- Colter Wall performs 'Mule Skinner Blues' for First Play Live
The praise preceding 21-year-old folk/country singer Colter Wall is immense. Steve Earle says Colter Wall is "the best young singer-songwriter I've seen in 20 years." Rick Rubin is also piling compliments on the young singer from Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
See the young singer's talent for yourself in this CBC Music session. Wall says that most of the songs on his new, self-titled album are autobiographical. With themes that include a drunken brush with the RCMP, a song titled "Codeine Dream" plus a murder ballad, one certainly hopes that at least the third in that list is fictional. It's hard to believe that Wall is as young as he is when you first feel his baritone rumble into your ears - like a truck cruising the gravel back roads of rural Saskatchewan. The gravity in his voice matches the authenticity of his lyrics.
You may have heard this name before, though: Wall's father is Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. One can't help but wonder about the father-son relationship after listening to the wayward tale of "Thirteen Silver Dollars." But who knows where the young Wall gets his inspiration? The important thing is that he has a lot of it, as well as prodigious talent, creativity and that beautiful baritone.

I start each day with a glass of water, a short walk, a poop, and a deep bellowing GOOD MOOOOORNIN CAPTAIN
I start each day with a glass of water, a short walk, a poop, and a deep listen to COLTER WALL
@@thetowerfantasymusic found him about nearly 2 years now and still listening and will be forever , gets my mood up all the time
If Colter Wall had shown up in the 60's or 70's he would be a legend today. No doubt about it.
He is going to be a legend in the 2040's
Every generation needs a legend ... how about the 2020's! Man-oh-Man Alive he is something else and SOOO young!
He'll be a legend of his generation but I get what you mean Jason!
He's a legend anyhow in my mind
He'd be a legend now if the current country music establishment would recognize and continue to build on its roots. Instead, they move in the direction of the big money, and we get over produced garbage like Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line shoved down our throats.
His voice can cook an entire thanksgiving meal.
Colter's falsetto is unexpectedly soft and beautiful
Josh Barela I so agree - A Canadian treasure being shared with the West✨💚🕊✨❤️🕊✨
A young person who sings jimmie Rodgers, much less a Canadian who sings jimmie Rodgers. Wow, hats off, most Americans dont know who he is. Jimmie is the real father of country. Seeing people who still know who he is and sing his songs gives me hope.
You’re right. I’m 28 and love Jimmie Rodgers. Good ol brakeman train songs
Wilf Carter was from Canada if I'm not mistaken
Country music of the twenties and thirties in general I miss the yodeling cowboys
Pride of saskatchewan right there
kyler o'connell I bet y'all are proud he's famous here in Texas too he's the best damn singer song writer alive today
Yup, so proud to say he's from Saskatchewan like me
I am so happy to have discovered this treasure. Please stay pure. Don't fall in with the riff raff and go long not fast. What a massive talent and natural ability he has. Wish you 80 years of musical joy for you and your future fans. I am blown smooth away by this sound.
Of course he can yodel! As good as it gets!
Wow! If my dad was still alive, hed's be freaking out right now! He'd say something like, "Now, this is what I call music" or "Why don't you and your band play music like this instead of that NOISE you make?" God, I miss that man. Waylon & Willie on Sunday mornings. Frankie Lane after a few beers... Life is surely different these days. Thank you Colter for the nostalgia.
Please for the love of god don’t ever stop making music
i got this ol diesel wound up, running til the the morning comes round. and this song keeps the wheels hot. Mr colter, u got a number one fan here. Lord mercy don't stop!
You don't stop mister we need men like you
Please quit youtubing while driving
My big bottle of Bourbon, a big cigar, ripping camp fire, slight chill to my back, Colter singing Mule Skinner Blues, it don’t get no better!
I'm from the South West part of Virginia pretty close to the Kentucky and Tennessee line my grandmother woke my mom and her sisters up by singing this song every day and really right now I mean really leaning into that hillbilly accent and finishing it with a yodel that could break glass so glad to see someone doing a cover of at these days
Hello from 2 years later but that’s the most beautiful place in this country imo. I’m from New Tazewell TN
@@Michaelth55 hi from three hours later i completely agree there is something very special about these mountains
I love this song, part of our living history. Colter's voice is as real as the earth, rocks, trees and trails from which this song sprung. Now consider this, he is only 21.
My late father would have loved his voice........pure old fashioned country...dang fine!!
My life is so much sweeter with you in it Colter!!
New country I present you to him...
I've never heard his voice go that high
Me either man
In a rare event, my life was made better by discovering the music of Colter Wall about 2 months ago. Not normally a genre I listen to, and I’m glad I came across this legend-in-the-making.
Glad it was the right music at the right time for you!
Favorite song of all time! This should be colters song
You can tell by the yodeling, he's really enjoying himself during this. Puts a smile on my face every time. Cheers to him for bringing ole JR back to life
This ain’t hank jrs song it’s Jimmie rodgers. Hank jr did the best cover I have ever heard tho of this song
If you take a listen to Rambling Jack's version you can truly hear the way colter pays tribute to his hero . Outstanding artist . Always have been , always will be .
first time here...i do like his sound....
Classic tune by a future classic!
awesome....just awesome
Hahaaaaaaa!!!!! colter wall singing a song i have only heard dolly sing. Now i gotta go look for that version. Love when she says hey heyyyyy lil water boy wont you throw that bucket downnnn. What a fun song!
check out Ramblin Jack Elliots version. It's another classic.
Great version of this Colter wall is uniquely great
I love utube. I keep finding new talent! Love this guy. Plus he's playing a guitar like mine. Of mine is pretty beat up. It's 70 years old. It sounds beautiful.
Where can I get a Colter tee shirt?? A modern day legend !
Saw him in Toronto. Top rate talent. Pat Lyons and Solly Levine, Jake Groves and Jason Simpson are possibly the greatest band play together I have ever seen
Nice !
Great voice - what a talent.
great artist no doubt
Nice job Colter, Love Jimmy
Amazing! What kinda picking/strumming is Colter playing at 0:48 - 0:50?
Hell yeah
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Love jimmie rodgers! Love colter too!
Please follow your vision. it is distinct and unique
gold
I would love to hear Colter cover some more Jimmie Rodgers.
I bet he can do great versions of Johnny Cash's songs
Damn.
They must play this song different up in Canada than the way we play it down here in the south
Why am I reminded of the movie Mars Attacks when I hear this song.
🔥
That's the shot.
🤔 Very interesting man
🖤✌
Colter is one bad ombre
If Louis L'amour played guitar......,
Luther Hawkins - Nailed it.
Spot on..
Nice!!!
Even the high notes are in baritone 😂
Hey does anyone have the exact lyrics for that versions he's singning?
I'm a french canadian and altough im fairly good in english i feel there's some type of slang or cultural thing going on in the song and lyrics would really help me understand & appreciate the song 100%
Thanks if ever!
He reminds me of Jeff Buckley in a strange way ...Old Dark Country style!!
beyond the great voice and guitar, I think its the side to side head shakin'
🎉🎊👍🏻🇳🇴
What kind of guitar is that
Martin
He has acquired an early 30s Martin 0017 but I don’t know if this is it
If?
Not bad but it's missing the hillbilly jazz of the original tune by Jimmie Rodgers or the upbeat pep of the bluegrass version by bill Monroe, it's definitely missing something
My favorite version is the stompin tom connors one haha
Chords?
Seems like modified Cs and a cup le Ds
You can literally see his hand position for 90% of the song...if you can’t tell what chords he’s playing from this video then you aren’t good enough to play the song.
I think it’s G7, C, Then D7

@@zacharyblackmon9893 Extremely helpful and useful comment!
This is a great version but bill monroe and dolly are tied for first, in my opinion.
Lmao what a joke
