Ian Munsick released his sophomore album White Buffalo last April to praise from fans and critics alike. The 18-song collection contained some top-notch country music and odes to the Western landscape that shaped the singer/songwriter. Now, he’s looking to expand on the success of that record with a deluxe edition.

“Eighteen songs just wasn’t enough,” Munsick shared in a statement. “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,” he added. “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.”
Ian Munsick Discusses White Buffalo
Munsick grew up on his family’s ranch in Wyoming. There, he learned an appreciation for the Western lifestyle and found a deep connection to nature. Years later, he shares those experiences and insights in his music. The sound and many of the songs on White Buffalo were a nod to that region. It was an album he said he needed to write.
“Honestly I think that country music needs more Western in it. That’s the kind of music that I love to make because it honors where I’m from,” Munsick said in a 2023 interview. “I think the more and more into the future we get on our screens and just away from real life with the earth and with people the more and more that’s what people want.”
