Colter Wall is back with another stellar new track. The Canada native is gearing up to release a new LP next month, in November. Memories and Empties, Wall’s sixth studio album, will contain 11 new songs, including “1800 Miles” and a cover of Ian Tyson’s 1985 track, “Summer Wages.” In typical Colter Wall fashion, he didn’t provide much information about the album in the Instagram post. That being said, he revealed to Dale Brisby in a rare media appearance on the Rodeo Time podcast that he wanted to make a “love letter” to country music that sounded like an old Merle Haggard record: “It’s just a love letter to country music. Really, it’s just a bunch of sad drinking songs mostly. I just wanted to make a record that sounded like Merle Haggard and the Strangers—late 60s into the early 70s. Honestly, to me, that’s where country music peaked. That’s my favorite stuff to listen to, and I think that was the best band in country music. I wanted to make a record that reminded me of that. So that’s what we did… or tried to (do) anyways.” Wall has been generous enough to gift fans already one track off the record, “1800 Miles,” which reaffirms Wall’s disdain for the machine of Music City with the cheeky lyrics: “I don’t know what you think you’ve been toldIf I ever was for sale, I never soldIt’s short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes1,800 miles from Music RowIt’s Tyson songs on the fiddle and guitarAnd the pedal steel man drives a real mean barYou won’t hear it on your radioIt’s 1,800 miles from Music Row” Today, Wall is back with another preview of what’s in store for the record with his second single, “Back to Me.” Wall explains that the song, a love song at its core, details the highs and lows of life and the comfort of having someone to do it with. Told from the perspective of an aging rancher, the song is a testament to one of life’s divine gifts… marriage. “Living takes a toll. ‘Back to Me’ is about that, but mostly it’s about loving someone through it all.” The new song, released via La Honda Records and RCA Records, features his signature voice and traditional honky tonk stylings. As Wall delivers the heartfelt lyrics, the feeling of security wraps around you like a warm blanket. Having someone to go through this crazy thing called life with you is beautiful, and Wall perfectly captures that with this tenderhearted tune: “Not so long ago, I’d throw my leg around life And I’d stay with each day and spur ‘em down But that age has come and gone And the memories won’t stay around But in time, I know my mind will come back to me Like the songs that my momma used to sing I’ll remember who I am If you grab aholt of my hand I’ll recall you are my all and everything.” This cowpoke does not miss. Turn “Back To You” all the way up.
