- On this episode of the Converse Cowboy, I talk to Colter Wall, an amazing guitarist and vocalist from Saskatchewan, Canada. Colter's music has been described as a blend of blues, folk, and Americana and he is regarded as one of the best young vocalists in his genre today. Colter and I discuss how he began his music career, how he's overcoming the difficulties, as well as mindset and philosophy as it relates to his process in writing and performing music.

I'm a metal head most of the time but Colter and Tyler and Sturgill are awesome...and I maintain that Colter can smoke an entire brisket just by talking to it
Tyler an Sturgil ain't got shit on colter, and I'm a kentucky boy that's supported tyler since we were in high school together.
Gotta throw Charlie Crockett in there too!
Is "smoke an entire brisket" a code for something? lol
@@BobV97 he meant his voice is real smokey and grizzly while maintaining its beautiful sound
@hb1990 they might be, but Colter is the only one who didn't sell out for Nashville and California. Tyler wasn't the same after he did that run on the west coast, I think he smoked some of that weird shit out there and it fucked his brains harder than the usual shit he does. We've all got opinions, I wouldn't trade Colter for the pair of them any day of the week. I'll never go to another one of either of their shows.
colter wall looks like a different person in every picture i’ve seen of him
Same, I’m always like wait what?
Same 😂😂
I was in the top .05% of his Spotify listeners this year. I don’t regret a second of it. Can’t get enough of colter’s music
I was in the top .05% producers (by the asphalt ton) in the Canadian road building sector. Provincially recognized. Men’s work! What’s a Spotify?😂😂😂
nice, i was suprised to see i was top 0,001% on johnny cash last year. but this year i think colter will take his place
@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 idk what you boys are doing in sask but it sure ain't roads you're building..
Sask is infamous for their shit roads. which is where colter is from, myself as well.
I’d kill to see Colter on JRE!
That would be awesome
No.
I love that Joe Rogan has asked Colter on the show multiple times and every time he has been "busy". Working on the ranch in Texas. love it!
@@sirdigzalot2976 what do you think the real reason is he won't go on Rogan?
@@-redacted-2214 I agree
Colter is the epitome of a true country/folk artist. He talks the talk in his records and he’s walked the walk. A cowboy through and through and a storyteller through and through. Favorite artist right now
I’m a bouncer/ bartender at the Remington in whitefish MT and he just played at our bar and stayed and had drinks with us after closing the bar. And he’s truly a nice and humble dude, having some drinks and talking with him was amazing.
🤙🏼💙🤙🏼
Same here man. Saw him several times now and he always is able to be found and talked with. Always get him a shot of Jim Beam and leave him a doobie
I love how old fashioned colter is it’s refreshing to see a young guy doing well not out of social media alone
Such a humble man. I don’t think colter realizes some of us (I think, speaking for myself) listen to his music religiously. “...as a public figure... I don’t see myself as one...” sir, you definitely are a public figure. You bring joy, sadness, and hundreds of emotions to anyone who has listened to your music. Cheers, from Clarksville, TN.
what makes him great imo is that he just wants to deliver first and foremost his music, in an era of constant self promotion and search for social approval the man keeps to himself.
Well said, I agree 100%
Cheers from TN too, close to Clarksville.
Cheers from oak ridge
What's the only thing worse than dying? Dying and becoming a legend. But legendary status is earned in his case. He may not be able to recognize it now. Good guy.
You are right up there with Hank Jr. Waylon, Willie etc. You are the best thing to happen to country music since outlaw country. You’re music is all I listen to now. My phone is loaded with your music. I can’t wait until you start touring again and make sure you come to Alabama when you do. I’m 53 years old and I’ve listened to country music for a long time and I can’t believe someone has finally gotten it right.
Such a cool guy. Colter is the man!
He is the real deal!
Colter is growing up before our eyes. Looks like a different guy than 4-5 years ago, but same great music!
Bald Butte is such a beautiful song for me. It’s a movie in a song with my own characters, picturesque sceneries and a colour palette in my head painted through Colter’s song writing.
Cowpoke is another great song,old time.
"What's your favorite failure?" is the best interview question I've never heard before. Even better answer. Great job guys.
Whenever Colter sings, it’s incredible how naturally musical he is like he’s not singing he’s just breathing and I’m just so glad and grateful he picked up music and I know I’ll forever be a fan.
My favorite artist by far, just can't get enough of Colter!
Great interview! We love Colter Wall.
We love La Honda records!

Colter seems such a classy friendly guy. I have mad respect for him and his music, and it only grows.
Fellow Canadian here! from Ontario :) Great interview. Colter surprised me with his demeanor, I thought he would be more reserved, but he really opened up!! Enjoyed it very much! He is right... no one knows anything about Saskatchewan haha
Colter is such a genuine down to earth dude. Absolutely love his sound and style. Nice to see him getting the notoriety he deserves, been listening to him for a few years now.
Great music. So glad I found this recording as I have been wanting to know the answers to all of these questions. Great watch!
Colter is purity of country
An i lov it cross the pond.
Keeping them old soul ways alive in these modern to fast times.....
Respect CW🤝
Colter keeps getting labeled as he's like this guy, or he's like that guy, but I see him as unique in his own right. His soul comes tru that Martin, he writes very well, and he's a great finger picker with his own tone. Hell, I love the man! Railroad Blues is my favorite! Absolutely wonderful interview, great job!
Him singing on Yellowstone is going to put him over the top
Love this young man. Honest, down to earth. I live in Alaska bush. Found this artist accidentally, listen to him pretty much 24/7. Gorgeous in looks and soul.
"This is happening for me not too me" I like that! cheers man, great interview
If Cold Dog Soup isn’t on the next Colter album I will be one sad panda.
I’ve never seen him smile before!!!cute!!! Now I have a new crush 😭
Not to distract from the fact that Colter's singing and song writing are next level but he is a seriously handsome man! He has the most beautiful eyes and a smile i'd walk a country mile to see! Saskatchewan (scratch and yawn) proud!
Colter is my favorite artist hands down. His music speaks to me.
really like this interview. coltor is really humble and down to earth. and the interviewer was a cool guy too. thanks for sharing
Such a humble and cool guy, great interview
1.5 hours talking to Colter Wall? I liked and subscribed immediately!
Best interview of colter I have heard ever, great questions and you let him talk. Sound quality wasn't the best due to the circumstances but oh well, i listened to the entire thing through.
Had the pleasure of introducing a good friend to colters music over the past weekend around a camp fire in the mountains eating rabbit stew from a rabbit I had flushed that morning. His music creeps into most places in my life but I don’t think it had ever been more fitting than around that fire.
Thanks for the great interview
LOVE the COWBOY songs you're doing now..... HUGE FAN.....
Salt of the earth guy!
Been jamming his records on repeat and learning his tunes on guitar (and banjo), too.
Appreciate his tips on songwriting. Thanks to you both
He said he wants to see Alaska? Hey guy! I’m Alaskan! Come on down buddy! Southeast Alaska is the true beauty though. North Alaska might disappoint! I’ll fly him out and book him a show if he is down!
I loved this interview by the way. I think you oughta get Jesse Daniel or Benjamin Tod for an interview.
I second Benjamin Tod
Hah! I am in Alaska also. Listen to this Colter all day long.....a concert would be great huh.
@@brandonmcginnis7498 Benjamin Tod's story is absolutely incredible, he grew up not far from me here in Kentucky after he ran off from Tennessee
Colter Wall 💯 👌🤠 Cowboy.
I love his Music.
Colter is a true homie
“A true homie”
This country singer is hella dank cuh
colter wall is a really easy artist to love. not sure what kind of music I really listen to -- a few different genres, but Colter is for sure top of that list.
i am from colter home town i see his dad once in awhile...i am becoming a fan of his
Like this Canadian ! Common sense and common decency !
This is a great interview. Colter is thoughtful, eloquent and forthcoming. Roll on Speedy Creek!
Truly great interview , Thank you ! We're here for the long run , appreciating Colter and his music , to me the most real music these days .
Good ole humble guy. Though he can't say it he's the best artist of the genre of our time.
Album of the Year winner right here
Its crazy hearing him talk compared to when he sings its like he really digs deep down into his chest and uses the deepness in his voice as a man with a really deep voice i used to think that i couldn't sing and colter wall really inspired me to start taking singing lessons and learning how to control the bass in my voice.
When he said that the new record is for a certain type of person, it’s apparent. I’m from Iowa and grew up on a farm on the plains. Those songs speak to me on a personal level in regards to lifestyle that nothing else does.
I love Colter. He’s just as genuine and nice as his music is. Would love to see him come back for another time. The interview was outstanding. I’ll be sure to subscribe.
Great interview!!! Love Colter Wall and Guy Clark
Colter is the man. Hope he comes to BC for some shows.
This is a great interview. Interviewer asked great questions and added a philosophical touch. Great job!
Grew up listening to Johnny cash, willie Nelson, Kris kristofferson etc back in the 70s & 80s - when I first heard Colter it took me right back there. Immediate fan and have been playing his music like crazy this last year. He’s a blessing. Thanks for a great interview- it’s great to see and hear colter in a natural environment. 🙏
Great interview!! Love how he got into the history of so much, that's what really pulled me into his music in the first place!
This was a great interview. Great questions and interesting and uninterrupted answers.👍
Colter is real, genuine and honest. Love it.
LOVE THIS!!!!
This is a great conversation and such a good interview with a good dude. Thanks for doing this, Colter! And thanks for making it happen Mike Roberts.
Great interview. Thank you!
Sure hope to see him perform that song on “wester Af” soon or on the next record ! 👍
Tell you what this guy gave an amazing interview and Colter gave great answers. Wonderful.
So happy I stumbled across this. Great interview!
This was so cool and man colter is awesome
What a great interview! 👌 I'm watching from Sweden. 👋 Guess I can only dream about Colter ever coming here to play, but I LOVE his music and the kind of person he seems to be. Thank you for this. 🙏
“It’s my first zoom”
hell yes.
What a great interview man, really well done. Met colter in New York airport a few years back, such a nice guy. Much love from Saskatchewan
Great interview. Thank you for this.
I've gotta know what Colter did to completely turn his beard growth around. He's got some of the most epic facial hair these days, and that's exactly opposite of what it looked like when he first got noticed in them brewery sessions!
Thank you for this fantastic interview. You seemed genuinely interested in what Wall had to say, and you never cut him off, allowing him to fully explain his thoughts and opinions. Got to know him really well through this! And your production/camera quality is fantastic!
I think he was only 20 or so when those were originally released . Probably has a bit to do with it !
@@JShera Well yes, but I had very similar facial hair when I was his age (that's part of why I was hooked on him, haha). But here I am, present day, with pretty well the same growth for my beard. I've done everything I thought I could do to improve it.
What a guy.
Love Colter's music, becoming a favorite of mine for sure.
It's always a treat to hear artists you look up to discuss their writing process. Also I really enjoy your podcast Mike. You always leave me with good stuff to think about. Keep it up!
I am not even a country music fan. But I love Colter's music. And Sturgill
That man has kept me going through the past year. He made its suck a whole lot less (CW).
He's the real deal. Cool guy!
Colter is wise beyond his years
This was great man! Really, great!
Fantastic interview, thanks for this! Excellent and meaningful questions (the Guy Clark 'Cold Dog Soup' question in particular).
To Colter's bit on stealing from other artists, if you listen to classical much, you'll hear all kinds of floating melodies. Especially in the Baroque period.
I can understand Colter wanting to change his voice and learn to sing but there's also an emotion we feel through his gritty raspy voice that gets lost as people learn to sing proficiently. Hopefully, he can find a way to convey that emotion again that dont wear out his vocal chords
I don’t think he’s ever lost the ability to convey that emotion…? Even his new 2-song single released this year sounds just as good as Imaginary Appalachia
Dang, this is pretty good! Thanks for this!!
You don't hear such deep, rich vocals anymore, especially in country type genres. Mainstream anyway. I was telling my friend that I was just over all the high pitched voices in country and I couldn't get into it other than old country, outlaw country. She said, you'd love Colter Wall then. Because vocals are big for me as a listener, and good guitar pickin' is the bonus. It's about time we have some young blood in the genre that's a classic sound but fresh af at the same time.
Yes, I’ve never liked tenors as well as bass!
I was fortunate enough to see him at Saturn in Birmingham Al an let me tell ya... live is tha best. Hearing it on a phone or radio is one thing but live is 10x better
Colter is the real deal.
I love listening to Ranger Doug’s Classic Country Corral on Sirius xm every Saturday.
Thank you! Subscribed!
Superb👌🤘
I wish I could get my music out there like colter 🤠
It’s a far stretch but Colter should write something with Caamp. Both are distinct and have a great way of writing songs and I would like to see what they can come up with
Our man
Colter wall and Benjamin Tod is all I listen to. Colter shouldn’t feel intimidated by anyone. Because none of those people have his level of talent. He’s miles ahead of anyone, not called Benjamin Tod. Keep on making that awesome music.
Man I lover Colter! It would be cool to get Ryan Bingham!
33:56 That referred to as "STUCK-Cess" in some cases.....;)
Grand interview Gentlemen....
I'm not a big Country music fan but Colter seems real and this is a very hard to find feature in life these days. His music is the way he chose to communicate but if he would have been a carpenter then his style would have been expressed in that way... lucky for me he didn't...there's only so many Colter Wall chairs one can own 😜
COLTERRRR
Great interview! P.S I have that same laptop!
Niiiiice.
Anyone knows where i can find more interviews or podcasts with colter, im a huge fan and have been looking for ever this Is the First Time i found something where we can get to know this Legend, future looking bright for colter hes the real deal and a wonderful person
