Ian Munsick ft. Cody Johnson “Long Live Cowgirls” Song Review
Ian Munsick and Cody Johnson’s anticipated duet, “Long Live Cowgirls,” was released this past Friday on January 28th. The song exuded both a sultry and nostalgic ambiance for listeners.
The song is dressed in lyrics where both men tip their hats in deep admiration to the cowgirls of the past. Remaining true to a classic Western ballad, the duo wrangles in its audience with the balance of a few string sounds and deep vocals. Highlighting country icons like John Wayne and Chris LeDoux during the track makes the character of this song dig its roots a bit deeper.
In the chorus they come together to sing, “Well, she rode in them wagons / When the Wild West was won / Took the canyons and badlands / And made ’em her home / She’s boots on, LeDoux songs / Snaps on her pearls / Long live cowgirls.
Munsick co-wrote the brand new track alongside Aby Gutierrez and Phil O’Donnell; the three showcased the stark balance of what cowgirls had to be during their era. Their clever lyricism is vivid and almost plays out like a scene in an old Hollywood western film as they mention “a paint-colored mustang,” “a runaway freight train,” and “her high country smile.”
This song is an example of the life once longed for by the simple-minded and still has a place in many hearts today.
