Colter Wall’s cover of “I Never Go Around Mirrors” is pure outlaw elegy. A man hiding from himself, from the truth, and from the reflection he no longer recognizes — that’s the kind of hurt Lefty Frizzell wrote for, and Colter delivers it like he’s got nothing left to lose.
This live cut from Luckenbach feels sacred. No crowd noise. No theatrics. Just a voice so deep it sounds carved from timber, trembling slightly as it pours heartache into every verse.
The video captures it all in a single shot — still, raw, and reverent. You don’t need edits when you’re telling the truth. Just a man, a guitar, and a moment of complete vulnerability.
It’s slow. It’s sad. And it’s devastating. But that’s the magic. Colter lets it hurt. He lets the song breathe, stretch, and mourn the way country music was meant to.
If you’ve ever poured a drink because looking in the mirror felt too much like judgment — this song is for you.
