Colter Wall ~ I Never Go Around Mirrors 🍂 With Craig Dumontel On The Mandolin

The first time hearing Colter Wall is a cannon event 🤠 Years before sold out tours and millions of streams, there was “The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie.” Released in 2015 when Colter Wall was only 20, the song gave listeners their first taste of one of the most distinctive voices in modern Americana music. Its dark, blues driven sound, paired with lyrics inspired by traditional folk murder ballads and classic country storytelling, made it stand out right away. What really caught people’s attention wasn’t only the songwriting. It was hearing that deep, unmistakable voice coming from a young musician from Saskatchewan, Canada. For many fans, this song was their introduction to Colter Wall, and it has remained one of the most memorable live Americana performances on YouTube. More than ten years later, “The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie” is still the song most closely tied to the start of Wall’s career. It introduced thousands of listeners to Americana and Western music. If you’ve ever fallen into the Colter Wall rabbit hole, this is probably where it began. #colterwall #americanamusic

Fun Fact: Before Colter Wall became known for his deep, unmistakable country voice, he actually started out playing rock music as a teenager. He learned songs by bands like AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin before eventually discovering blues, folk, and traditional country music. That mix of influences helped shape the gritty, old-school Western sound he’s known for today. #countrynews #countrymusic #country

One of a kind🙌 Few artists have done more to revive the traditional cowboy sound than Colter Wall, and his version of Cowpoke is a perfect example of why. Originally written by Stan Jones in the 1940s, the song tells the story of a drifting ranch hand who spends his life working cattle and riding the open range. Wall’s deep, weathered voice gives the song an authenticity that makes it feel less like a performance and more like a story pulled straight from the Old West. What makes Colter Wall so special is that he’s helping keep a nearly forgotten style of country music alive. While much of modern country has moved away from its roots, Wall has built his career around cowboy songs, western storytelling, and traditional country sounds. His recording of Cowpoke introduced countless younger listeners to a classic piece of western music history, proving that honest storytelling and timeless country music can still connect with audiences today. #colterwall #americanamusic #americanaqueue

Not many doing it like Colter Wall🙌 Colter Wall has one of the most unique voices in modern Americana and country music because he sounds like he stepped out of another era entirely. His deep, gravelly baritone and stripped-down western sound feel closer to old outlaw country, folk, and cowboy ballads than today’s polished mainstream music, which is a huge reason fans connect with him so deeply. Songs like The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie perfectly showcase what makes him special. The song blends dark storytelling, bluesy acoustic guitar, and haunting vocals into something that feels timeless, almost like an old folk tale passed down through generations. His voice gives the song an eerie realism that makes every lyric hit harder. In a time where so much music feels overproduced, Colter Wall has helped keep traditional Americana and “real music” alive by staying true to storytelling, raw instrumentation, and authenticity. Artists like him remind listeners that sometimes the most powerful songs are the simplest ones, carried by nothing more than a voice, a guitar, and a story worth telling. #colterwall #americanamusic #americanaqueue

Colter Wall has constructed an incredible and improbable career out of revitalizing the Western style of country music. With his most recently album—the critically-acclaimed Memories and Empties—he revitalized the traditional side of country too. On Wednesday (3-11), Colter Wall cancelled numerous appearances, ending his current tour. He also announced that he will be going on hiatus from touring indefinitely. “The show must go on” is often what predicated dangerous and sometimes fatal outcomes for our favorite artists as drugs fueled endless touring, and sidelined mental health issues until the spilled over into catastrophic outcomes. The recent death of Todd Snider underscores the risks on not taking these matters seriously, as does the recent biography of Justin Townes Earle, or the cautionary tale of Luke Bell. It’s better to read statements and stories about cancellations and postponements instead of deaths and funerals. Colter Wall should be given the grace to find whatever equilibrium is necessary for him to continue in music in whatever capacity he so chooses. His career has been too imperative to the renewed rise of Western music to put that in peril in any capacity. Full article up now on Saving Country Music.

Carrying the traditional sound🔥👇 Colter Wall brings a haunting, old-soul presence to “Thirteen Silver Dollars,” a song that feels like it was pulled straight out of the frontier days. His deep, gravelly voice carries the weight of every lyric, telling a rugged story of life on the run with a rawness that’s hard to find in modern country. There’s no gloss or overproduction—just pure storytelling that puts you right in the dust and grit of the West. What sets Colter Wall apart is his commitment to a traditional sound we don’t hear much anymore. Drawing from classic Western, folk, and outlaw influences, he stays true to a style that values authenticity over trends. In a time where country music often leans pop, Wall stands firm in preserving that old-school feel, proving that sometimes the most powerful music comes from keeping things simple and real. #colterwall #countrymusic #countryqueue
