New Artist - New Release

 

For Immediate Release— 

Colter Wall’s Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs 

Self-produced, 3rd full-length album out August 28th via La Honda Records/Thirty Tigers 

First track “Western Swing & Waltzes” out now 

June 16, 2020 - Swift Current, Saskatchewan - The music industry is no stranger to cowboys—but it’s been a long while since any with an authentic affinity for the North American West came along and carried around a love for heroes like Ramblin’ Jack Elliot and Ian Tyson. Enter 24-year-old Colter Wall, whose dusty baritone voice and deep well of stories are almost single-handedly carrying traditional western music into the future. Wall’s approach is that of a preservationist, pure as the prairie wind, and is on full display on his new self-produced album Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs. Available from La Honda Records/Thirty Tigers on August 28th, Wall’s 10-track ode to the themes and labors of western life picks up where his last album left off, with a reverence for his “working cowboy kin” and a whole mess of cowboy songs. Fans can pre-order Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs here and listen to the album’s first track, “Western Swing & Waltzes,” here.  

Along the Blanco River bank, outside the small town of Wimberley, Wall rounded up his band, hot off a North American tour, to lay down these ten new songs at Yellow Dog Studios, deep in the heart of Texas. From his previous recording sessions with Dave Cobb at the helm, Wall began to take in what it meant to produce a record; the decision making, risk-taking, and band-leading all learned along the way. With Western Swing & Waltzes, it was Wall’s turn to take the reigns. His band. His choices. And the finished product is diverse and effortlessly cool, with an extra log or two on the fire.  

Songs like “High & Mighty,” cowboy poet and rancher Lewis Martin Pederson III’s ode to a legendarily tough bronco, showcase Wall’s well-curated and hard-working touring band—Patrick Lyons (pedal steel, dobro, mandolin), Jake Groves (harmonica), Jason Simpson (bass), and Aaron Goodrich (drums); joined by Emily Gimble on piano and Doug Moreland on fiddle—while others like Wall-penned “Talkin’ Prairie Boy” feature just Wall’s voice and guitar. However arranged, there’s an earnestness to these songs, roughly half of them written by Wall and half by Wall’s direct influences and fellow purveyors of honest, hard-earned tunes for the prairie and beyond.  

About the album, Wall said, “these songs are punchier than I am.” Giving credit where credit is due however, Wall is no slouch on the ranch. As any new cattleman would, he adds to his herd, as he does his musical legacy with Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs.

    I’ve loved Colters music for almost 5 years now and have yet to be disappointed by anything he’s made. I’ve also heard him do 8/10 of these songs live and I’m so excited to for this album!

    I had the chance to discovered Colter as soon as his last record company sent me demo in 2017 and as we say in France : "I fall on my ass''. Was he the unkown son of Johnny Cash? More authentic it is impossible. So far from what Nashville, Tennessee produced, he can stand proudly by the side of Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson and other raw artists that did not sold their soul to money. My deepest congratulations Colter to offer us such brilliant songs and words. I will be honor to review your last album in my magazine.

    Never heard of Colter Wall, maybe not a fan of his genre of music. I like music with an upbeat tempo, because when I play games, I want that kind of music to be playing in the background. But the game [url=https://among-us.io/]Among Us[/url] doesn't need one, as it has a cool background music already. This game is so much fun to play because of the music and it's cool gameplay. Try it, I'm sure you'll love it. Download it for free, check it on this [url=https://games.lol/among-us/]link[/url].
