Ian Munsick Unveils ‘The Mountain Goat’ Due In August

/by

Ian Munsick will release his fourth album, The Mountain Goat, on Aug. 21. The project marks Munsick’s first full-length project released via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS/Triple Tigers Records.

Co-produced by Munsick with Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson, the album’s 15 tracks were written alongside Devin Dawson, Tucker Beathard, Jared Conrad and others. Munsick also played an extensive role in the instrumentation heard on the record. In total, he is credited with playing nine different instruments including acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki and kazoo, as well as lending background vocals and programming.

“‘Way up high in isolation, where most men dare not go…’ Since the very start of my musical journey I’ve always aspired to be an innovator. My voice has always been different so naturally, my music should be a little different too,” he shares. “When we started making this album, the relationship between my voice and the musical production was always at the forefront of the creative process. You’ll hear modern sounds rooted in folky textures, soaked with steel guitar and, of course, plenty of fiddle. Melodies that will, hopefully, haunt you till the end of your days and lyrics that will take you to the place that inspires me most; the west. These songs are dedicated to the land and the folks that live with it, not on it,” he adds. “Lord knows we need more of those in country music today. This album will take you horseback through pastures, prairies, up to the foothills, past the timberline and up to the summit… The Mountain Goat is waiting for you.”

His single “Love Is Blind” is currently climbing the radio charts. He will release the next album preview, “World War III,” on Friday (June 12).

As part of his “The Road to The Mountain Goat” shows, Munsick will host an official album release show at Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater in Park City, Utah on Aug. 22 as part of the Deer Valley Concert Series. The run of shows will also include stops in Nevada, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico and South Dakota. More information on these shows can be found here.

Munsick is also partnering with The Landmark Hotel & Casino to open the Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill this fall.
