Featured in Wall’s newest installment
of The Bunkhouse Sessions video series
Swift Current, Saskatchewan – Canadian Country and Western star Colter Wall just dropped “High & Mighty,” the final single from his upcoming, self-produced album Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs before its release on August 28th. “‘High & Mighty’ is a Saskatchewan saddle bronc song written by Lewis Martin Pederson III,” says Wall. “LMP hails from around Abbey, Saskatchewan, not far from where I grew up. He’s known for rodeoing, his poetry, and in the ’70s he put out three great records—that I know of. Saddle bronc riding is my favourite rodeo event and upon hearing Pederson’s album Rodeo No.1 Sport, I immediately knew I wanted to cut it on a record.” Fans can stream “High & Mighty” now right here.
In addition to the premiere of the studio version of “High & Mighty” Wall just released a live performance video of the song as part of his new series, “The Bunkhouse Sessions.” Shot in a bunkhouse on the ranch of Wall’s friend and actor, Beau Smith, the video features the songwriter seated by a bedroll and coffee maker just in front of Ray McGuffin and Tom Ryan paintings which hang on the plywood interior wall of the bunkhouse. Watch “High & Mighty” here and catch up on Bunkhouse Sessions episodes here.
Wall’s name has been popping up everywhere in the lead up to Western Swing & Waltzes. From underground music blogs to a feature with the legendary outdoor brand, Filson, to a broad swath of celebrity fans. Recently, comedian and podcast magnate Joe Rogan dubbed Wall “legit as f***” and NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace name-dropped Wall in his recent GQ feature. Longtime fan Jason Momoa just featured Wall’s music exclusively in a gone-viral video about restoring his wife, Lisa Bonet’s, first Ford Mustang. Needless to say, Wall’s voice and songs have attracted fans from all walks of life and his new record isn’t even out yet.
