Deemed one of the genre’s “top-tier waltzes in recent memory” by The Tennessean, Wyoming native Ian Munsick is bringing his sky-high voice and Rocky Mountain influence to country radio with the solo version of his RIAA-Gold certified track “Long Live Cowgirls,” available on DSPs now and impacting country radio on Monday, Oct. 23.

Written by Munsick alongside Aby Gutierrez and Phil O’Donnell, “Long Live Cowgirls” was originally released as a duet alongside Cody Johnson in 2022, painting a vivid and authentic picture of cowgirls that resonated with fans to the tune of over 110 million on-demand streams, the song’s popularity driving it to become a No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway.

Releasing it to country radio this fall, Munsick delivers the song for the first time as fans have heard it on the road, solo with plenty of fiddle and falsetto.

Reflecting on the journey it took to get here, Munsick shares, "Ten years ago, I set off on a mission to bring the west to the rest. Songs about cowboys, cowgirls, horses, cattle and the rugged ranch lifestyle were few and far between when I was kid listening to the radio back in Wyoming. Slowly but surely, the country music format has started to accept the western brand and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of that change.

"'Long Live Cowgirls' is more than just a song. It’s an anthemic celebration of the generations of women that conquered the vigorous landscape of the west with passion and grace. The emotion I see and feel from the audience when we play this song live is a constant reminder of why I make music. It has a deeper impact than just three minutes of escapism… the message is one of longevity and prosperity. If that’s not the heart of country music, I don’t know what is."

Munsick released his full-length sophomore album White Buffalo earlier this year, earning 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 performed his new single at Nissan Stadium for CMA Fest and on all shows supporting Morgan Wallen on his One Night At A Time World Tour. His headlining The Buffalo Roams Tour is currently underway, featuring a rotating lineup of special guests including Randall King, Triston Marez, Catie Offerman, Jake Worthington and Chancey Williams.

About Ian Munsick:
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick is painting a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo, out now. The 18-track album spans unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honkytonk hooks and mountain-time odes to family and forever-young fun. It builds upon the spacious roots-pop beauty he introduced on his major label debut, Coyote Cry. Over the past three years, the 30-year-old has accumulated more than half a billion global streams and a host of accolades. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and more. A seasoned entertainer, having grown up tending cattle by day and playing music in a family band each night, Munsick toured recently alongside country music superstars Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson. Beyond his noteworthy professional accomplishments, he has also become both a husband and a father. Now the Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist is representing his home, and its special cast of people, like never before. The first release from White Buffalo, standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” off his debut album Coyote Cry. 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.
