Warner Music Nashville recording artist and Rocky Mountain troubadour Ian Munsick is calling fans new and old to hear that Coyote Cry on his western-laced debut album, due February 26 and available now to pre-save (HERE). The project comes fully formed and rich with identity only five months after signing his first major label deal. Co-produced by Munsick, Coyote Cry features 10 tracks including “Long Haul” (listen HERE) and “Me Against The Mountain” (listen HERE). He celebrates the album’s announcement today with the release of rollicking new track “Humble” (listen HERE).
“Coyote Cry is a soundtrack for the modern western lifestyle,” Munsick said. “A firm handshake between cowboy and hippy, traditional and contemporary and everything in between. It’s the life I’ve lived so far and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. No matter who you are, I think you’ll find a piece of yourself in there and maybe even lose yourself to the howling in the hills.”
Munsick has spent the last half decade honing his craft in Nashville, blending his Rocky Mountain sound with progressive elements and new-school production. Geared up to bring western back into country, he has already tallied 30 million streams and been honored with the 2018 iHeartRadio’s Rocky Mountain Song of the Year. He has earned recent praise for his “distinctive voice” (Billboard) and “riveting” (Rolling Stone) tenor.
As he readies for album release, Munsick looks to welcome fans into his official fan club; The Heard, aptly titled for the ranch-bred musician, launches today. Fans who run with The Heard will receive access to exclusive merch, advance music and more. Join for free by visiting IanMunsick.com.
Said the Wyoming-born singer / songwriter: “Cowboys have always been the people I’ve looked up to most and aspired to be like. I don’t mean the cattle rustling, heart-thieving, Hollywood kind. I mean the first one to work, give the shirt off his back, Chris Ledoux kind. The kind you want as your neighbor. The kind I think of when I hear the word Cowboy. Humble. Thanks for running with The Heard.”
