UK REACTION to COLTER WALL - COWPOKE!! | The 94 Club 

Hi all, a question for anyone that stumbles across this. Could you do me a favour by letting me know which state or country your based in or just your time zone and what time you're most likely to watch my videos? Just working out if I could find a better upload time to suit you all!

Hi from Texas. He’s doing a lot of old songs that literally were written on cattle drives in the 1800’s. Don Edwards and Ian Tyson are a couple older guys who used to keep these songs alive. He’s doing an excellent job of carrying the torch.

Hello from Texas (San Antonio). My forebears, John, William and Abner "Ab" Blocker were cattlemen who drove their cattle north to Kansas and Montana from Texas. This song is an ode to the cattlemen and the yodeling that was used by those cowboys who could sing as a means to steady their herds. The cattle were calmed by the tender yodels and the familiar voice of the men they knew.

That noise he makes is his cow call. It goes with the name of cow poke. Cow pokes work with cattle and the cow poke in the story has moved from ranch to ranch and that’s his freedom. Cool thing about this story is it represents the passed and present cowboys.

You should check out Colter's cover of Big Iron! It was originally sung by Marty Robins

Colter lives what he writes, he's amazing!

The lyrics are saying he’s rich in freedom and above all else that’s more important than money or the like

This is the best music reaction channel I have found. Thanks man, you get a sub.

His voice is so haunting on the high notes. If you watch some recent interviews he has worked on learning how to use his voice better now and improved his range. I love side of his voice too.

Amazing video! Next song you gotta do is 13 silver dollars by him...Cowpoke is just another word for cowboy and the song is originally by Eddy Arnold in the early 50's

I would love to see you react to "Bald Butte" By Colter if you get a chance love the channel keep up the good work.

Seeing other people in the UK listening to colter, Tyler, john Moreland and just country in general is so good to see! This genre is so overlooked in the UK and stereotyped so incorrectly. People are really missing out! You should also check out John Moreland - Break My Heart Sweetly - Ian

This is Western music at its finest. Colter is truly in his element here. I love his latest album, that is nothing but this kind of stuff. I am from Utah, USA (Mountain time zone). New sub. 🤘🏻❤️

What's crazy Joe Rogan called Colter to come on the podcast and Colter told Joe call me back in the spring I'm on a cattle drive haha this dudes an awesome old soul

Is he even human? This is just lovely.

bob fudge by colter is a great one.

how can a canadian be so american lol just amazing voice

This guy is so good. Truly a breathe of fresh air. " Saskatchewan " Portland Ore. No we're not all left. I keep getting out voted but I still try !

13 Silver Dollars and Caroline. My two Colter favourites. And, hey, looks like someone's been playing that jumbo (capo's moved), ha! Nice.

Colorado USA! Love your channel!

Colter is one of the few guys that can cover anything and make it sound just as good or better

Awesome song first came out in the 50’s colter does it amazingly well, he’s got a way of wailing it through the soul, by far my favorite version. Try his song Happy Reunion. From Fort Worth, Tx Unusually catch a video around lunch every couple days or so.

its good to see someone from my home province shine so bright. so much talent here

This is a really good cover by Colter Wall. Loved it, but then I've really liked most of what I've heard him do. Another artist you might want to check out, especially if you like a bit of humor added to your music along with the messages, is Hayes Carll. I've been listening to him for a while now and he always puts me in a good mood.

Oh that deep resonating voice...I just love this guy!

Love your reviews! Love Colter! Cracks me up how bad the closed captioning is on you two guys! They get about 20% of what Colter says correct, and 50% of yours! Saskatchewan 1891 is the first song I heard of his,amd it freaked me out. Sentimental favorite for that first feeling he gave me. The clip on youtube is from a radio station, and he was 19 at the time, and the closest things to Johnny Cash I've heard in awhile.

Jason boland and the stragglers is a great band

I'm always happy to see you upload man, awesome reactions by you

Everyone says he sounds like Johnny Cash and I get that but to me he Sounds like Red Steagal. Love them both and am so beyond happy I’ve found Colter.

The “northern Montana” joke they make at the beginning is a shot at his homeland, Saskatchewan sayings it’s nothing more than just northern Montana. He jabs back with “speaking of Wyoming” lol I’ve met a Colter a few times at shows and he really is a genuine guy and is a lot of fun to be around. He hung out with us outside of a show in Asheville NC for several hours one night just talking music.

Hey Clubster, Jimbo here, to go on a waffle inspired by your reaction to Colter's cowpoke. The tune was originally written and performed by Stan Jones. A shit ton of country artists have recorded the tune, Eddy Arnold and Hank Williams Junior both nailed it. The includes a vocal technique called yodeling. Coulter wrote a song called thirteen silver dollars that references the father of country music, Jimmie Rodgers, who recorded blue yodel number 9. Clearly, Coulter has studied the Master's. Fun fact, Johnny Cash and Louis Armstrong recorded blue yodel number 9 in the 70's and can be found on RU-vid. Jimmie Rodgers and Louis Armstrong had performed the tune in the 1930s. Johnny could not yodel worth a shit but he nailed the performance, along with Satchmo. Shows the influence of blues and jazz in country music. Profoundly beautiful.

Seriously though, do Rather Low by Nick Shoulders. You'll love it

If you want a fun and interesting listen I’d say listen to some nick shoulders, guys a character, flatland Calvary is also really good

I was in the midst of making a comment, during the premiere, and blink, it was gone. Oh, well. I like the covers that Colter does, he does a fantastic cover of the Red Headed Stranger, but his original songs, really are the stand out.

Thanks for the shout out man! I enjoy introducing people to this world of country music. Looking forward to expanding this channel!

Had to sub

That little mini-yodel Colter does hearkens back to Jimmie Rodgers. Jimmie worked on the railroads in the 1920's and was exposed to black workers who played the blues. Jimmie borrowed heavily from the blues, but added some other elements, including the yodeling. He is generally considered the father of country music. Here is some rare video of him from the 1930's. T For Texas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qEIBmGZxAhg.html

for Colter Wall i suggest you watch either "bob fudge" or "sleeping on the blacktop" next, i also suggest Kassi Valazza's "johny dear"

Cowpoke. A cowboy you works free range cattle.

okay, cowpoke is sort of a nickname I guess for a cowboy. It's generally used to refer to someone who may be old and/or being a cowboy is all they know. It can be used in the context of either "oh that's an old cowpoke right there" or "he's just some cowpoke" or even a combination of the two. The whole song is describing a cowpoke. The part that says "I'm rich but I'm broke" isn't as philosophical to reference rich in time, it's the dilemma that ranchers have always faced. To invest in cattle, you're dumping all of your money into these animals that then become your assets, and if it was a vehicle you'd be rich, but cattle (especially back in the day where cattle rustling was a common occurrence) are unpredictable animals that could die or get lost/stolen very easily, so you never count them as money to spend before you've actually sold them. So in a sense you're technically rich, but really because you can't depend as much on the investment, you only have as much money as you've got. Cows have always been a hard thing to invest in, so normally you don't have much spending money left, since its sort of all-in if you want the best chance at making your money back. The part "So I'll pick up a ten-spot in Prescott I know, riding the broncs in the big rodeo" is the thing that fed the rodeo culture back then. it was a cowboys gambling game. Because he's referring to being low on funds at the beginning of the verse, he's saying that he'll go to the rodeo Prescott he knows, so he's been there before. Pick up a ten-spot is saying he'll enter in a draw for a horse, and whatever bronc he draws, he'll know how it bucks already and be able to ride it better and win more easily. He'll also know what kind of competition is frequent there and what chances he has of winning. My grandpa used to do the same thing back then when they were low on money. Okay know that I've written a huge essay on it, I hope this helped lol

Colter Wall suggestions: Cowpoke, Saskatchewan 1881, Motorcycle, Fraulein Tyler Childers: Feathered Indians, Follow you to Virgie, Gemini, Born Again, and Creeker Sturgill Simpson: Living the Dream, Voices, The Dead Don't Die, The Storm, Life Ain't Fair (Live), You can have the crown/Some days (Live at the Sun king Brewery) Brent Cobb: Down in the Gulley, Digging holes, Black Creek

Now this is my first time hearing this. I never cared for his music much because of the way he carried himself. Totally different then the way Tyler carried himself. But this song gained my respects. Nice vid

I'm in the US in Florida, which is in the Eastern Time Zone. I think I'm 6 hours behind you.

It's about Freedom brother

Colter wall could sing anyone's song and I would prefer his version over the original

Yes and welcome .... let's get ur boiiii

If you want something in a similar style and voice recommend "Bob Fudge" from the Back Pasture live and "When the work's all done this fall" live from Pickathon.

Most people who react immediately say he sounds like Johnny Cash but I think he sounds more like Marty Robins. You can especially hear it when he sings Big Iron.

Not sure if you’ve already reacted to it but you should react to Fraulein by Colter.....it’s also got Tyler Childers on it

Its miraculous

Another old cowboy song that Colter preforms an outstanding cover of is "I Ride an Old Paint / Leavin' Cheyenne." It's an American folk song that dates back roughly to the 1920s. You can find a great version here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uLpmLCzYBjw.html. Also, his song "Plain to See Plainsman" is a really sweet ballad about him being homesick while on tour. There's a good version over on the GemsOnVHS RU-vid channel, which has a nice mix of country artists in general. Also, since you like Colter, you might also enjoy Corb Lund. I highly recommend his songs "Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier," "The Truth Comes Out," and "Never Not Had Horses." Always enjoy seeing your videos pop up on my recommendations! Keep up the great work!

Lonesome but happy ( all alone in the range but happy) Rich but I’m broke ( Rich because he’s on the range living life to fullest but no money)

Check out Whitey Morgan and the 78’s a badass honkey tonk style band

Little white lines -highway 55

please God, let the US go back to these days.

Should react to ben caplan, down by the river

when ever you talk i just imagine ALI G

The original is done by Hank Williams Jr. I believe

He smokes cigarettes so in 3 years I’d assume that those would affect his vocal cords
