The perfect western love ballad doesn’t exi…
Oh wait, yes it does… and we just got a performance of it from the Canadian cowboy, Colter Wall.
He just released a cover of “Evangelina,” a tune originally written by Kenneth Higginbotham and Hoyt Axton that was released in 1976 on Hoyt’s Fearless record.
It tells the story of a man whose burning passion for his lover is so strong, he’s willing to make a trek across the desert in order to reunite with her once again. And Wall’s deep, gritty voice really brings this song to life.
Nothing but a man and his guitar, exactly how it should be.
