  • Up and coming Saskatchewan songwriter Colter Wall stopped by recently to pay us a visit. Looking for something with an antique flavor, Wall borrowed this killer 1937 Martin 00-17 for his show that evening at City Winery with Billy Joe Shaver.
    Colter Wall is a young Saskatchewan born songwriter and performing musician. Steeped in Old Timey material and traditional Americana, Wall's sound is comprised of resonate and raw baritone vocals, Folk and Bluegrass style guitar and banjo picking, steady kick-drum stomping, and visually provoking, story telling lyrics. Wall Draws influence from legends of the past such as Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Townes Van Zandt, and The Band, as well as more modern Americana pioneers including Shovels and Rope, Jack White, Ray Lamontagne, and Shakey Graves. Despite only recently beginning his musical career, Colter Wall has been seen in the company of Saskatchewan's infamous gritty bluegrass trailblazers,The Dead South. Wall has had the opportunity to open for The Dead South on several occasions with more show's upcoming. In addition to racking up memorable live shows across the province, Wall is planning on releasing an EP in the summer of 2015 and has been busy recording at Regina's own Studio One. From dive bars to fundraiser galas, Colter Wall has a history of leaving audiences in shock at the maturity of his voice as well as his songwriting. His style of playing took to the Martin like a bird to the wind. Check out this impromptu, one take/one mic performance of his new track "Motorcycle"

    Why isn't anyone talking about this guys song writing ability? This is a fun song of his, but seriously. He's an amazing writer. And most of his songs are story telling. Its more folk than country but his sound leans him in the country direction. Fuck he's talented.

      A bit late but it’s got the thumb in the bass on the G# (F# w/o capo) so it’s an E/G# (or capoless D/F#) and it appears he plays a hammer on and ignores the high E string G# (F#)

    • @katsrevenge
      @katsrevenge 6 лет назад +1

      Figured it has to do with the tradition of pouring out an alcoholic drink for the dead, by pouring it on the ground or the tombstone.

    • @Jellestraatsma
      @Jellestraatsma 6 лет назад

      Faye M. Thanks. Its just kind of an awkward line that way right? Was kind of hoping something would explain the wierd phrasing.

    • @kickerpunter
      @kickerpunter 6 лет назад +7

      "Follow my feet down to Music Row, pour it on the pavement like you would a tombstone." An old tradition is pouring a shot of alcohol on someone's grave as a sign of respect and remembrance. Music Row used to be full of great and honest musicians making real music. Now, its all filled with manufactured pop stars pretending to be country being told by record companies what to wear and what to sing. Music Row is dead so he's pouring out a shot like you would a tombstone.

      [Chorus]
      Well, I figure I'll buy me a motorcycle
      Wrap her pretty little frame around a telephone pole
      Ride her off a mountain like old Arlo
      Figure I'll buy me a motorcycle
      [Verse 1]
      Well, I figure I'll walk to the liquor store
      Thunderbird, two bottles
      Maybe three, maybe four
      Follow my feet down the Music Row
      Pour it on the pavement like you would a tombstone
      Like you would a tombstone
      Like you would a tombstone
      Pour it on the pavement like you would a tombstone
      [Verse 2]
      Well, I figure I'm weary of feeling this way
      Pop another pill, hop another train
      Tell my brothers and my sisters that it's keeping me sane
      Figure I'm weary of feeling this way
      [Chorus]
      Well, I figure I'll buy me a motorcycle
      Wrap her pretty little frame around a telephone pole
      Ride her off a mountain like old Arlo
      Figure I'll buy me a motorcycle
      Figure I'll buy me a motorcycle
