NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With his 2023 album White Buffalo, Ian Munsick painted a sprawling ode to the west and its people. The son of ranchers, he is now sharing the majesty of his home with the next generation. Today he announced four new tracks White Buffalo: Introduce You To God, a deluxe version of the celebrated collection (pre-order HERE). The first of the album’s four new tracks, “Heartbreak King,” is available now (listen HERE).
“18 songs just wasn’t enough,” remarks Munsick of his sophomore project. “This Deluxe album features songs I wrote four years ago and songs I wrote four months ago. They’ve lived in my imagination long enough, now I can’t wait for them to be yours. Family, faith, heartbreak, legends of the west… you’ll get ‘em all in this project. Thank you for always pushing me to write and release more music.”
Munsick’s release of White Buffalo last year earned accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People, MusicRow and more. Grammy.com remarked, “Munsick’s ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”
Munsick burst out of the gate in 2024, starting with the release of White Buffalo: Voices of the West. The feature-length documentary is now available on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Kanopy (Libraries), Microsoft, Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD. The Tennessean praised Voices of the West, which features conversations with members of the Blackfoot and Crow tribes as well as the Blackfeet Nation, as “essential to maintain and humanize the tie to Western culture.”
Last week, amid his headlining Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour, Munsick stopped by The Bobby Bones Show for an in-studio interview and performance (watch HERE). He also released his exclusive Apple Music Sessions, featuring western-influenced covers of Justin Bieber, Hall & Oates and Travis Tritt (listen HERE).
Munsick is back on the road this weekend, with a show tonight in Kansas City, MO. His headlining run will continue through the spring, including a sold-out date at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 5. This summer he will join CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson for her Country’s Cool Again Tour.
