Many, many years ago my old friends like Chris Miller and W.B.Walker began these things called podcasts. They brought forth a plethora of new bands and artists from all over the world. That is where I found this young man from Canada, his bass player Jason Simpson and I have been friends for a long time since he played with John King And The Mud River Revival in the local scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the many years of his music journey I had the pleasure to watch his growth and his passionate love of Traditional Country Music evolve into a true juggernaut. There have been many festivals that I have also had the opportunity to see him and spend time with him. This new album is going to be just as amazing as his others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories and Empties <\/em>is out on November 14th via La Honda Records and RCA Records; On-sale for new January tour dates begins tomorrow at 10 AM Local<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle Creek, Saskatchewan – September 25, 2025 – Throughout Colter Wall<\/strong>\u2019s career, the Saskatchewan-raised songwriter\u2019s gravelly, baritone voice has been a soundtrack for hard work, getting through, and good times despite it all for fans worldwide. With his upcoming LP, <\/strong>Memories and Empties<\/em><\/strong>\u2014<\/em>out November 14th <\/strong>on La Honda Records and RCA Records\u2014Wall\u2019s delivery and intention may have never been more straightforward. Carrying the torch of traditional country music\u2019s legacy beyond Nashville\u2019s commercial influence, Memories and Empties<\/em> was recorded at Music City\u2019s hallowed RCA Studio A <\/strong>in the same room that Waylon Jennings cut Honky Tonk Heroes, <\/em>Merle Haggard and The Strangers cut parts of Hag, <\/em>and Willie Nelson recorded countless tunes. Memories and Empties <\/em>adds on to Studio A’s history, highlighting the disparity between the Nashville of then and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Wall<\/strong> and his trusted on-stage and in-studio collaborator Pat Lyons<\/strong>, joined by their Scary Prairie Boys<\/strong> touring band brothers, this new collection of drinking songs and blue collar stories is tailor-made for the honky tonks, barrooms, porches, and pickups it will soon be inhabiting\u2014all deeply inspired by that 1970s era of country music that still permeates early breakfasts at the diner before work and late Saturday nights that bleed into Sunday mornings. A record of relationships, the throughline of this 10-song collection is the exploration of the many ways in which humans are connecting: whether that be to people, to the natural world, to time, to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in a time when critics and industry collide about what country music sounds like, Wall leaves no room for interpretation. Though his songs might not be heard on today’s country radio stations, they are as country as country can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans can stream or purchase the album\u2019s first single, \u201c1800 Miles,\u201d at midnight tonight, September 25, at this <\/strong>link<\/a>,<\/strong> and pre-order or pre-save <\/strong>Memories and Empties <\/em><\/strong>right <\/strong>here<\/a>.<\/strong> Vinyl pressings include two 180g versions, a standard and a deluxe version.
