I was drinking water while watching this and it turned to whiskey...... Edit: I stole this from another country songs comment section lol I'm not even legal age
Every note he’s hitting, every string he’s picking without lookin half the time, and not muting it is insane. I could never remember the notes or chords to play this.
I'm from Rolling Fork Mississippi...grew up off Highway 61. The kind of blues that I play and grew up hearing around me at the old juke joints, utilizes this style of picking. An old friend and guitar picking friend used to call my style of picking "thump blues"....playing the bass lines while playing within the chord structure....absolutely love this
None of that is really written out. It's basically just feel around his vocals... that's why these songs change a bit over the years of playing them. This guy is a genius... seriously... but it's really not a difficult song to play at all.
That was my exact thought the first time I heard & saw Colter. Where in the sam hell is this kid hiding that voice?! After listening to a couple dozen more songs, I realized that Colter’s physical being is late 20th century, but his voice & soul have wandered the plains and ranges of North America for at least 100 years more.
More delta acoustic blues than country... this is really just a spin on Robert Johnson's ol' Crossroads story... even down to Highway 61 mentioned. Keep in mind, that there are points of overlap with country, blues and bluesgrass... this is one of those times. But to me? This is pure acoustic blues. To you it's 'country'... the secret is... we're both right. I'm not calling Colter a rip off (love this dude's music)... this is his own song, his own style, but it borrows heavily from some VERY old blues. It's all good, I bet Robert Johnson would love this song. But the old crossroads trope in music (And more covers of this song that I can count... Clapton has done a few completely different covers of this classic over the years and decades) all trace back to here. Robert Johnson. ruclips.net/video/GsB_cGdgPTo/видео.html
@@voodoochild1975az First time I listened to this song I was like this is Death Don't have no Mercy by Reverend Gary Davis, which coincidentally it is, it's the same chords.
Since the lyrics guy failed us , here u go: "Well Reverend Reverend please come quick 'Cause I got something to admit I met a man out in the sticks A good old miss He drove a series 10 cadillac And wore cigar on his lip Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by And he said I know you I know you, young man I know you by the state of your hands You're a six string picker Just as I... I am Let me learn ya some I know a few turns to make all the girls dance Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by Foolish foolish was I Damn my foolish eyes Cause that man's lessons had a price Oh sweet price My sweet soul Everlasting My very own Eternal light Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' as he passed me by Well the Devil wears a suit and tie I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July White as a cotton field And sharp as a knife I heard him howlin' As he passed me By"
Colter is a unique blend of some great guitar players, but he’s truly one of a kind. I’m amazed when it comes to knowing when to pause (rest) and when to play. I have tremendous respect for him . He’s a great story teller.
Well Michael Iam a woman of a certain age AND I've heard alot of music in my time! This young man IS very talented. Has Lived! Beyond his years!!! You are Right. . . He IS Brillant!!! Just Caroline
I played this for my granny. She got up out her wheelchair, kicked down the front door and showed back up 5 days later covered in tattoos with a 6 figure UFC contract!
Shortly after picking yourself of the floor when you hear that voice for the first time, you notice that he's a dammed fine picker too. His timing and phrasing are brutally gorgeous
It's like someone poured the musical DNA of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford into the same young man / old soul! He really knows how to powerfully do subtle inflections, both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. Less is more, especially when the right magical drops of voice and instrument are sparsely and inspirationally blended. This kid is no doubt the REAL deal!!!
@@mrmc101 oh snap RUclips's top detective on the case. What evidence should I provide officer? I won't be able to sleep well if the court isn't satisfied with my comment.
I’d say better than 100% of it. Show me anything on the radio that’s better. Luke combs is the best they’ll play on FM country radio. And he’s relatively criny pop country. A little less cringy than the rest though
Drew Harrison agreed! I was just trying to be nice allowing the 5 percent! The only thing that I hear on major country radio that is even close is Chris Stapleton. I still Like Colter more!
I’m pretty sure this song is about Robert Johnson, a guitarist who people say sold his soul to the devil even being one of the first to do so. He went to the cross roads of Highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi referencing the lyrics “I saw him driving down the 61 in early July.” One of Robert Johnson’s songs “Me and the devil blues” is supposedly one of the songs the devil played to Robert when he gave his guitar to the devil and the line “I know you I know you, young man I know you by the state of your hands You're a six string picker Just as I... I am” and “Let me learn you somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance" is somewhat relating to that I’m not sure if this is 100% about him but it seems to be
Dude, I recognized the ''story'', but couldn't figure out from where. But once I read the name , I realized. I am almost certain that it is about Robert Johnson.
You nailed it Dude, an early 30's model Caddy The cross roads is at 61 and 49 on the Delta right outside Clarksdale. It's said that 61 was still gravel and 49 dirt when Johnson made his deal. Not sure how long ago it was now , (Peyton Manning was still playing for the University of Tennessee ) but I built a two lane overpass both North and South bound over Robert Johnson's Crossroads. Didn't make any deals while I was there.
this my friends is an elite singer-songwriter with the just the right amount of 6-string pizazz with a rough-edged string buzz and stomping that simple bass drum - pure and uncut, darkly cool music. GREAT SONG!
Been listening to over a year and a half now and although im happy Rogan spotlighted him... it never should have taken this long for Colter to blow up.
How have I never heard of this beautiful soul before!!!! His voice 😱😱💖💖 you don’t hear music like this as often anymore.... Y’all I’ve been livin under a rock because this is so under appreciated

Dear Josh Sizemore: I’d been trying so hard to decipher the “Let me learn you somethin’” line in the first chorus! You have my thanks. Sincerely, Hippie Joe
Are you sure it’s not “tunes”? “I know a few tunes to make all the girls dance.” Idk if it’s correct, but it seems like it should be. I appreciate the time it takes to post the lyrics, especially when there may be a few words that are hard to decipher. I’m glad you got the Ole Miss part right. Another poster put Old Myth. The only other part is the ending. It sounds like he sings “eternal light”, but I’d bet it’s “eternal life”, and the way Colter sings it makes it sound like “light.” The price was his soul (eternal life).
@@Maverick.311 Lol back when "Dragula" by Rob Zombie came out long before Google, I tried to decipher the lyrics by myself, and needless to say, it doesn't say Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches I slam in the back of my "Take you there."

Fuck em!
Every note he’s hitting, every string he’s picking without lookin half the time, and not muting it is insane. I could never remember the notes or chords to play this.
I'm from Rolling Fork Mississippi...grew up off Highway 61. The kind of blues that I play and grew up hearing around me at the old juke joints, utilizes this style of picking. An old friend and guitar picking friend used to call my style of picking "thump blues"....playing the bass lines while playing within the chord structure....absolutely love this
None of that is really written out. It's basically just feel around his vocals... that's why these songs change a bit over the years of playing them.
This guy is a genius... seriously... but it's really not a difficult song to play at all.
Can't believe that voice comes out of him... I love his music
That was my exact thought the first time I heard & saw Colter. Where in the sam hell is this kid hiding that voice?! After listening to a couple dozen more songs, I realized that Colter’s physical being is late 20th century, but his voice & soul have wandered the plains and ranges of North America for at least 100 years more.
Haunting! Dark country music is amazing.
More delta acoustic blues than country... this is really just a spin on Robert Johnson's ol' Crossroads story... even down to Highway 61 mentioned. Keep in mind, that there are points of overlap with country, blues and bluesgrass... this is one of those times. But to me? This is pure acoustic blues. To you it's 'country'... the secret is... we're both right.
I'm not calling Colter a rip off (love this dude's music)... this is his own song, his own style, but it borrows heavily from some VERY old blues. It's all good, I bet Robert Johnson would love this song. But the old crossroads trope in music (And more covers of this song that I can count... Clapton has done a few completely different covers of this classic over the years and decades) all trace back to here. Robert Johnson.

@@voodoochild1975az First time I listened to this song I was like this is Death Don't have no Mercy by Reverend Gary Davis, which coincidentally it is, it's the same chords.
Again with the Genre Pigeon Holing disease... This is just bad-ass, smokin' hot music that I would pay to see live!
voodoochild1975az it’s folk Americana
Since the lyrics guy failed us , here u go:
"Well
Reverend Reverend please come quick
'Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks
A good old miss
He drove a series 10 cadillac
And wore cigar on his lip
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
And he said
I know you I know you, young man
I know you by the state of your hands
You're a six string picker
Just as I... I am
Let me learn ya some I know a few turns to make all the girls dance
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
Foolish foolish was I
Damn my foolish eyes
Cause that man's lessons had a price
Oh sweet price
My sweet soul
Everlasting
My very own
Eternal light
Don't you know the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin' as he passed me by
Well the Devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down the sixty one in early July
White as a cotton field
And sharp as a knife
I heard him howlin'
As he passed me
By"
Thanks!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you sir
You're the lyric guy now compadre
Thank u chap
This kid is literally mesmerizing and all he needs is a guitar and his voice…certainly gives other artists a run for their money
Colter is a unique blend of some great guitar players, but he’s truly one of a kind. I’m amazed when it comes to knowing when to pause (rest) and when to play. I have tremendous respect for him . He’s a great story teller.
Hello Janice
Hellor Janice
Amen!
Legend says he can tame a wild bear with just a glance
it's old, but a great line.
I heard he killed a grizzly when he told it to sit
More like Seduce
I dont know if its because im extremely fucking stoned right now or hes just that brilliant , but this blew me away.
He is that brilliant!! But being extremely fucking stoned doesn't hurt.🤪
both man, good music to listen to high
Nah, been sober for years...still rocks my face off.
Well Michael Iam a woman of a certain age AND I've heard alot of music in my time! This young man IS very talented. Has Lived! Beyond his years!!!
You are Right. . .
He IS Brillant!!!
Just Caroline
Its been two good months since I had a single puff even, and this still rocks :)
I played this for my granny. She got up out her wheelchair, kicked down the front door and showed back up 5 days later covered in tattoos with a 6 figure UFC contract!
Realistically though, at least 3,000 of these views are mine...
Zulu Thunder same
Haha no chit
HAHAHAHA
Probably a good 100 are mine lol
And i have the 2000
Joe Rogan made me curious. This didn't disappoint.
What podcast does he mention Colter?
@@skyz6708 lots with Tom Green but he mentioned him before that.
@@skyz6708 Instagram
@Michael Vloggins over four hours of drunk bs, this was best thing from it !
hey brother, pass me a link to Joe Rogan. "Its a crossover episode" :D
Whoever produced this crushed it... The camera work is great and the audio is phenomenal. If I were Colter I'd swear by this crew.

@@dulizardglasses3170 lmao
This is like the opposite of Devil Went Down to Georgia, and I love it
@C Hen that’s what the song’s about yeah
nah this like the sequel to Devil Went Down to Georgia where the devil actually convinced a Canadian to sell his soul for rad guitar skills
@chen661yea somewhere between robert johnson and skip james
Im fifteen years old and this is the song on all my playlists i blast it out my truck everywhere i go
So this is what Carl from the Walking Dead is doing now...
Great comparison that's who i was thinking he looked like couldn't place the name or face
It’s a shame this comment doesn’t have a thousand likes
Holy shit lol it looks almost exactly like him.
lol
OH MY GOD I SEE IT NOW BLOND CARL
Sounds like this, sounds like that. What this man sounds like is Colter Wall; and that's Aplenty !
This is like hearing Nick Offerman's voice out of Michael Cera's mouth
LOL this is the winning comment, absolutely hands down
He sounds like a combination of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
Babahahahha
Strumming the acoustic
Slapping the bass
And singing the soul
This is raw music at its finest.
Shortly after picking yourself of the floor when you hear that voice for the first time, you notice that he's a dammed fine picker too. His timing and phrasing are brutally gorgeous
It's like someone poured the musical DNA of Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ernie Ford into the same young man / old soul! He really knows how to powerfully do subtle inflections, both as a guitarist and as a vocalist. Less is more, especially when the right magical drops of voice and instrument are sparsely and inspirationally blended. This kid is no doubt the REAL deal!!!
Watching this with my neighbor's chihuahua and it turned into a wolf before my eyes!
One of the rare artists these days where their music is actually better live than it is on recorded albums.
My 4 year old was watching this with me and started laughing. Then he said "That kid has a mustache like a grown-up!" and started laughing again.
uh huh sure
@@mrmc101 oh snap RUclips's top detective on the case. What evidence should I provide officer? I won't be able to sleep well if the court isn't satisfied with my comment.
Bill Haggard shut the hell up you know what he said was funny you just butt hurt
Bill Haggard ass hat
@@mrmc101 I don't believe him either. 🤔 Sounds like some made up bullshit.
I hope he makes it past 27.
bob yakp wtf
@@No1liveshere the 27 club, look it up
Oh shit I didn’t think ab that
I don’t know if anything that would get him there other than pure chance. He’s not a heavy user of anything I think.
LOL
And only 11 years old when he recorded this! Amazing!
"the best young songwriter in however many years" Steve Earle on Colter Wall
Tyler childers
J.P. Tyler knows how to write some songs man. I put him up there with anyone. That dude is legit.
Agreed. Tyler childers is better. But this boy is still damn good
Legend has it he eats a bowl of gravel in the mornin.
Without any milk.
@@Smauglington2050 but wih pure bourbon.
On the Rocks
Reminds me a little of Johnny Cash
jonah white yeah, if cash could sing lol.
He does remind me more of Cash now that I read that
First thing that came to mind when I first listened to him
Same here
Reading his bio, he states Johnny Cash as his musical influence. You can really pick that up in his music
Don’t know how I found this but I couldn’t be happier. Unbelievable this guy is.
Yoda?
A Million times better than 95 percent of anything else on country radio!!
I’d say better than 100% of it. Show me anything on the radio that’s better. Luke combs is the best they’ll play on FM country radio. And he’s relatively criny pop country. A little less cringy than the rest though
Drew Harrison agreed! I was just trying to be nice allowing the 5 percent! The only thing that I hear on major country radio that is even close is Chris Stapleton. I still Like Colter more!
Chris Stapleton is REALLy good but NOT better!
The teachers used to ask him if they can go to the bathroom
We are witnessing an evolution here. I think his artistry will grow and I can't wait to see him develop and hone his talent. Really good sound!
His beard did grow up
Saskatchewan greatness right there! Sure makes this old Canadian picker proud. Stay true to your heart Colter. You’re amazing!
I’m pretty sure this song is about Robert Johnson, a guitarist who people say sold his soul to the devil even being one of the first to do so. He went to the cross roads of Highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi referencing the lyrics “I saw him driving down the 61 in early July.” One of Robert Johnson’s songs “Me and the devil blues” is supposedly one of the songs the devil played to Robert when he gave his guitar to the devil and the line “I know you I know you, young man I know you by the state of your hands You're a six string picker Just as I... I am” and “Let me learn you somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance" is somewhat relating to that I’m not sure if this is 100% about him but it seems to be
Dude, I recognized the ''story'', but couldn't figure out from where. But once I read the name , I realized.
I am almost certain that it is about Robert Johnson.
he says in an early interview that it was his inspiration
You nailed it Dude, an early 30's model Caddy The cross roads is at 61 and 49 on the Delta right outside Clarksdale. It's said that 61 was still gravel and 49 dirt when Johnson made his deal. Not sure how long ago it was now , (Peyton Manning was still playing for the University of Tennessee ) but I built a two lane overpass both North and South bound over Robert Johnson's Crossroads. Didn't make any deals while I was there.
I thought it was his own take of the devil went to Georgia kinda thing.
this my friends is an elite singer-songwriter with the just the right amount of 6-string pizazz with a rough-edged string buzz and stomping that simple bass drum - pure and uncut, darkly cool music. GREAT SONG!
Prolly will never hear this man on the radio -- too good for mainstream.
this song got me into country music a couple years ago and its all I listen to now, he is truly amazing in my opinion
Agree
Dang this young man sounds like he’s lived a thousand lives. So unique.
My uncle accidentally ran into him and Tyler Childers at a bar and he got a free backstage pass and they played a song for him😂lucky bastard
Really wish someone’d put this version on Spotify. by far my favorite version of the song
"He drove a series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip" sends shivers down my spine
Been listening to over a year and a half now and although im happy Rogan spotlighted him... it never should have taken this long for Colter to blow up.
Jesus Christ loves you u
This is infinitely better than the album version lol.
Engineer just had to show us he is an artist
I like the album better but this is raw
Hard to find this kind of talent anymore in this genre. Love this. Sounds amazing
HOW AM I JUST HEARING THIS? This is probably the best country song I've ever heard. This man can bring back the old genre if he wanted to. holy fuck
How have I never heard of this beautiful soul before!!!! His voice 😱😱💖💖 you don’t hear music like this as often anymore.... Y’all I’ve been livin under a rock because this is so under appreciated
This is how all country should sound.
I would actually listen to country if it all sounded like this.
If it all sounds the same then it is no longer special. Country needs variety or you get what we have now
The blues in this guys music is incredible. The fact that he was 22 when recorded it blows my mind. Can’t believe I’m just discovering him now.
Me: Not a cowboy in any way shape or form nor intending to be.
Colter Wall: Hold my beer.
[Verse 1]
Well Reverend, Reverend, please come quick
'Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks
Of Good Ole Miss
He drove a Series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip
[Chorus]
Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
[Verse 2]
And he said "I know you, I know you young man
"I know you by the state of your hands
"You're a six-string picker, just as I am
"Let me learn you somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance
[Chorus]
Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
[Verse 3]
Oh foolish, foolish was I
Damn my foolish eyes
'Cause that man's lessons had a price, oh sweet price
My sweet soul everlasting, a very own eternal light
[Chorus]
Don't you know that the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
Well, the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
Dear Josh Sizemore:
I’d been trying so hard to decipher the “Let me learn you somethin’” line in the first chorus! You have my thanks.
Sincerely,
Hippie Joe
@@hippiejoe3367 anytime you need lyrics go to Google.
Are you sure it’s not “tunes”?
“I know a few tunes to make all the girls dance.” Idk if it’s correct, but it seems like it should be.
I appreciate the time it takes to post the lyrics, especially when there may be a few words that are hard to decipher. I’m glad you got the Ole Miss part right.
Another poster put Old Myth.
The only other part is the ending. It sounds like he sings “eternal light”, but I’d bet it’s “eternal life”, and the way Colter sings it makes it sound like “light.” The price was his soul (eternal life).
@@Maverick.311 Lol back when "Dragula" by Rob Zombie came out long before Google, I tried to decipher the lyrics by myself, and needless to say, it doesn't say Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my "Take you there." But according to Genius it says it as I posted it. Plus I'm to damn lazy to try to decipher lyrics myself.
Josh Sizemore lol. Lol got to know he met the Devil outside Ole Miss in Oxford.
