I always wonder where his voice comes from, because its literally bigger than he is. It doesn't even look right when hes singing. Like where's it coming from for real?
This guy is 100% the best country western singer out there right now. If “take me back 100 years and tell me a story with a guitar” was a person, Colter would be him. 💪🏽
@@JSwiftBlade Ahh so you’re one of those people who thinks Chris is Western… Got it. Go learn what country music is all about then come back and let us know that we can say I told you so
Rob Farmer I mean can you not just see it in one of the cutscenes or when your traveling and do the auto travel thing with the waypoint? Makes me want to go play it right now 😂
That’s what I keep thinking of and I just discovered this dude 30 mins ago. Not even a country fan but this is chill as fuck! Can’t wait to hit a blunt with some whiskey tonight and play this while chilling on my balcony staring at the night sky! Simple life = best life in my opinion!
The pause after "found her with some other lover" where the guitar strums get louder and louder like rage building up inside the narrator is nothing short of genius. Absolutely love it
I have about 8 years of guitar/ music experience. And i can confidently say that this melody has been carefully calculated and timed. When you say "genius". You don't know how correct you are.
Just curious, have you heard of the album “ Murder Ballads” by Nick Cave? My very best friend, who is a music devotee, rates it as one of his favourite albums. So much so that when his awesome missus came along, it became an unannounced “who knows him the best” for his bday. She got him the vinyl of Murder Ballads, I got him a bottle of Maynards red wine. Funny thing is; he can listen to the vinyl when ever but we can only drink the bottle once🤷♂️ Sorry for the blog but you should check out Murder Ballads by Nick Cave👍
how crazy is it that this live version is THAT much better than the album version. This guys talent is so natural, the sound engineers for the album fucked it up. Just throw this guy an acoustic and a mic no need to do anything else
Well the raven is a wicked bird His wings are black as sin And he floats outside my prison window Mocking those within And he sings to me real low It's hell to where you go For you did murder Kate McCannon When I first met TomMcCannon I was working in the mines Said he had himself a dark haired daughter With long, green eyes And when she and I did meet She was bathing in the creek Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler That ain't no lie So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' and Every day I'd save A quarter of my pay I could buy a diamond ring Lord and one day I come home to find My darlin' angel's not inside So I made for the creek Where she and I did meet And found her with some other lover And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
Look for the old classic country singers like Johnny cash, Johnny Horton, and Marty Robbins. They’re real country like Colter, but each one has their own style.
@@ashleycutie4739 They're both baritones, that's as close as they get. Comparing Colter to Cash is quite ignorant, there's so so many other suitable vocalists to compare him to.
@@Metal-Possum he may not sound exactly like Cash but he sure is trying his hardest to..personally to me he sounds like a bull frog.. but hey if he’s finding success more power to him..👍👍
I was with my sister, and just played this clip without saying anything, the melody was fine, so she started paying attention to the video, her reaction once this guy started singing was priceless, I wish I had recorded it. We're from México btw, but I really like country music.
We had your sister as a client in a tattoo shop in Dubrovnik, Croatia. She mentioned her brother is a musician, and I was like "cool, what's his name, let's listen to something from him". I played this song from YT, and we were speechless for 5 minutes. You man rock, best voice I ever heared. From that day on, we play you every day in a shop, and when clients hear you while getting tattooed, first reaction is Shazam app :D
"Every day we play you in a shop"? "Hear you while getting tattoo"? There are many other points that I get confused at but those are just points of grammar. I'm trying to be understanding, is English your primary language?
@@sitnstill4now Still don't see anything wrong with those expressions. "Play you" and "hear you" is short for "playing your song" or "hearing your song". English is not my mother's tongue, it's third language for me, but I never had people having troubles understanding me. This is just YT comment, it's not like writing essay, doesn't have to be all proper. Where are you from and why this bothers you so much? And how come you never heared someome says it like that? 🤔
I remember being in high school with Colter, and I can’t believe he had this amazing voice hidden away all that time! Very proud of his success , good job bro!!!!
@@devilbub8709 it’s alright man. Saskatchewan itself is a very country type feeling, there’s not many people in the province and there’s a ton of farming and oil field type work. Most people in the town I lived in are super friendly and you got that small town kinda feel. I enjoyed living there as a teen, but I am happier being in a part of Canada that involves a lot more mountains now 😄
@@devilbub8709 This part of Canada is very much a rural place. Primary industries are farming, mostly canola, barley, alfalfa and such, some mining, and that’s most of it. Flat down south, slightly more rolling up north, geographically. Most places are pretty safe, so long as you aren’t on a reserve or in North Battleford or PA these days. Cost of living is very low. Taxes are relatively low. Generally conservative politics. Work is pretty isn’t hard to get, so long as you don’t mind a bit of physical labour rather than computer science or something like that. Not hard to do well here, very hard to extremely well.
@@essentiallygone7590 hell ya dude haha I used to play soccer with him and we went to the same high school. We weren’t like best friends or anything but we were definitely cool with each other!
i have to say, this COMPLETELY blows the spotify version out of the water. there's far more depth! the guitar work is incredibly expressive, the continuous bass drum has that signature colter wall feel, the vocals aren't so monotonous - they're comparatively bright even. if the lyrics were in a foreign language, you would still be able to tell that there's a story being told. the studio version is missing pretty much all of that. it's seriously making me wish these sessions were up on spotify, but it is what it is D:
Rumor has it he was born without a larynx, and instead carved it from rock and mahogany at age 5. They also say that The Stig is silent, because in 1995 he left his voice in the soul of a Canadian newborn.
some say that he's from the future, others say that he is unnaturally fond of furniture instructions, all we know is that he's called the Stig! -I am obviously not funny but I'm trying to be [also obvious]
That's country soul I've haven't heard in a long time. How can this man not be already signed. That voice is two gold albums by itself. That passion, soul and country 🔥 . Standing Ovation
This is perfect. The incongruity of his deep voice, the darkness of the lyrics, the patience in building tension in the story and that little smirk/smile at the end. 💯💯
This is one of the greatest live performances of all time, Colter is the new king of Country music. The words are unique and emotional. Country music aint about beer or trucks its always been about the stories
I agree. The stories are and always have been what really set country music apart. I will say that there can be stories about beer and/or trucks and it still be a good story that folks can deem it “country”. But yeah, a lot of the stuff nowadays just ain’t it man
Thank you. Yes, exactly. This sort of storytelling, along with Johnny Cash, was what drew me to country music. All of the “beer ballads” and trailer park anthems combined can’t compete with something as heart-moving as this. When I say “eugh, _country_ music” I’m talking about everything that steals this song’s sound without any reverence for the soul of the music itself.
@@bleugate He sounds different even in other live version, I think seeing how many of his songs are more traditional country, he changes his tone alot, obviously this performance stands out as his best.
I rarely ever listen to country music, and I'm extremely picky with it when I do, because it's not a genre I'm typically a fan of, but I heard a 10 second clip of this on Facebook, and immediately had to look it up. This is a flawless and beautiful song
How are there artists as phenomenal as this man is and not be on every "country" station in the nation... If the name of the type of music actually played the music it claimed to be then we would hear awesome music like this on them.. It's a lie to even call some of the songs they play country... Long live the king Hank Williams Jr.
I'm hearing this song for the first time. It's hitting into and through every cell into the depths of my bones and being. This is absolutely exceptionally done.
Lmfao I’ve been smokin em for a while now they ain’t changed nothing for me and I never expected em to. They just made it harder to hit notes and to hold em. Ruins your voice.
Anybody else notice that he’s foreshadowing with the beat/guitar??? “Then I put three rounds into Kate McCannon…” *boom boom boom* just like we heard in earlier verses. GENIUS
Did anyone else realize that after the last line he mentioned “...three rounds...,” and in the outro he made an unannounced and precise three drum kicks? This guy is a fantastic song writer/story teller. It only took me 4 times hearing to realizing it.😂
My best friend had a 4 runner in highschool and those three drum kicks hit the bass in that car better than any vehicle you could play this in. When those 3 hits played we would bang on the dash board so hard n go absolute nuts. I’d pay every dollar in my pocket to relive those simple times
Well the raven is a wicked bird His wings are black as sin And he floats outside my prison window Mocking those within And he sings to me real low It's hell to where you go For you did murder Kate McCannon When I first met Tom McCannon I was working in the mines Said he had himself a dark haired daughter With long, green eyes When she and I did meet She was bathing in the creek Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler That ain't no lie So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' And every day I'd save A quarter of my pay I could buy a diamond ring Lord and one day I come home to find My darlin' angel's not inside So I made for the creek Where she and I did meet And found her with some other lover And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
I can play this now and I’m still blown away. He was 21 when he did this and his playing is so effortless and perfect for the song. It’s just incredible
OH. MY. GOSH. HOLY CRAP THIS FELLA'S UNBELIEVABLE. WOW. FRICK'N IMPRESSIVE. Never heard of him until a moment ago when he came up on my Pandora. Great Scot Man. His voice damn sure gets your attention. Good Lord. Way to go Colter. Thanks for sharing your gift to the world. Infinitely appreciated.🤠
This is a fucking masterpiece .... From the voice .... To the way he strums the guitar ... From the storyline ... Starts out by telling people he is in prison already .. Then goes on to tell how he ended up there.... Then when he found her with another lover the long pause with the strums getting heavier like anger ... To the three booms for the three rounds .... Its a masterpiece... you can feel the pain with his voice ...
There is no debate. This is one of the top 10 of songs ever written from any age in humanity’s history. This song is one I would show aliens to showcase humanities musical talent.
And the way the guitar builds there, really good. only thing I add sometimes when I play is 3 whacks on the guitar body after the the line ends. It's cheesy maybe but he did something special, made real art here.
It's been 4yrs since this masterpiece was uploaded. And it's the best live performance I've ever seen put to UA-cam. Some give this man an Award or something.
My 14 year old started playing colter songs i thought id have a listen and a look i had never heard of him .. speechless! What a voice and his songs just go through your soul ..we love his music ❤️
@@pbplauralfilms What's better? look up Dave Matthews Band covering All Along the Watchtower live at Central Park. I like Colter, and this is definitely a good song, but it's not even remotely close to the best live performance ever, IMO.
He sold his soul I'm convinced having a voice thos powerful isn't just genes its forged through a life of things from a time we don't live in anymore absolutely amazing

Spicy Hummus Cocaine Blues. Early one mornin while makin the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down.
Doctors said he was born with a 5 o’clock shadow.

Well the raven is a wicked bird
His wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison window
Mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon
When I first met TomMcCannon
I was working in the mines
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter
With long, green eyes
And when she and I did meet
She was bathing in the creek
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler
That ain't no lie
So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin' and
Every day I'd save
A quarter of my pay
I could buy a diamond ring
Lord and one day I come home to find
My darlin' angel's not inside
So I made for the creek
Where she and I did meet
And found her with some other lover
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
Thank you 0:43

The way Joe Rogan’s eyes shine while talking about him . Hits on another level. Colter is a legend . The lustre of his voice is impeccable.

His voice sounds like it’s been through countless stand offs and won all of them

Just imagine Colter covering Ain’t No Grave by Johnny Cash. I can’t even fathom how wicked that would be.
that would be divine (not arguing, Just thought it'd be funny to use a contrasting adjective which had the same meaning in the context)
He would absolutely that and would love to see him cover copperhead road.
Imagine him doing “God’s gonna cut you down”
Not gonna lie I thought he was Johnny cash first time I heard him. I was very confused
Or ghost riders! I love his big iron, and feel he’d do a mean ghost riders

@@bleugate He sounds different even in other live version, I think seeing how many of his songs are more traditional country, he changes his tone alot, obviously this performance stands out as his best.
I downloaded the video then converted to mp3 just because this version is amazing.
Hot damn! That boy is an old soul with heart. Brought a tear. Thank God for him.
I rarely ever listen to country music, and I'm extremely picky with it when I do, because it's not a genre I'm typically a fan of, but I heard a 10 second clip of this on Facebook, and immediately had to look it up. This is a flawless and beautiful song
His voice doesn’t sound like it should exist. It’s incredible.
Never has he tasted a cough drop
His only cough syrup is whiskey
Colds are scared of him
How are there artists as phenomenal as this man is and not be on every "country" station in the nation... If the name of the type of music actually played the music it claimed to be then we would hear awesome music like this on them.. It's a lie to even call some of the songs they play country... Long live the king Hank Williams Jr.
Leaving this comment so my kids know i was dope af
I literally cannot listen to any other version of this song. Hands down the best, even better than album.
AMEN!
He really gets into it.
I'm with you.
Ya, this is better & SO IMPRESSIVE....he should do more kick drum & guitar solos. Powerful.
Yeah, very disappointed with the album rendition
He's the best thing to ever come out of Canada
Guess you've never heard of Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot?
Better than round bacon?
The way he plays the guitar is as powerful as his voice amazes me
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Powerful, passionate, and heartbreaking. A perfect murder ballad. I love this guy.
With no comparison at all, just out of a common love of murder ballads: Have you heard Sierra Ferrell - Rosemary?
Listen to some Chris Knight
This man is among the best at killin songs
And he kills em all
@@basstrammel1322Sierra is another great musician we have right now! Both doing fantastic things for country
@@basstrammel1322no..but I will
Anyone listening to this song still?
He’s definitely my favorite artist
Love it
Ofc. Best forever 💖💖💖
'Still'? It's like four years old... (in 2021...)
@@tonfiselier1818 idc it still slaps
@@lawdawg3740 Oh, it does. But it's not that old. Not old enough to wonder if people are 'still' listening to it.
I'm hearing this song for the first time. It's hitting into and through every cell into the depths of my bones and being. This is absolutely exceptionally done.
When JC died i was filled with regret that i had discovered him late in my life and never seen him live but this lad is unreal , what a voice
Colter Wall:
(Smokes cigarettes)
Gets amazing singing voice
Me:
(Smokes cigarettes)
Gets emphysema
Lmfao I’ve been smokin em for a while now they ain’t changed nothing for me and I never expected em to. They just made it harder to hit notes and to hold em. Ruins your voice.
The magic in his voice doesn't come from cigarettes. It comes from vocal training and his diaphragm
The comment I read in a while
Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa
@@changedpace9169 yea but it’s still funny right
1,000 dislikes from the McCannon family.
made me laugh out loud
Lmao
+5000 points for this one
The dislikes are from the lefty snowflakes because of where he comes from. He’s premier Brad Wall’s son
LOl - That's really the only thing that makes sense.
Anybody else notice that he’s foreshadowing with the beat/guitar???
“Then I put three rounds into Kate McCannon…”
*boom boom boom* just like we heard in earlier verses. GENIUS
This guy sounds better than any mainstream country singer today! Absolutely amazing!
Thats cause country sucks, but this dude kicks ass!
Did anyone else realize that after the last line he mentioned “...three rounds...,” and in the outro he made an unannounced and precise three drum kicks? This guy is a fantastic song writer/story teller. It only took me 4 times hearing to realizing it.😂
It actually sounds like he does four
The whole song has drum beats in 3s
I must have another listen now :D
My best friend had a 4 runner in highschool and those three drum kicks hit the bass in that car better than any vehicle you could play this in. When those 3 hits played we would bang on the dash board so hard n go absolute nuts. I’d pay every dollar in my pocket to relive those simple times
@@krazykarl2413 The world is your oyster.
Country music had needed someone like him again for a long time. Hard to listen to other country music after listening to him.
I’ve got colter and Chris Stapleton in my country repertoire and that’s it
I wouldn’t call this country, this is like old school western folk music
@@dillonchamberlainneed to at Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Whiskey Myers and Red Southhall
@@chrispotter3190exactly. It’s not country, your description is very accurate. It’s outlaw western cowboy murder ballads
western not country😮
Before my son died, we exchanged music ,will never be the same.
😢
Joe rogan pod with post Malone brought me here. They were raving about it and I can see why. Impressive
Dear Canada,
You've redeemed yourself after Justin Bieber.
Especially with Colter, and Orville Peck, AND The Dead South? We can forgive Bieber.
Thanks!
I don't know about all that... But I have more respect for them at least...
dear bigot, justin bieber is the biggest male pop artist on the planet with 3000x this guys net worth. go fuck yourself. from canada.
@@wade2bosh Bieber's still trash. The fact that teenage girls have awful taste doesn't change that.
Well the raven is a wicked bird
His wings are black as sin
And he floats outside my prison window
Mocking those within
And he sings to me real low
It's hell to where you go
For you did murder Kate McCannon
When I first met Tom McCannon
I was working in the mines
Said he had himself a dark haired daughter
With long, green eyes
When she and I did meet
She was bathing in the creek
Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler
That ain't no lie
So I went a courtin' Kate McCannon
Got me a job and I quit my ramblin'
And every day I'd save
A quarter of my pay
I could buy a diamond ring
Lord and one day I come home to find
My darlin' angel's not inside
So I made for the creek
Where she and I did meet
And found her with some other lover
And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
Damn so powerful!
Long green lines
Lone green eyes
Yea but did he shoot the dude? I demand kate mccannon part 2 haha
Jesus Christ loves you
First time today hearing about this guy what an crazily amazing voice for such a young man.
This song actually tells a story unlike newer country music and this man's voice is unmatched
Colter: And I put 3 rounds into Kate McCannon
Me: You gotta do what you gotta do
Colter: And i put 3 rounds into kate McCannan.
Me: What'd you do with the other 3?
@@james-heatherbailey5530
Had them just incase her lover decided he was feeling froggy ;)
The only logical choice 🤣
lol What a great thread.
Don’t question colter
imagine sounding like Johnny Cash, but looking like David Spade
Wonder where the sandman is🤣🤣
A little bit like Post Malone too
more like the country version of post malone
Don't need to look like David Beckham with a voice and musical prowess like that.
It's actually Dirte. The e is silent.
I can play this now and I’m still blown away. He was 21 when he did this and his playing is so effortless and perfect for the song. It’s just incredible
OH. MY. GOSH. HOLY CRAP THIS FELLA'S UNBELIEVABLE. WOW. FRICK'N IMPRESSIVE. Never heard of him until a moment ago when he came up on my Pandora. Great Scot Man. His voice damn sure gets your attention. Good Lord. Way to go Colter. Thanks for sharing your gift to the world. Infinitely appreciated.🤠
Just finished watching this 7 times in a row
Dude you gotta bump those numbers up Hahah it's the 2nd month for me 🤣
Iv lisind to it 11 times
This is 1000× better than the studio version.
Breweries will always have better acoustics than sound proof recording studios.
Brandon Patterson fer sure
Simply amazing. Johnny Cash and Stevie Ray Vaughn now sing as one. Beautiful.
Listening from the UK. I liked this video the very first moments I heard it. It's a true masterpiece in all respects. 10 out of 10
If this ain't a fucking mood.
Everytime he brings the kick drum back in I get chills.
Such a tune 🤩👌
Yaaaas queen. Issa mood
Hell yes!
i have the most genuine head rock when he starts that up haha
ua-cam.com/video/T8uyD9gU0ag/v-deo.html
This is a fucking masterpiece .... From the voice .... To the way he strums the guitar ... From the storyline ... Starts out by telling people he is in prison already .. Then goes on to tell how he ended up there.... Then when he found her with another lover the long pause with the strums getting heavier like anger ... To the three booms for the three rounds .... Its a masterpiece... you can feel the pain with his voice ...
Love his voice
It's a country voice
Stand up....for this country!!!
💯
Best damn, real damn blue collar song written in the past decade. Thank you ol' son for my new coming home on Friday late afternoon song.
There is no debate.
This is one of the top 10 of songs ever written from any age in humanity’s history.
This song is one I would show aliens to showcase humanities musical talent.
damn Colter sounds like he's been drinking whiskey for 40 years. Hell of a voice man.
Man that 3 rounds into Kate McCannon line got me experiencing all kinds of chills down my actual spinal column.
Jesus Christ loves you
You wanna get high?
And the way the guitar builds there, really good. only thing I add sometimes when I play is 3 whacks on the guitar body after the the line ends. It's cheesy maybe but he did something special, made real art here.
@@jesuslovesyou2616 He loves you too. Good thing cause the rest of us think you're a cocktard.
@@jesuslovesyou2616 I know
This young man is far and away beyond his years. Definitely an old soul and he's going places. The Supreme shit. Love this young man's music.
Thanks for this song J.Rogan...
Am I the only one that did not expect that voice?
Hunter Martin no holy crap this voice gave me chills
looked at him and thought what's this going to be, and then he made me stun for the whole 4 minutes..
Oh my goodness me tooo!! Love that it was different from what I was expecting. He would be a great chair tuner on 'The Voice' for sure.
I heard his songs on Pandora before I seen his videos...I pictured a much older and worn out man...very surprised.
the voice of 10 men!
Damn only 22, and sounds like he is at least 60, and barely survived a rough life...How the hell can a young man have a voice like that?
Genes
Cigars
Had the same thinking
Because you are 22 and barely made it alive...
He had to sacrifice 37 virgins and snort the ashes of the devils ex wife
Who was here before Joe Rogan?
I was here before you
Who’s Joe Ro?
The gorilla king you mean?
What about him?
I'm here because I've been listening to a bunch of live country and folk music so the algorithm brought me here
Who else got put onto this by watching JRE with post Malone & now is into this genre of music
It's been 4yrs since this masterpiece was uploaded. And it's the best live performance I've ever seen put to UA-cam. Some give this man an Award or something.
My 14 year old started playing colter songs i thought id have a listen and a look i had never heard of him .. speechless! What a voice and his songs just go through your soul ..we love his music ❤️
It's a good performance, but "best ever?"
@@johnqpublic2718it's pretty wonderful. What's better?
@@pbplauralfilms What's better? look up Dave Matthews Band covering All Along the Watchtower live at Central Park. I like Colter, and this is definitely a good song, but it's not even remotely close to the best live performance ever, IMO.
Also check out Eva Avila's cover of Great Gig in the Sky, or Dave Draiman (Disturbed) covering Sound of Silence, live.
This songwriter is already a legend at 27. I get goosebumps. Every song.
I agree 👍 💯
Imagine this voice at 50
He's just 21 in this video too
He sold his soul I'm convinced having a voice thos powerful isn't just genes its forged through a life of things from a time we don't live in anymore absolutely amazing
Can’t wait to show my kids this song. Such a bold masterpiece, and just honestly a staple for 2023
Little known fact: Colter Wall is 18 ft tall. Now the voice fits.
TO BILL BRASKEY!!!
I hear he wears a live rattlesnake as a condom.
He taught me how to love a woman and how to scold a child
I once saw him scissor kick Angela Landsbury.
He date raped David Bowie.
HUGE middle finger up to the 1.2k people who disliked this video
Here via Joe Rogan. Jesus what a voice. What a song. I’m utterly blown away. 😮😮😮😮
That’s what you call a masterpiece ✨
I've never laughed so much reading comments on a UA-cam video!
Yes, some of the best!
@@sitnstill4now
Your comment saying you liked the thread I started is what brought me back here. Now I find this comment and can't help but smile. Nothing like good music to get us all on the same page. Cheers amigo
Facts ! Lol 👍
Gonna go ahead and steal that 100th like UwU
