Discography
El Western Motel
A collection of intimate, mostly acoustic tunes inspired by his beloved American West and such influences as the words of Hemingway, Faulker, James Dickey and Richard Hugo, EL WESTERN MOTEL captures this Texas troubadour reflecting on the peaks and valleys of a singular life.
Just Another Place
Wall’s poignant tales of his personal highs and lows are set to a background of stellar country that is tailor made for both dancers and thinkers. Never one to spend much time in the past; here he reaches for a new take on the oldest of country themes, heartache, loss, failure, and how he deals with them.
Tainted Angel
A great country song is a story set somewhere between exuberance and desperation. So, think of these tunes as “torch songs.” Some of them are torches carried, some are torches passed (past?) Some are used to light the way, and some...hell, some are just used to burn down the honky tonks.
Any Saturday Night in Texas
Wall has been lauded as one of the premier musical ambassadors for the country music traditions of the Lone Star State. As Knight-Ridder newspaper noted, he “makes Gruene Hall outside Austin sound like the center of the country music universe on Any Saturday Night in Texas.”
