songs, the bizarre venues he’s played and even Cormac McCarthy (a fav of both of ours). Then, I asked for a picture of him with Bren (and me) and he graciously obliged. The pose and flashes alerted others who finally recognized him and the picture taking began in earnest. After satisfying everyone who wanted a picture he thanked us again, told us he’d see at the show then shook my hand again as he left. Polite, humble young man, Canadian nice, discernible intelligence. 23 years old at the time??? Wow. Lyrics reminiscent of Townes Van Zandt meets the Man in Black with the vocal rumblings of John Lee Hooker, several octaves below Gordon Lightfoot with a cold. My guess is countless singer-songwriter wannabe's would surgically augment their vocal cords to croon for the notes Colter Wall gained by birthright. What a great show.
