COLTER SINGS AND WRITES SONGS IN WAYS SEEMINGLY LOST IN TIME. THERE IS AN AGELESSNESS ABOUT HIM SO UNUSUAL IN SOMEONE SO YOUNG.” —RICK RUBIN “COLTER WALL IS BAR-NONE THE BEST YOUNG SINGER SONGWRITER I’VE SEEN IN TWENTY YEARS.” —STEVE EARLE - Of the album, Wall comments, “I certainly feel like this record is far more mature than the EP in the content of the songs, stories and general sound. This record is a little more personal and most all the stories are true tales of my life.” He continues, “Dave’s a remarkable producer and equally impressive as a musician. Having both Dave the producer and Dave the player on this record felt like winning the lottery. I feel that way about everyone who played on this record. Kind of surreal really.” A native of Swift Current, Saskatchewan Canada, 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. Since debuting in 2015 with the release of his EP, Imaginary Appalachia, Wall has received overwhelming acclaim—Steve Earle declares, “Colter Wall is bar-none the best young singer-songwriter I’ve seen in twenty years,” while Rick Rubin, who recently signed Wall to his American Songs publishing company, proclaims, “Colter sings and writes songs in ways seemingly lost in time. There is an agelessness about him so unusual in someone so young.” Additionally, Rolling Stone selected him as one of “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” praising, “Sounds Like: The rough-hewn rumblings of a 21 year-old Canadian millennial armed with the weathered voice, writing chops and bushy facial hair of his 1970s country favorites.” Moreover, Wall’s song, “Sleeping On The Backtop,” was recently featured on the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated film, “Hell or High Water.” The track has gone on to garner over one million streams on Spotify.
