The fact that he is ready to move foward and make her an honest women 4.

    I love the way the intensity of his guitars playing swells in intensity in the pause between “founder her with some other lover” and “so I put three rounds into Kate McCannon”. To me, it’s like feeling the rage build inside him as he sees it. Also, there’s a point in the outro when he hits the kick drum three times. To me, that felt like a subtle nod to the shots. Colter Wall tells just as much of a story with his playing as he does with his lyrics.

    It was pure joy watching you listen to this. Because you went through all the same emotions, and reactions that I did. The first time I heard Colter Wall, RUclips was just auto-playing in the background. I was in the middle of working on something else, and this song started playing. About a minute into it, I suddenly started listening I mean really listening to it. I was shocked, that the voice was coming from this young man who was 19 at the time. I have listened to everything he has ever recorded at this point and I am now convinced he is the next Johnny Cash.

    Hey Michael im new to your channel. But i personally love "Tash Sultana" amazing looper with the guitar. You should check her out if you dont know her allready. I fell in love with her when i heared the "Jungle" song.
    Or last but not least Jack broadbent check him out. Especially the "black magic woman" song is amazing!
    You are also amazing i will keep watching your videos! I started playing when i was 30 so i im a very late starter. Im now 35 never had any lessons it goes very well so far. Learned to read tabs on the internet when i began. That helped alot. Your videos will also help me alot to get better. Thank you for you cool and awesome videos.

    I loved his use of dynamics as part of the storytelling, strumming muted strings or doing simple picking then ramping it up to full strums. Gives it a great sense of direction musically to help propel the lyrics further.

See him live if you can, amazing shows at small venues. Check out his little tune “Motorcycle”. Talk about great story telling and references to Arlo Guthrie.

    @coreyprevatt5960 4 года назад

    Back in the older country it was kinda popular to write a return song. ex). Kitty Wells with “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels”. A singer songwriter named Brittany Avery wrote a return song to Kate McCannon. It’s called “My Name is Kate McCannon”. Pretty much tells Kate McCannons part of the story. W.B Walker pitched her the idea and she put a lot of work into that song. She did an amazing job on the lyrics. And if you haven’t heard of W.B. Walkers Old Soul Radio Show you need to go check that out as well.
