    Colter gives me chills every time I hear him. Like others, I disliked "country" til I realized that this is what real country blues is. What's on the radio is pop nonsense. This has soul, he sounds wise well beyond his years, and shows that darkness that started the whole blues/country genre down south years and years before our time. So glad I came across Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Shakey Graves, Devil Makes 3, and others that reminded me what real, raw, soulful music is and the power it can possess.

      I get the reason why people think, or assume, that cigarettes do this to people's voices. Maybe it does, but I've been smoking cigarettes since I was 15, and I hit puberty later than most of my friends, who have also been smoking since they were 15 or earlier. We're all 33 years or older, still smoking, and not a single one of us has a voice like this. I'm talking about like 8 guys.
      Maybe it is smoking, but it didn't do that to me, or anyone I know.

    Sunshine beating on a good time
    Moonlight raising from the grave
    String band playing worn out honky tonk
    Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain
    High heal spitting at the nicka jacks
    business man with a needle and a spoon
    coyote chewing on a cigarette
    pack a young boys going howling at the moon
    Hey darling, sleeping on the black top
    Hey darling, running through trees, honey
    Hey darling, leaving for the next town
    lessin my sense catches up with me
    Three dead in a crash on the number four
    Two witness blowing on the pipe
    Not sure who's will be done,
    you can call me a sinner for wondering why.
    Hey darling, sleeping on the black top
    Hey darling, running through trees, honey
    Hey darling, leaving for the next town
    lessin my sense catches up with me
    Well the corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
    could it be it's the same as the last?
    Swear I've seen your face before,
    just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
    Hey darling, sleeping on the black top
    Hey darling, running through trees, honey
    Hey darling, leaving for the next town
    lessin my sense catches up with me

    Business man with a needle and a spoon
    Coyote chewing on a cigarette

    Hey darlin'!

    Three dead in a crash on the number four
    Two witnesses below and up high
    Not sure whose will be done
    You can call me a sinner for wondering why

    Sleeping on the blacktop

    Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
    Could it be it's the same as the last?
    I swear I've seen ya face elsewhere before
    Just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
