Oct 12, 2018The 23 year old Canadian really brings it on this sophomore effort. The album shines with simple arrangements and a unique voice reminiscent of campfires and cowboys from days of yore. Wall is a fresh pioneer of a genre which has largely fallen by the wayside and his latest is irresistibly listenable.

Oct 15, 2018Wall’s sophomore album, Songs of the Plains, uses the sounds of country icons like Waylon Jennings and George Jones as musical frames for the unfurled feel of those prairie stretches.
