Critic Reviews
Show All-
Saving Country Music
Colter Wall’s authentic, rugged expressions and rich voice so compliment, caretake, and elevate what we thought were archaic themes with little appeal, it has awakened a renewed interest and vitality in the cowboy themes that are so critical to the foundations of country music, proving once again that country and Western doesn’t need to conform to be cool. It just needs to be itself, and to be championed by natural talent.

AP News
Some songs resemble demos recorded in a tack room, but even then, Wall’s singing sounds sonorous. Here’s a vote for the album’s vinyl version to fully appreciate that unvarnished, vibrant vibrato.

Americana Highways
Wall sings these songs in such a way that you can’t help but appreciate his storytelling, and his obvious grasp of western music. And of course you can’t help but appreciate his voice, which provides a richness to every song.

Stack
With classic country sounds of steel and acoustic guitars, fiddle, and a sure and steady rhythm, Wall sings with sincere and intense conviction songs old and new. Enjoy the ride.

The Reviews Are In
When I listen to Western Swing Waltzes, it makes me long for horses and open fields. It takes me back to times with my mom, listening to Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, and Jimmy Dean. That place, in my memories, is a good place.

Pitchfork
The Canadian country singer trades his solitary fare for a new set of stories, and a backing band that cuts in and out like a dance partner.

Complete Country
It isn’t often we hear a young artist sing about old western swing and cowboys, or deliver a sound like Wall does, but he sure is nailing it. The 320 million + streams already under his belt prove it too! Wall’s distinct style and raw tones truly separate him from today's every day country singer; so sit back and enjoy a refreshing, old-school ride!
