Just to take on the songs he chooses to cover is ballsy, but then he sets the bar (maybe in a bit different direction), but the emotion etc etc is there. Evertime. Awesome to listen to this lad and his old/buzzing guitar. None of this is an accident. It's a package that can transport you. The amount of work that he has and does put in to his art is humbling. Thank you, sir.
Colters cover of this song has what Townes had when he sang this song. Its some that other covers of this song dont seem to have. And thats feeling you can feel the sadness and pain in both Colter and Townes voice that makes their music sound so much more real
Well sung Colter..I sat for a half an hour with Townes and rapped about songwriters and his songs too..it's on Ytube called "TVZ at "Madigans" Brunswick Melbourne Australia..it was six months later Townes left us way too soon..Adios TVZ..cheers Colton from Australia mate🙋
Pedal Pusher My thoughts exactly.The Tanyas had a special sound all their own. Anyway I discovered this prairie boy a few months ago. Reminds me of home I suppose. Salut
I tend not to like covers of this song even by bands whose music I love. This is so different then the original but somehow captures almost perfectly the haunting cancerously depressing feeling of Townes doing it.
Look up the chords and then get some hammer on fills in there. Should probably learn travis picking too. Best way to learn these songs is to get the basics and then do your own thing
My papaw was born on Hell For Certain around the Leslie/Clay Co. line in southeast Ky. Dunno if that's what W. B.'s shirt is dedicated to or not though lol. I need me one of em shirts though.
what picking pattern does he use? It seems a little different from Travis when he uses his hammer- ons. Does he use this pattern in another one of his songs?
oh my god I've listened to Colter for years and never heard this!!! goosebumps.
He has a cover of Mr mudd and mr gold as well .
I know right?!?! Honestly brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it
sad walk a mile
Ya Townes van zant was the shit
I want a Colter cover of every Townes song lol
No shit hey?? I am a new Colter fan and an old Townes fan. Just found this tonight. Fn awesome!!
cover of the hole please
I'm willing to bet he knows all of them...
There should be a cover album of townes songs by colter wall, lungs , snake song , spider song , St John the gambler, the list is endless!!!
@@alexandrMGr8 it would be so awesome!!

This kid gives me faith in music again.
A new Cash!!
@Balls and balls it's like if every outlaw country singer had a baby together
Can’t imagine anyone doing a better version than Colter Wall’s. Beautiful. Genuine. It suits his mournful style.
This and Benjamin Tods version are 🔥
@@adamwarnock2929 Ben absolutely owned this song. I wish there was a higher quality version.
imo the good be tanyas have the best cover
The Lost Dog Street Band version is my absolute favorite. But this is a close second.
Townes was the man. No contest. But colters version cuts me to the bone..
Check out Whitey Morgan's too.
Lost Dog does an INCREDIBLE cover of this song.
What a MAGNIFICENT rendition, goodness Colter presents as a Demigod of outlaw music.

Isaiah Williams miss carousel is the greatest song Van Zandt ever wrote. I honestly feel emotions verytime I hear it
Whitey Morgan's cover is amazing as well!
Check out The Devil Makes Three cover of the song as well :)
Its like Colter absorbed the soul of every dead blues and country artists

Wow. I already love CW but this was extra special. Beautiful rendition
I love this
yes sir Colter has that voice I can sit and listen to all the time
Wow that is raw as it gets in my opinion! Great job
Very nice of Colter’s guitar skills to let his amazing voice sing back up on this timeless cover
This Young Fella is so "Real", what a breath of fresh air!!
J...
Townes, Colter and Pabst Blue Ribbon. The perfect trio
Amen to that, brother
Can’t get over the beauty!
Colter Wall and The Be Good Tanyas have the best covers of this song I've heard.
Pedal Pusher My thoughts exactly.The Tanyas had a special sound all their own. Anyway I discovered this prairie boy a few months ago. Reminds me of home I suppose. Salut
did you hear the one made by Lost Dog Street Band?
Your heart is on fire Colter 🔥🍄💕🤗
wonderful, you can feel the blues
another month or so and I'm still living out this song
hope youre doin well brother
The devil that wears a suit and tie led me here. I sold my soul to find the best musician alive, he held up his end of the deal.
Pure and Amazing. Cant get enough.
A special talent for sure!
He's so talented.
Townes would be proud. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
love the show, and Colter is probably the best cover for this
Have you heard Lost Dog Street Band's version? Unreal.
Branden Martin I've heard it but Colter always chills my soul
Trying to see whos version is more pleasing to my auditoey senors.
All y’all need to hear whitey Morgan’s cover of it
Great stuff Hallo from Berlin germany
I tend not to like covers of this song even by bands whose music I love. This is so different then the original but somehow captures almost perfectly the haunting cancerously depressing feeling of Townes doing it.
Much love!
Dang wb I didn't no this was out there. This needed to out there
Townesvandzantian at heart and Walltist by conviction.
Townes lives in all of us ...
Love this song and your version is great!
wow.... so dang good
This was a good find tonight
God bless Colter Wall
Never thought I would say this but this might be better then the original. I love towns but you can't deny that voice
Great stuff!
The music speaks for it's self and it is fucking great.
Sounds like the man in black here...this is singing with your soul, not your voice. Devil makes 3 did a fine turn with this as well.
Cheers brother
I hear this song so hard.
wall for president
Great Colter, thanks!
Good stuff.
Fuck my life this guy is just to good man. What a natural!!!! Can't wait to catch him and my buddy BDB together
i wanna hear him cover our mother the mountain
Cl
Olter wall is so close to my name.i consider him a Wallin. Love you bro
Somebody needs to post tabs of this cover asap
Look up the chords and then get some hammer on fills in there. Should probably learn travis picking too. Best way to learn these songs is to get the basics and then do your own thing
This is my fav version of this song.
It even rivals Townes version.
It’s like I get to hear a more
Badass version of Cash cover it.
no
It’s damn good, but Colter is not “a more badass version of Cash” and this ain’t better than Townes’ version. Settle down.
@@Switchlift Yes he is and yes there is.
@@mr.mayhem6755 okay mr mayhem 😂😂
OMG that was good.
No one can top the Lost Dog Street Band cover but this is damn good.
9mmDentalPlan listen to the devil makes three' there cover is better than lost dog street band but thats my opinion.
I completely agree, Lost Dog fucking kill it. I prefer it over even Zandt, oh the blasphemy.
You're exactly right. different style, but still great
Agreed.
Colter is best. No doubt about it.
W.B. Walker and Colter Wall you boys keep it up, coming from this poor wv musician who just waitin' round to die
Both of us Appalachian musicians seem to be just waitin' around to die, friend.
So I just found out I am related to Townes earlier today! Pretty excited about this information
r/ThatHappened
This woulda been good on his self titled album and I feel like his voice would be good on waymore's blues
Sweet
He needs to cover dead flowers
Excellent idea!! Awesome fn tune. And his voice doing it?? Again, excellent idea!!
Damn Stones yes. I love crossover stuff. Great imagination.
Or....a favourite Stones tune of mine....and another that Colter's voice would rock....Far Away Eyes??
Or "Lungs"
Phenomenal
Hot damn
Diggin it,more,more,more
I’m a big fan of Colters but nobody covered this like Whitey.
Totally agree.
Then you should watch The Be Good Tanyas covering this song
Nope
Joe Ely's cover is epic, but you probably have to have access to bootleg live show recordings.....
My papaw was born on Hell For Certain around the Leslie/Clay Co. line in southeast Ky. Dunno if that's what W. B.'s shirt is dedicated to or not though lol. I need me one of em shirts though.
I live bout 20 minutes from there, it lives up to the name for sure
God fuckin damn
Whitey Morgan and the 78s nail this song
what picking pattern does he use? It seems a little different from Travis when he uses his hammer- ons. Does he use this pattern in another one of his songs?
I too met a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar........
Best there ever was
Colter should cover the thunder rolls
Pretty sure colter is a vampire cuz that pain and soul is from long long ago
KKONA at its best
anyone know what chords he’s using?
A minor , d minor , e major , mostly travis picking with mild strumming
That’s alright by me too.
In the words of blaze" what the he'll were you going thru when you wrote that, hot dog got damn"
Lindi Ortega did a great version of this as well.
Omg
Why didnt i know this was a thing...
Well Hell.. Ya know now, that’s what matters 🍻
Geeeez
Here me out boys...loop townes waiting around to die then play house of the rising sun then come back🤔
Colter let me down with the Kate McCannon music video but this makes up for it 10 times over
WHAT
Song is still great but ya the video just didn’t portray the story at all
That wasn't colters video his song but someone else made the video im pretty sure
The live version is better anyway. I don’t listen to Colters music for the videos
You're right, that video sucks ass.
I prefer the be good tanyas version. I just like her way of telling the story and the fingerstyle in that one. But i do like whatever this guy does.
Try Whitey Morgans version. Its the best Ive heard.
WTF? Wow... Thanks.
I think the be good tanya version of this is good
I think so too
Nope
Is this a deleted Tony Montana version from Scarface....
God damn it im gonna start smoking again
Now do Pancho and Lefty
Ol Coater Wah....
I wish he'd make a better recording of this.
56 luke bryan fans I see
WAIT THATS HIS TALKING VOICE?! bruh
:)
It’s annoying because everyone says Johnny cash or bob dylan. Dude just wants to be Townes and that’s great to me but how do people sleep on Townes
Much respect to colter one of my favs but whitey morgan fits better with the song
Seriously?
He sounds like he just got out of wisdom tooth surgery
Definitely a good cover, but I prefer Whitey Morgan and the 78's cover, heck I like it better than Townes' version.
Benjamin Todd of least dog street band did a much better cover in my opinion.
