- Colter Wall's voice rings out in the back pasture for this incredible rendition of "Bob Fudge," written by Ian Tyson. Huge thanks to Colter for taking the time to share his time and talents with us at the back pasture, around the bend from the Red Ants Pants Music Festival!

When he pauses and sings “when I first saw Montana...” it gives me chills every time
Same here
it’s crazy man. imagine riding those trails back in the day, then all of the sudden all those places become national parks/forests
@@sappydoc8149 yeah, definitely
Colter is such a great story teller, just close your eyes and listen to this song and you can imagine every detail he sings about.
@@sappydoc8149 and aren't we glad now that some visionary men had the foresight to set aside our natural heritage for their children...
I thought I hated country music, turns out I just hated the commercial trash they try to feed you. Colter Wall, Cash, Jennings, Haggard ill listen to all day!
Skye Gray Yeah you hate “pop country” this is the real shit actual cowboys sing
What do you think about Chris Stapleton?
@@Alphacentauri819 if you dont like Stapleton's music... you might be deaf
* shrug *
lenny lobstar what?!?😂
What are you talking about???
lenny lobstar to spell it out to you...
I was asking about Chris Stapleton, only because he wasn’t listed amongst the country greats.
I love him.
His ability to tell a story in a song is what true Country is all about.
Harad - Fantasy Music it’s written by Ian Tyson, not by Colter wall sadly
@@sethnease9198 Yes, Colter does many covers.. that being said he is the #1 !!!!!
Good tunes is good tunes, no?
@@unacceptablecodyberg1402 Absolutely!!!!!
Still, the songs he has written are on the same level
It’s rare you get to see a legend evolve in the flesh before their tale is written, stamped, and told. God given natural talent, endless practice, or a few trips to the crossroads I don’t know.... doesn’t really matter, but comparing him to Cash doesn’t quite capture his sound. One day when they say the name Colter Wall people will pause and know...This fella is on his way to becoming one of the greatest country singers ever.
Carlyle Stewart very well said
its like The old Nighthawk by Waddie Mitchell, "I always did like that song, it takes me back to when I was young, memories come through my head of the times I have heard that ole song sung by voices, now long since dead." Colter sounds like the ole days but hes now!
Couldn’t of said it better. He, along with some other country artist right now are reviving the outlaw country music once again. I find this to be refreshing in an era where country music is over produced, cookie cut and dry. I agree with you, tho it’s easy to compare Colter to Cash I believe he is uniquely establishing himself as an independent artist. What a pleasure it is to be able to witness such talent.
Carlyle Stewart I give pause now with a tip of my hat to my hands it falls for he is as you describe!
So glad to see this new style with the old familiar formula that I love!
Cheers
Carlyle Stewart, are you a writer? If so, where can I access your material? You yourself seem to possess a great talent.
This song makes me homesick for a place I’ve never been to.
Just what we need, more Western and less Dirt roads, daisy dukes, and Jack Daniels in country music
Glenn Basil II agreed but I like jd
@@gypsymothgillis3537 don't get me wrong, so do I, there's just a lot of repetitive name dropping in todays "country" haha
@@glennbasilii552 Ya'll are right.... Hence my tag name... Guitar out of toon, but fit perfectly to the song.. brings the story to life. This guy will be a legend for our generation forward.
@@sea_turtle_adventures I hear ya man, bringing old school true country back, no pyrotechnics, no cliche' southern twang, just the voice of a true country crooner and an open prarie. I'm looking forward to seeing him in concert as soon as he comes in the area
I'm ok with old no. 7
This song leaves me wanting for a time long passed and a place I can never go.
You can go man, go too Montana and see everything you want too see before it really is gone
Go to the ranges they're undeveloped and rough get a house and a gun and food you'll be ok I plan to cross the rocky threw Montana on horse back
Safe to say everyone watching this is in the same boat. I know I am. Seriously though start a life on some land and keep this way of life alive, or it will get shoved to the past along with every other beautiful thing in this country.
Chloe Matthews , too true, lass. Especially now, with all the craziness. Gives me an even greater appreciation for what we stand to lose
Same man, ive wanted to move out west since I was young, the first time I heard this song it just motivated me more to atleast see it once before I die if I can't move myself there.
I wasn’t into country music when Cash was alive. I missed all of Hank’s life. But this.. Colter Wall. The songs. The voice. The presentation and the pride in where he’s from... Saskatchewan of all places. I’m happy to say I’m witnessing this. As another comment said, one day the name “Colter Wall” will be said and heads will nod.. respect and smiles for what he did for music, and especially country / western music, will be poured. Thank you, Colter. Keep em comin.
He really transforms you in a way the legends did. Most of the genre today is hot garbage, but not Colter. He's legit talented.
Well said.👍
Check out Tyler Childers and Sturgil Simpson too :)
Watcha mean Saskatchewan of all places? You must be from Alberta hahahahaha
@@waynethera2712 I’m from California, and before really finding Colter Wall, all the country music artists I loved were from Kentucky and Texas. It wasn’t a diss to Saskatchewan or Canada, just surprising to most in the US I feel.
Scary prairie boy #makemurderballadsgreatagain
Give me an album with Colter Wall and Tyler Childers singing murderballads and cowboysongs, and I would literally throw my money at you 😂
Throw some sturgill in there ooof
Per Tore Gresseth Tyler Childers was already in a song with Colter Wall it’s called Fraulein.
Brad Sasser Yeah, I know and it’s amazing!
Per Tore Gresseth sadly it’s not a whole album😂
A whole mans life in 5 minutes shows the beautiful simplicity of life in the old west.
My mind goes to Blood Meridian every time I hear this.
This young man will be the biggest thing in country music, and you can take that to the bank.
Joseph Dawson what are you willing to bet? I’ll wage a pretty penny
This will age well
Doubtful, not one single mention of drinking a beer, or sitting on a tailgate, or driving a backroad and it lacks the snap track... this guy is extremely talented which is why he will never be a "popular" country artist.
You've confused "will be" with "should be"
@@MannyBoi 10 silver dollars
I'm obsessed with his voice in this song. Absolutely stunning. This is quite possibly my favorite song by him.
Jesus Christ died for your sins please repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand ..
listen to Ian tyson who wrote this song
RIP Ian Tyson. Canadian icon. Singer. Writer. Rancher. Happy trails, pard.
my god yes
💔
Amen
This is just golden. You can hear the wind and the thunder over the mic. And you can hear that A string buzzing. It’s perfection.
LYRICS!
My name is Bob Fudge I was born in Texas
Lampasas county back during the war
Small pox and Comanches took most of my family
Left my poor mother, my brothers and me
So I headed North to ride for the blockers
They were contracting herds for the Montan(a) range
In the Spring of the year 82 we left old Lampasas
With 2, 000 steers for the Little Bighorn
Crossing our trails there were many great rivers
All to be crossed not a bridge would we find
In the cold rolling waters and the wild punching cattle
There was many a young man took leave of his life
Well we crossed at Doan's store into the Indian nation
Saw the blood on the rocks where those cowboys had died
Then it's on Fort Dodge on the Arkansas River
Where gamblers and whores all welcomed us there
And the great snowcapped peaks they were on our left side now
For many miles in the great silent land
When I first saw Montana, I knew I would love her
I would ride her great ranges til the end of my days
But she's all cut and dry now and the trails are all gone
I've been in Yellowstone Park in an automobile
But I can still see em swimming, boys I can still hear em running
I came off of the trails when cowboys was king
My name is Bob Fudge I died in Montana
I can’t believe he’s 24, sounds so much older

@@lloydallen1919 Thanks. This is very good.
I can't believe he released Imaginary Appalachia when he was 19.
i dont hear a voice that is measured by a comparison to others but a voice that compares to no one else and is measured only by itself.
keep being you Colter
I grew up on Ian Tyson music - say no more - Colter is a living 21st century cowboy legend.
I am enjoying the progression of his vocals. He is obviously working on them all the time. Stoked for the next album!
It's hard to put my finger on it, but it's almost as if he's changed his style now. As much as I love his new stuff, I think I like his older sound more - his music back around Kate McCannon. I love the outlaw-ish look he had, and his deep haunting vocals. Not only has his get-up changed, but his voice has as well. He still has killer songs, and I love everything he puts out, but I just prefer his younger days.
Comedy Bros I was just thinking that. His voice used to much more haunting and deep. Im lovin’ the new style though
@@cloudywood4197 I would bet he was straining his voice constantly singing like that. i always felt like if he didnt change how he sang, he would be able to do it for very long.
@@ComedyBros5 same
@@ComedyBros5 In an interview not too long ago he was asked about his style changing and he responded that now he’s received formal vocal training hence the change. I believe he said something along the lines of “well I just learned to sing” and laughed. I agree though that I lean towards the old more guttural tone he had but am still loving this more polished sound
So proud to have this young man from our city, Swift Current, province Saskatchewan and CANADA!
He belongs to us now! Montana for the rest of our days. LOL
Y’all have Colter and we have Tyler Childers! We are going to have to share these talents ☺️
Speedy Creek FTW!
Mic plugged in the grass
it's a pity that you can not put a few likes .. I listen and listen again ..
When he says I can still hear em running boys, I hear horses galloping in my head. Incredible
Raw talent. Colter has taken a path in country music that very few would ever think about doing. A true cowboy storyteller that I could only compare to the late great Marty Robbins. He shares a lot of similar characteristics of him and I love it. He will definitely go down in history as a legend.
His cover of Big Iron is fantastic! I absolutely love it. Theres a video on here that I listen to once a day
@@allisonbrisbois1099 will have to check it out
well Marty Robbins also raced NASCAR so there's still a step to be taken :P
" shes all cut and dry now , and the trails are all gone .
" i came off of the trail, when cowboys was King " .
Old school Country here for a 22yo Millenial. LOVE IT.
I don't know that there's ever been a Canadian who understands Americana as well as this
I own a cattle ranch in Lampasas county. I LOVE this song!!! Such an amazing song sung by a talented guy. There is a long history of cattle ranches here. I am glad he did this song.
That’s sick
(In a good way)
Any jobs going?
This man is a Canadian treasure.
This is it. As western as it gets. The old west and western music lives through this mans music
This song is like a Time Machine, taking you back to the days of the west through the introduction of modern technology
My god this man is a treasure.
“Crossing our trails” key change is so damn epic
I was in the shower listening to this play and I hopped out cause I had to know the name of the song.
I love this song the way Bob Fudge loves Montana.

@@lorenzodiserafino5408 Greetings from Oregon!
@@GrampaPiggie all right, unluckley i am the only italian in the world that know colter wall😂
This is what heaven sounds like I bet
whenever he said “Indian” me and my first nations girl would scream and he would looks at us and smile
Remember playing Cowboys and First Nations as a kid? Yeah me neither!
Wtf is a first Nations girl?
kilokilo34
Being misinformed and mistaken as a child is not evidence that it is ok to be misinformed and mistaken as an adult.
So if calling people of First Nations “ Indians” was ok back then, as a child...
Can we reach a little further and say that as a Nation/ people-USA that back in history when we called other people by certain names that it justifies calling them those names today?
If Indians are still Indians..... are misplaced ethnic misnomers still okay and acceptable?
And if not ... then why do “ they” get off the hook and our Red men don’t?
Can’t pardon one and not the other and be fair?
@@kilokilo34 cuz youre not canadian
@@tonyhill5348 its what someone in the u.s. would call native american or indian.
This music gives me goosebumps, I don't know if any of you have ever rode a mountian ridge on horseback at dusk, but this is how it feels.
This song is absolutely incredible in every way. Colter is such an amazing story teller with his songs. Dude is the real deal
The Great Snow Packed peaks gives me chills every time!!
The man, the myth, the legend, Colter Wall! Amazing as always. Even though it’s not his song, he really breathes new life into it. He’s got a way of telling stories like no other.
Colter Wall’s talent never ceases to amaze me. I could listen to him 24/7. Phenomenal.
This is seriously my favorite song of all time and I mean that. I cannot stop listening to it.
This is a masterpiece. The story of our people. I can see it, touch it, feel it through his incredible voice and intonation. Wow, chills.
Don Edwards is my favorite Colter wall.. my top 10.. good song. Thank you.
This man never ceases to amaze me.
When Colter was born the Dr told his mom " congratulations you just had a man."
Love this shit! Idk why the radio doesn't play more music like this..
One of my favorite songs right now
ty1553 J my name Bob is Fudge!
What a difference from now and back when he did the original 16 recordings. Still a great singer, player, and performer. But he is much more refined now. Though I miss that trouble searching smirk he had. Like he's a different guy in that respect.
Wonderful! Play his albums on repeat all day while I work on houses.
Right? I like his older sound better. Not only has he refined his look, but it's almost as if his voice has changed? I do still think he's one of the best country singers out there today, I just like his old stuff more.
and a bit of the head shaking
@@ComedyBros5 I think he is (or was) in the process of finding his voice and what was comfortable for him
@@ComedyBros5 I know that this is an old comment, but he said that he didn't really know how to sing well before. He was seemingly not singing very technically and you can see him strain to get that sound he had before. He's for sure more technical now, but of course he had that early sound. I wonder if he can still do that if he wants to - would be cool to see him sing one of his old songs now live.
@@michaelcavalry8379 I heard that. I love the man's voice in both "versions," but something about it in those early years was just downright spine chilling.
I saw Montana as a young boy. Wild and blue. This is how it feels. 🤘
thanks to Colter Wall for coming along and basically shattering my prejudice about country music single-handedly. turns out I didn't hate country, I just hated the manufactured pop acts they were shoving down my throat at every car dealership and football game in America... turns out I just needed to hear some real Western outlaw music from an actual singer-songwriter who cares more about his craft than his image to realize that country still has a soul underneath all the cookie-cutter-corporate-cowshit...
Every time I hear this song I can’t control my emotions! It always brings me to tears for some reason.
I have been to Montana a number of times. love it there, beautiful country. this song, especially with colter performing it sounds like Montana.
Such an amazing performance. Can’t listen to this without tearing up. ❤🫡
I am stuck on this man’s music. It is sown itself into my soul.
I have driven from Lampasas, Texas to Great Falls, Montana a number of times and have been all throughout most of the west. I have also driven the route through Oklahoma and Kansas to get there. His descriptions of the places paint a picture but having seen these places personally makes this an incredibly moving song for me because I can close my eyes and see those landscapes in my mind's eye. I didnt think Colter Wall could top "Cypress Hills" but he did with this one.
Covid needs to end because I NEED some Colter in my life ASAP!
Thats one hell of a voice.. man sounds like he's rode miles and had it rough.. has this scratch to his voice sounds like 2 packs a day. true country here. Thank ya sir
First heard Thirteen Silver Dollars, was hooked. Then in those lyrics he sings about the "letters RCM & P". Hot dang! I said in Toronto, this spectacular man is Canadian!! Found this out on Canada Day! His dad was the 14th premier of Saskatchewan. At 65, I hope I am around a LONG time to watch his growth, he is already a PHENOMENON!
This convinces me that we need guitars in RDO
Colter gives an awesome tribute to one of the greatest trail ride cowboys ever to have lived, Bob Fudge.
The song was written by Ian Tyson. Ian Tyson is one of the greatest cowboy singers to have ever lived.
@@jdsullivan38 yessir , I'm aware
Actually , Ian is a folk singer, and my intent was not to take anything away from him.
@@markhanson2116 I didn't think you were trying to take anything away from him. I was just clarifying, not trying to mock or whatever. Ian created only cowboy music from about 1980 onwards. He made cowboy music for longer than Colter Wall has been alive.
@@jdsullivan38 I'm completely aware of Ian Tyson. Your opinion has been recognized.
4:16 still gives me the chills. Keep on Colter
This makes me remember my father and grandfather who lived that life. thank you
This is the kinda fella you wanna hear all night long around the campfire with a snort or two of good whisky.
Same comment from other videos. I love this song!
Hi , nice video! I don't know if this was mentioned in all the comments but Bob Fudge was a real person and a real cowboy. My great grandfather Denby worked with him on the XIT cattle drives from Texas to Montana in the early turn of the century. They ended up working for the Hatchet Creek Ranch in Fallon , MT and Alden Denby started a Homestead Act homestead there. I remember stories about Bob Fudge and other cowboys and homesteaders in the Terry and Fallon Montana region where XIT cattle were brought
Thanks for this. I've heard or read from other comments that Ian Tyson based this song on a book, and that the book is well worth reading.
This is my favorite cover of his. Love the simple sound of just the guitar, voice, and nature
I'm from Brazil but,.. dude He's like Johnny Cash! ... I love the country spirit scince when I was 13!!🤘🔥❤
Man… I would give anything to hear that for the first time again
Tell a good story and you can live forever. Colter Wall can tell a good story.
Wow. It is like being back home when I hear Colter sing. It fixes spaces I didn't even know where broken and fills spaces that leaving the West made empty.
This is the real & raw country story telling ✨☀️✨
🪶🦅☀️🦬🐃❤️
Everyone keeps talking about his voice, which I completely agree with, but his guitar work is amazing. Just him playing and the sound is full like multiple instruments being played!
Unreal. So glad I discovered this young man
Amazing......
One of my favorite live performances
There’s a spiritual core to Wall’s music conspicuously absent from not only popular country music but popular music in general today, which is, I think, one reason why it feels so healing and so necessary. He is a musical poet and storyteller whose beautiful, haunting voice gives expression to, casts light on, the deepest, most silent parts of ourselves.,
I am listening to this song about 20 miles from Lampasas. It's weird hearing him reference a place so close to my home, but it is a nice surprise. Great song!
Didn`t know the song or the singer until now. When I just first heard him I thought of a man in the age of 65 or older - his voice is unique. I get emotions every time I listen to it .... really great music
This song should be in Yellowstone
The last verse makes my eyes swell with emotion. Bravo Mr. Wall.
this guy is a legend
Colter Wall is the best there is. When he sings ain't nobody else singin.
the young man is a true picker.
whole cow
true package
generational talent.
I've worked on ranches, make my living as a construction worker.
this man touches a chord.
The wind being picked up makes it sound so much better and kinda makes me think about guys who had been on the trail all day, and would play by campfires. Pretty dope.
By far one of my most favorite musicians, and one of my favorite performances. Colter Wall is what country is and used to be.
We finally found ol silver throat. Johnny will always be golden throat but you're the next best thing
Colter Wall resurrected country music!
I wish the rest of the group was there bc those little riffs on the guitar and piano really take you there, still I’m grateful for this.
Well, Colter is definitely a story teller. I could go to a concert & enjoy the show. If he were doing a dance, I'd probably sit it out... Good Luck young man...
Greatest colter wall performance
The spawn of a coming greatness instilled in one mans soul made of infinite life
Wow. Never heard the rockies sang about with such soul.
Boys, I can still hear ‘em runnin’
This is the best video on CZcams. Period.
Amen , nothing else holds a candle to the sound of my grandfathers storytelling to me as a young child, all manifested into a couple of short minutes with Colter Wall, his guitar and a soon to come ,praire storm !
At the very end he does a slight bend on the body of the guitar. A true artist he is
Listened to so much of his music on my cross-country trip. This song for montana, Plain to see Plainsman for Kansas, Bald Bute for Colorado.
This is such a fantastic song. The 7-inch record with this, and Happy Reunion, is one fine piece of vinyl.
His voice........all day in my mind
The visual ending to this is just a tear jerker. I envision the 1950s with an 80yo man driving his grand kids through Yellowstone, thinking back to when he was in his teens/20s driving cattle across those same hills...we will all have that feeling one day.
Im from Germany but i can Feel every worte i Love his music
