Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri
Colter Wall contributes to another movie soundtrack
by Cam Fuller, Saskatoon StarPhoenixSaskatchewan musician Colter Wall has a song in the upcoming movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri.
The movie stars Woody Harrelson and Francis McDormand. It’s directed and written by Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths).
Wall’s song, which figures prominently in the movie trailer, is Sleeping on the Blacktop.
It’s the same song used in the movie Hell or High Water, which was Oscar-nominated for best picture this year.
“It’s pretty crazy, a huge breakthrough for him,” said Saskatoon lawyer Kurt Dahl, who negotiated the placement.
“Both of those movies are really smart and hip. It speaks to how the music is, too. It’s a good fit.”
The negotiations hit a snag early because the movie people wanted an instrumental version. The way it was recorded, that wasn’t possible. Dahl decided to bide his time.
“We thought we’d lost the deal. They came back a few weeks later and said we don’t need an instrumental version of the song, let’s just do it.”
Famously understated, Wall didn’t make a fuss about it, Dahl said.
“He hasn’t said much about the placement except, ‘I like Woody Harrelson, that’s cool.’”
Originally from Swift Current but now relocating to Nashville, Wall is the son of Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall.
“I think he really is the real deal and people really see that. There’s a certain authenticity that people always want in their music. It’s nice when that authenticity really connects with people,” said Dahl.

Evening Read
Rachel B. Doyle dubs Thomas Jefferson “the Father of American Cryptography”:
As a youth in the Virginia colony, Jefferson encrypted letters to a confidante about the woman he loved. While serving as the third president of the newly formed United States, he tried to institute an impossibly difficult cipher for communications about the Louisiana Purchase. He even designed an intricate mechanical system for coding text that was more than a century ahead of its time.Cryptography was no parlor game for the idle classes, but a serious business for revolutionary-era statesmen who, like today’s politicians and spies, needed to conduct their business using secure messaging. Codes and ciphers involving rearranged letters, number substitutions, and other now-quaint methods were the WhatsApp, Signal, and PGP keys of the era.
Keep reading here, as Doyle uncovers the Founding Fathers’ secret messages.
