Wall goes for the "Songs of the Plains"

Recorded at Nashville's RCA Studio A with Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Lori McKenna), the album features 11 songs including "Plain to See Plainsman. Wall, who has a deep voice and is old school country, plays the song in concert.

The Canadian wrote seven of the songs and also includes versions of Billy Don Burns' "Wild Dogs," Wilf Carter's "Calgary Round-Up" and two cowboy traditionals, "Night Herding Song" and "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail."

"One thing I've noticed over the last few years, in the United States and playing in Europe, is that people all over the world really don't know much about Canada at all...When you talk about Saskatchewan, people really have no idea. Part of it is because there are so few people there. It's an empty place. It makes sense that people don't know much about it. But that's my home, so naturally I'm passionate about it. With this record, I really wanted people to look at our Western heritage and our culture."

In addition to Wall (vocals, acoustic guitar), the album also features Cobb (acoustic guitar), Lloyd Green (pedal steel), Chris Powell (drums, spoons), Jason Simpson (bass), Mickey Raphael (harmonica), Blake Berglund (vocals) and Corb Lund (vocals).
