Hi-Line Records is thrilled to announce the release of the latest album from Wylie & the Wild West, Bunchgrass, available everywhere on February 3, 2023.
Bunchgrass is refreshing blend of cowboy, western, and traditional country. Wylie remains distinct in the world of country music as one of the few authentic voices in the genre. His muse is the empty sprawl of his native Montana home where he crafts the words and music that represent his life on the fourth generation family ranch. Wylie is an inducted member of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Montana Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.
The album debuted as the second most added album on the Americana chart for the week of January 10, 2023. The single “Ribbon of Darkness” was the second most added single on the same chart.
“This guy is genuine, and his songs are a part of his life. Rarely do I encounter music as unaffected and heartfelt.” –Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives)
“This is straight-up country music with the added touch of Western that deserves a wider audience… a pure example of what country music is, was and should be.” – Stephen Rapid- Lonesome Highway
“Brilliantly composed with minimalist instrumentation that carefully chooses each tasty note and the exact right tone and instrument to perform it with, the wide open space is respected on Bunchgrass just like it is in the West.” – Kyle Coroneos- Saving Country Music
