Western Swing & Waltzes And Other Punchy Songs

Colter Wall, a Canadian singer who made a career out of folk songs and old westerns, released his third album as a follow-up to his 2018 work Songs of the Plains. The album includes original songs Talkin' Prairie Boy and Houlihans at the Holiday Inn, as well as classic pieces like I Ride an Old Paint and Big Iron.

Dave Cobb, who produced Songs of the Plains, aimed to record the songs in a way that resembled stories shared around a campfire by travelers after a long journey. In the new album, Wall takes the reins of control himself. He leaves plenty of space in the mixes so the music doesn't overshadow his voice. Musicians at times join Wall as dance partners. Sometimes, as if by chance, a door creaks and conversations are heard, as if at a concert, further enhancing the charm of the group's live music.
