I'm [G] learning a lot from you guys and some of the recommendations you guys make are like ridiculously good.
Like I never would have heard of these people unless you'd recommended them.
So thank you for that.
_ _ Colter Wall's song Sleeping on the Blacktop _ _ from the Brewery Sessions.
This was in a movie.

You guys will probably know by heart.
But it's from his 2015 _ album Imaginary Appalachia _ and it was recommended by BS Detector.
Bullshit detector but shorten it.

And Colter's a Canadian.

_ What do you even say to that?
I mean, I, one, I don't even, I have, don't know what it's about. _ _
But I mean, there's obviously the girl.
I mean, coyote chewing on a cigarette.
I don't even know what that's referring to.
I mean, are these like _ colloquialisms, like expressions? _
Sleeping on the blacktop?
Does that mean something?
That was an expression I've never heard.
_ _ Or is it literal?
You know, was there like a car accident and someone's dying?
But then somebody was going through the woods and in the next town.
The corn liquor tastes sweeter here or better here.
_ And he says, but he made reference _ to like, I don't know whose will be done.
Which is a reference to like, I think the Lord's Prayer.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
All that.
So bringing in the sense of spirituality in it. _ _ _
I don't know.
I mean, this is a one-off type of dude though.
I say right now, I've never seen this guy before.
I've never heard him perform.
But Colter Wall, _ _ _ _ this ain't a pretend human being.
I mean, I'm looking forward to checking out more of his music. _ _ _
But every so often you come across somebody and you're like,
whoa, I've never seen that before.
And this man, I've not seen that before.
Never in a performance.
_ _ _ _ Never quite heard a song like that before.
So I'm not going to rate it.
I can't rate it.
I don't even know what it means.
_ _ [A] You guys could tell me what it means.
Some of you guys might know.
BS detector, maybe you know what it means.
_ And I can see why with a name like yours, you'd like a guy like this.
Because it doesn't strike me that there's a whole lot of bullshit in this guy.
So, alright guys, there it is.
