Ian Munsick Eagle Feather 2LP (Gold Vinyl)

Breathing fresh Rocky Mountain air into the Nashville music scene, Ian Munsick is pioneering a new brand of country. The Wyoming-born singer/songwriter's upbringing was a mix of working the ranch and working crowds. Under the tutelage of their fiddle-playing father, Munsick and his two older brothers grew up playing everything from bluegrass to The Beatles. Incorporating elements across genres, he has now begun to establish himself as a progressive artist with an old soul.

Captivated by traditional lyrical truth and the modern soundscape, Munsick followed his ear to Music City. In 2017 he released a self-titled EP, winning iHeartRadio's Rocky Mountain Song of the Year for the rootsy "Horses Are Faster" and becoming the only artist who simultaneously qualified two tracks as finalists in the NSAI/CMT songwriting competition.

Fast forward to 2021: Munsick has signed a major label record deal with Warner Music Nashville, earned more than 40 million global streams and been named one of Spotify's inaugural Hot Country Artists to Watch. His debut album Coyote Cry featured his mile-high tenor underscoring self-penned songs that conjured equal parts epic adventure and down-to-earth wisdom. The record marked the dawn of western pop-laced country, pulling a thread straight from Chris LeDoux through Post Malone.

Munsick painted a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album, 2023's White Buffalo. The 18-track album spanned unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honkytonk hooks and mountain-time odes to family and forever-young fun. It built upon the spacious roots-pop beauty he introduced on Coyote Cry.

"Eagle Feather is a tribute to a sacred way of life. One that epitomizes the voice of country music, yet is rarely heard among the masses," says Munsick. "Every one of these 20 songs is rooted in true, personal experiences that have helped create the man I am today. I offer this body of work to anyone that loves the freedom that inspires our spirit when we look over a sunset on the mountain. Or the sanctity of returning to the people and places we care about the most. May you both receive and gift your Eagle Feather."

Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.
