Little Songs, the new album from Colter Wall, is available everywhere.

In “For a Long While” Colter Wall writes about the restorative power of songs and the toll of creating.

Opposed to previous releases, Colter’s latest record was largely written from his home in southern Saskatchewan, where he lives and works raising cattle. Colter said about the new album, “These songs were written over the last three years. I penned most of them from home and I think the songs reflect that.”

On the new record, Colter and his longtime road band, affectionately known to fans as The Scary Prairie Boys, tracked the songs in Wimberley, TX. Patrick Lyons joined Colter as a co-producer on this record and played many instruments. Also on the record are Jake Groves (harmonica), Russell Patterson (drums), Doug Moreland (fiddle) and Jason Simpson (bass).

After releasing previous recordings with Colter, La Honda Records partnered with RCA Records for the album Little Songs.

Lyrics:

This old guitar I’ve toted far

And though she’s sometimes outta tune

She earns her keep each time she speaks

In the dance halls and barrooms

There ain’t an hour that old wildwood flower

Don’t procure a little smile

I guess that’s how it’s always been

Or at least for a long while

It never fails when the world ails you

And throws you to the ground

Some old song forgotten long ago

Comes back around

Picks you up and dusts you off

In an old analog style

I guess that’s how it’s always been

Or at least for a long while

Laid my head on feather beds

And a pallet on the floor

But I’d contest my best nights rest

Followed work days full of chores

Any man that works his hands

Knows true reward and trial

I guess that’s how it’s always been

Or at least for a long while

Restless and breathlessness

Can creep in over time

When things get slow you got to go

Hear that highway whine

The more you roam, you’ll long for home

With every passing mile

I guess that’s how it’s always been

Or at least for a long while

I guess that’s how it’s always been

Or at least for a long while
