Info for Little Songs
Cowboy & Western revivalist, and Canadian-based baritone singer Colter Wall is getting ready to release a new album. Called Little Songs and out on July 14th, the new album finds Colter Wall continuing to mature into his role as a force for the revitalization of Western music by paying tribute to past greats and the compositions they’ve left behind, while attempting to contribute to the canon of Western songs with his own expressions, taken expressly from his personal experiences.
“These songs were written over the last three years. I penned most of them from home and I think the songs reflect that.” (Colter Wall)
“Tequila won’t get you across that desert / To Evangelina in old Mexico,” sings the rich Canadian baritone of Colter Wall in his brand new tune, “Evangelina.” The song, originally written and recorded by Hoyt Axton, paints a thirsty picture of longing and half-laid plans to chase down a lost love; all backed up by a band steeped in the traditional sounds of Wall’s prairie homelands.
“Evangelina” is the first release from Wall’s upcoming album, Little Songs which is due out on July 14th via Wall’s longtime label La Honda Records and new partner RCA Records. On Little Songs, fans of Wall’s will find the same hardscrabble voice they’ve loved over the years connecting the contemporary world to the values, hardships, and celebrations of rural life. From the titular track he sings, “You might not see a soul for days on them high and lonesome plains. You got to fill the big empty with little songs.” The ten-song LP features eight originals inspired by—and written in—Wall’s home of Battle Creek, Saskatchewan, along with the aforementioned Axton cut and a cover of Ian Tyson’s “The Coyote & The Cowboy.”
Fans can hear “Evangelina” today at this link and pre-order or pre-save Little Songs ahead of its July 14th release right here. Wall is also gearing up for two rare live appearances at Denver’s Dusty Bootsfestival on July 1st and Montana’s Under The Big Sky on July 14th.

More About Little Songs: With his longtime touring band, Wall returned to Yellowdog Studios in Wimberly, Texas, where he cut his 2020, Billboard-charting album, Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs, to track the ten tunes that make up Little Songs. With co-producer Patrick Lyons, Wall tracked eight original songs and two fan-favorite covers from Ian Tyson and Hoyt Axton. Little Songs is an upbeat, sometimes somber glimpse into the rural work and social life of the Canadian West, and, more so than with previous albums, opens emotional turns as mature and heartening as the resonant baritone voice writing them.
