VOICE COACH REACTS | Colter Wall... THE DEVIL WEARS A SUIT AND TIE. this... just... huh? 

Joe rogan contacted colter and invited him on his podcast. Colters reply was, and I quote “ I’m on a cattle drive, call me in the spring” true grit!

"bang, someone’s dead type of story" *THE MCCANNONS HAVE JOINED THE CHAT**

He sounds like he’s spent 60 years smoking cigars and drinking whiskey on a porch swing and it’s wonderful

This young man and Tyler Childers are who is saving the country music genre. Awesome reaction!

Gotta watch his cover of “Cow Poke.” He has impressive range in it.

I could watch people being introduced to him for the first time for the rest of my life

hes a rancher in canada not just a musician. It reflects in his music and makes it very enjoyable

He’s loosely telling the story of Robert Johnson who sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in the night in exchange for amazing guitar skills. If I remember right Robert was also the first member of the 27 club

I love that EVERYONE has that same reaction when they hear his voice. 😂

Love this guy’s music. “Sleeping on the blacktop” is one where he is a bit more energetic and higher in his vocal range.

I have spent at least 3 entire days of my life just watching people’s reactions to hearing Colter’s voice for the 1st time. When I’ve turned friends on to colter I make them watch a video, not just audio. It’s always jaw dropping. It brings me so much joy

He really has grown into his voice and it is much more relaxed and comfortable now. This was recorded a number of years ago and while all the songs from this session are great he was not as happy with the session. Try anything from Colter and it will be good but there is definitely a vocal quality difference from these earlier sessions and current performances.

He has improved considerably, more than just a deep voice now. Looks very relaxed

This is basically a re-telling of the old Robert johnson Crossroads story, Selling his soul to the devil for the ability to play guitar. Also the movie of the same name with Ralph Macchio.

If you want his "Bang! Someone's dead!" song...then you'll have to check out his song "Original 16 Brewery Sessions - Kate McKannon"

Saw him live a few years ago with my kiddos. They (he preformed with a group at our concert) sent out security after to come get us and brought all of us backstage to meet them, talked with the kids & took photos, signed some merch and even gifted them some merch too. He & all of them that night were beyond kind and amazing! It meant the world to us, Colter Wall and The Dead South *they're from the same area in Canada, who we also met & they even called our kids to lift their spirits when theyve been in the hospital due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome* are both amazing musicians and amazing people!

His cover of Freaulein with Tyler Childers is so amazing

Absolutely love that you've found Colter Wall! At some point, you should also react to his track 'Kate McCannon'. He brings back the murder ballad with that one, and it's a real kick in the teeth in a good way.

Have you ever watched the thick oily smoke from a cigar twist and drift in the still humid air and you can't help but be completely mesmerized by it? Well, that's this song...

Super cool. No set up, fancy dance moves. A one man band with a very unique and genuine sound. Extremely raw. You don’t get that much these days

Try his “Kate McCannon“ from the same session-

best vocal coach reaction video ive seen to one of his songs, u go into the actual techniques and skills. good shit

This song chugs along like a damn frieght train, slowing down and building up, stomping through a Louisiana swampland beneath the afternoon summer sun.

I absolutely love seeing the face of people when his voice bellows out, it’s so unexpected to hear from his stature, it’s like he is Johnny Cash’s illegitimate son lol I heard him at a friends and like instantly bought his album.

Colter wall is like a bloodhound singing baritone, and it’s absolutely perfect

This is one of the best reactions to this i've seen. You have some really insightful analysis on the mechanics of his vocals

Wow! What a fascinating introduction to this incredible voice. Definitely makes me want to hear more too. Great reaction, truly informative!

I'm liking that you've covered more Canadian artists on your channel 😊 Thanks for showing love to our homegrown talented bunch 🇨🇦

Julia I just found you’re video, and I have to say I love the way you add text walls into the video instead of pausing constantly. Then you go back and explain and go into more depth into the text wall. Love it. Keep killing it!

Love having you back doing more reactions. Missed you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!, this young man (he was all of 19 when he recorded this) gives me hope for a traditional style of country western music. Your analysis again adds something to a performance I've been enjoying (Thank you again). Yes with that smokey voice I think he could cure a ham just by singing to it. Delightful as always lovely lady.

Love actually hearing breakdowns with concise phrasing. Great job

I seen Colter in a small bar in Charleston, WV here in the US. Had no clue who he was and I had the same first reaction. Wasn't prepared for that voice coming from that body

His song Kate McKannon is a great one and so is Sleeping On the Blacktop

There is a song called Cowpoke where he uses his higher registers. Also a very nice "cowboy" song. Take care out there :)

She was ready to risk it all when he started singing

Best timing ever. Found you just today and i was thinking that you should react to Colter Wall. And here it is :D

Love watching people hear Colter for the first time. Your breakdown is awesome.

Best Christmas present ever!! Thank you.

Hey Julia. Love your videos. I'm not really a musical person, but seeing your reaction to "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed introduced me to your channel. I just wanted to mention that your genuineness, your insight, your humour, your expressions, your clever use of captions to not flood the songs with pauses, your voice and your accent all come together to make (IMHO) the perfect reaction videos. Wishing you all the subs, views and luck in the world. Stay safe. Stay healthy

Love this song and your reaction. The small details are amazing in both song and reaction.

I've had the privilege of seeing Colter live twice now. First time on New Years Eve, very good live show.

Love the technical jargon referencing his epiglottis, soft pallet and dangly thing at the back of his throat 🤪. Awesome vid as always mate, looking forward to the next one 👍.

What a wonderful reaction video.....the storytelling take you really in to the scene.

I think he said lately he hasn't been pushing his voice as much, so his sound has changed a bit, but still great. You should find any of his bunkhouse sessions or even his version of "bury me not on the lone prairie." A little more range and great story telling songs.

Wow!, I only just found your channel!... I am an Aussie too, and have been playing professionally in the metal/hard rock touring circuit for over 10 years now. I am making a change towards outlaw country, and Colter Wall is a big part of influencing me to go for my full potential!. It's cool to find your channel, I follow many vocal coaches on youtube and its cool to see an Aussie. STAY TRUE

Cool review of Colter. I am from the same province in Canada and I wasn't a huge fan at first but he's grown on me lots. I just listened to an interview with Colter on "The Converse Cowboy" on youtube and Colter remarked that his singing voice has been changing because (his words) "Hes actually learning to sing now" and before he was "mostly growling into the mic" (which was well received also). Thanks for featuring our Sasky boy.

allways makes me laugh when people are shocked by his voice XD

This is a really great discovery, Thanks Julia

Love this song of his, impressive that he was around 19-20 years old when he did this as well! Love for you to react to Hozier's take me to church when he performed it in the subway in NYC that was something special!

I've been asking for a reaction to this for two years, thank you for the time, other reactors passed

That’s the exact same reaction I had when I first saw where that voice came from. Love him.

I love how you actually break down the different ways and techniques...

Your analysis of this performance blows my mind. You have a way of listening and articulating what you hear that reveals vocal aspects heretofore hidden from my experience. Thank you, ma'am. Nonetheless the breadth and depth of this man's knowledge of blues as demonstrated in this song is impressive. This is what happens when Robert Johnson meets Johnny Cash at the Crossroads.

More Colter Wall!!!! his story telling abilities in his songs are top notch.

I listened to this man for years and never saw his face. Then I watch the brewery videos and I was like 😶🫤🫣🥵

Please do more songs like this! Love your reaction!

"The little dangly thing at the back of your throat." - the uvula. LoL. This sounded like something you might hear in a Quentin Tarantino film. Not my genre at all but enjoyable none the less.

I would also recommend some of the other songs from this session like "sleeping on the blacktop" and "Kate McCannon" (a murder ballad) or his cover of "Cowpoke" or "Snake Mountain Blues". Also Tyler Childer's "Nose on the Grindstone"

Love your channel

This artist/song is so good! I remember one of the TCV-crowd put in this for a request-vote months back. Still hasn't made it. I upvoted it, but not enough did, maybe. I'm VERY pleased to see/hear someone of the serious voice coach reacts-crowd (the good ones aren't that many) give it the appreciation it deserves. I'm just 2:48 in, so I'll just dive back and listen and check your comments :-)

Always enjoyed his music

Colter wall sleeping on the black top is a crazy one he explores higher tones 👌

Colter Wall is one of my favorite artists, definitely my favorite in the country scene! You'll probably see a lot of recommendations for "Sleeping on the Blacktop" and "Kate McCannon". Both are great songs, but are from roughly the same time as this was recorded (He was about 20). If you want to hear his voice as it has matured, I would recommend "Bob Fudge" - Live From the Back Pasture.

Legend has it that her downstairs mixup is still leaking after hearing Colters first "well"

Nice series Julia! Gives me the chance to discover new music.

God I absolutely love his imperfections/grit, ironically it makes the song imo perfect

I'd recommend listening to his newer stuff and studio stuff, strictly because he has said he felt these live versions in particular were forced and he is embarrassed by them, so check out some of his newer stuff and some of his other covers. Great reaction and insight though!

Don't forget hes also not in an actual performing space he's in a warehouse surrounded by a bunch of cans his music is amazing

“Thinking On A Woman” probably displays his range better than most of his other songs

Happy reunion is another great one

Kate mckannon- colter wall is by far my favorite song of his. Great voice in this song

If you enjoyed this with the coordination to play guitar along with a kick drum you should check out Shakey Graves - Roll the bones

Wow, I loved this! Normally I"m not a fan of this type of music but this was excellent. Whoa!..

Ah yess! So glad you did this one. In regard to songs that use higher register, there's maybe "Cowpoke" or "The Trains Are Gone" For fun you might like "Wild Dogs" which has a weird dark spacey western sound or "Bald Butte" which sounds like it could be a movie

Colter was only about 21-22 when this video was done! Very young for such an aged voice!

boy could smoke a brisket with that voice

This song is based on a southern superstition around Highway 61. Supposedly, the devil himself travels the road looking for people to trick into signing a contract that provides them with musical talent in exchange for their immortal soul. This superstition is a key piece of American Blues lore. There is a statue in the area known as The Crossroads( where Highway 49 crosses Highway 61 in Mississippi)that commemorates this superstition. And there is also a film called "The Crossroads" about it.

It'a a great time to love music. Tyler Childers, Ray Scott, Sturgill Simpson, Billy Strings, Colter Wall. All the true musicians, none on a major label, none supported by mainstream. But thanks to the internet and social media, all easy to access and support now.

I'd love to watch you react to Shawn James. He's got a great bluesy voice and a ton of power and grit behind it.

He did a cover of big iron by Marty Robbins that I absolutely love

Love Colter wall he’s amazing!!

It does not matter how you describe it it all works out to,, the guy is really good! Extremely talented and blessed with a voice that is all his own.

I mixed Coulter around when he recorded this at a small club in Edmonton. Super gig

i love watching people find his music

I dont go searching for "vocal coaches" reacting but I've run across a lot that say they're a vocal coach. Theres 2 off the top of my head, one is an opera singer (actually I dont know if she coaches) and another, her knowledge is obvious. I dont doubt for a second that you know what you're talking about by how you break things down and thats refreshing to see; a vocal coach not be stuck for words on what to say is great.

Good ol' Saskatchatoon boy, great fella, real nice and down to earth

I highly recommend listening to Transcendent Rambling Railroad Blues. It's by far his best written song and just washes over you with its tone. His version of Cooper shows more vocal range, as do a lot more of his modern songs

Sleeping on the Blacktop is my favorite song by Mr. Wall. Fricking amazing. Sincerely worth checking out.

His live version of "Saskatchewan in 1881", "Cowpoke", or "Rocky Mountain Rangers". All wonderful songs. His live version of "Saskatchewan in 1881" from Behind the Lines RU-vid channel also has him speaking at the beginning.

"The Whistler" by Great White Buffalo. That song is haunting

I would definitely recommend listening to his cover of Cowpoke. His voice sounds so much more comfortable and fine tuned. He's said in recent interviews that he is kind of embarrassed how forced his vocals are in the Brewery Sessions. I still enjoy them but I love how he has settled in to his voice nowadays.

Love the kick drum, as well.

"Did I fall in a well . . ." Yes, yes you did. 🙂

I like this young man. He could have a long future in music. If you really want a powerful dark song. May a recommend 2 of the last songs created by the Man in Black. (Johnny Cash) They are God's Gonna Cut You Down and The Man Comes Around. I would enjoy hearing your react to either of these songs. On a much brighter note. Congratulations on reaching 101 subscribers.

He's an Awesome Canadian Man !!!

Good Evening Ms Nilon, Will definitely be listening to more Colter Wall. Very well done. If you like bluesy country grit, might want to check out Chris Stapleton with his latest drop, "Cold ". He's a Kentucky boy that can really lay it down. He has others, but if you like this one, you will find them. You obviously do your homework. Was very impressed with your analysis of JC's cover of "Hurt", as well as Ms Zharoff's. You are both well educated, experienced, professional and articulate. Out of a hundred reactor channels l have checked out, l am subscribed at only two. Good Evening to you, CL

I'm glad he's finally getting on peoples' radars.

Hi from New Zealand!

"Kate McCannon" and "Saskatchawan in 1882" are 2 of his best. Love Colter's laid back style and story telling vocal.
