The short, terse poetry this youngun puts to music is stellar. He could prolley describe NYcity in 2 lines or less. An you'd know that was it. Less IS more.
I’ll be on a Colter Wall video faster than a horse to water in the desert. Thanks, guys, for introducing me to him. The man’s gonna be a legend someday.
Damn, that was close. Just stumbled upon this. I coulda missed it, I'm oldish. Mighta passed first. I'd walk 100 miles to just listen to this young man. He sure can........he's jes damn good.
I have a friend who listens to colter and likes his music a lot, last night this song was playing and he asked me " I wonder who this wild Bill guy is?" We're not friends anymore.
Y’all this guys guitar playing is perfect. Does anyone know if it’s got a name? The style of pick strum pick strum he does? Of course it’s possible it’s pretty unique to him but I feel like I’ve heard people play like this before and I just can’t put my finger on it.
That's actually called "travis picking". In overall it's just an alternation between the base notes with a few strums between each base. Of course written like that it sounds easy but Colter's guitar playing is just filled with a bunch of details that makes it very very complex like all his little licks and walk ups/downs to each chords. That guy is actually the Mozart of the western music.
Oli Bouffard that’s a bold statement. I’m not disagreeing with you one bit. But I’d like to give you the opportunity to explain what you mean when you say he’s the Mozart of western music.
Andrew Allen just that Colter's playing is so unique just like him and that one day when somebody talks about western music Colter's name is gonna be one of those that comes to mind first in the same way Mozart's was and still is with classical. The way he can rearrange songs and make them feels like they're his astonish me completely.
Dave Van Ronk used to play like this, too, as did some of the guys who backed up Bob Dylan (who was mostly scrubber). I've always enjoyed it; even more so now that CW has come along.

“wild bill produced his bowie knife and fashioned a new coat” the most badass line in history

And a perfect way to sum up Hickok; almost pure fiction,- an extreme, often fictitious exaggeration worked up for his own benefit.
This dude is such a legend

Think flatpicking without a pick and the thumb (and fingers) is (are) the pick.

Wild Bill was born in Illinois on dry and fertile land
Pioneer of pistol ears and a dead shot with each hand
Claim he was the quickest, there's few who'd ill-agree
If you were yet to saw this plainsman draw, still breathe like you and me
He led a stagecoach freight team in his early days of life
One evenin' on the Western Trail, Bill took the air of night
And who should come upon him, but a bear whom he'd awoke
Wild Bill produced his bowie knife and fashioned a new coat
Kansas prairies he knew well and wild Missouri too
Come 1861, Bill donned the Union blue
Not unlike his daddy, he'd seen old man in bonds
Every man in Jimmy Lane's brigade, of Hickok they were fond
While a marshal in Abilene many Texans came to call
Phil Coe told John Wes Hardin, "Wild Bill has got to fall
"He's a cruel and brutish yankee, and if you don't then I will"
Wild Bill put down Phil Coe, Wes Hardin's livin' still
He met his fate in Deadwood inside Tom Nuttall's place
Amidst a game of poker, holdin' Aces and two Eights
When up stepped from behind him the Coward, Jack McCall
The slug ripped through his auburn hair, poor Wild Bill never saw
This isn't quite right.
A pioneer of pistoleers...
And
Fewer yet who saw this plainsman draw...
And
Not unlike his daddy, he'd see no man in bonds...
ThanQ, said my old ears, though they heard it not.
Wild Bill was born in Illinois on dry and fertile land

The line is:
Not unlike his daddy, he'd see no man in bonds
