Colter Wall is a cowboy from Saskatchewan and makes music that’ll at the very least make you feel like you’re out of the city, but will probably have you looking for a way Upstate (or further) ASAP. He’s cool, he totally walks it like he talks it and spends most of his time ranching and cowboying. If you’re into Townes, Prine, Gillian Welch-- the sort of americana folk (I don’t really know how to categorize it) you’ll probably enjoy his stuff. Songs of the Plains is the album of his I probably listen to most.

Colter Wall is a young star in today's Western Music world, with critically acclaimed albums like his 2017 self titled, and work on several TV shows & movies. This one is a mixture of originals and covers. The most notable cover, Big Iron (originally by Marty Robbins — see above), is done in a way to give it new life without feeling like a cop out. You'll be tappin' your toes to the steady drumbeat in no time. If you're looking for country artists to follow who aren't making today's biggest pop-country hits, check him out, and this is a great album to start with.

I’ve been following the release of Colter Wall’s upcoming “Little Songs” since he announced it back in April, and have found each pre-release single to be beautiful in its own right. Evangelina quickly turned into the song I listen to every morning on my 5 minute drive to drop my daughter off to her daycare. We both love it and I love sharing that with her. Corralling the Blues has proper plainsman twang and a beautiful catchy little riff, but the most recent song For a Long While has the feeling of a song that’ll be in the rotation for years.

I try to keep a knife on me at all times… People like to make fun of it but everyone who has spent any time w me has found themselves needing it at some point. Shyan has caught me without one a few times recently and he freaks out every time. Be an adult, start carrying your own. This is the knife I carry when I’m at the shop… My buddy Fritz got me hooked. No other utility knife opens easily with one hand.

Maybe for you it’s not a tunasand at 1:45 on Thursdays, but I think you gotta have one good ritual. I am in no way a planner or a routine guy, but I do get a tuna sandwich every Thursday after I see the shrink. Sometimes it’s from Katz’s, sometimes it's on a bagel at Russ and Daughters, but I’ve been switching it up. A few weeks ago I had one w Shy from Rolo’s and it was pretty damn good. This week I did Frankel’s and it was excellent. Open to recs. Hop on the Tunafish Thursdays train, we’re happy to have you.

This is a contentious item for a New York CIty lifestyle-- In fact it makes zero sense. It’s large and a pain in the ass to carry, but it’s the best water bottle I’ve ever had and I love her. 2 a day keeps u feeling good.
