GHOST OF THE WEST
Watch for the wolves, and leave it all behind.
Angel White is a fifth-generation Texas cowboy, beekeeper and singer/songwriter who artfully blends elements of folk, country, soul, and rock to create a sound that’s uniquely his, reflecting the vast landscapes of his upbringing and the untamed spirit of the West.
His full-length debut project, GHOST OF THE WEST: THE ALBUM , released on March 7th and takes listeners on a journey through soulful melodies, captivating narratives, and introspective lyrics inspired by the wide-open spaces of his hometown of Cleburne, TX, where his roots run deep with a family lineage of cowboys and century-old tradition of raising horses.
White discovered the power of his own voice after he spent years busking in Deep Ellum, Texas, which inspired him to craft a narrative through his songwriting. Throughout the album, White pays homage to the sidelined narratives of the Mexican, Black, and Native cowboys, historical figures often unjustly erased from both the annals of history and mainstream pop culture depiction of the American West, serving to honor not only his own journey, but also the countless individuals who came before him.

“Flitting effortlessly between glimmering torch songs, raucous country funk and bold sweeping Americana, White’s songs capture the vastness and grandeur of America as he picks at the tattered seams of its mythologies and reworks them into something enticing and entirely modern”

PRESS HIGHLIGHTS
OFFICIAL 2025 GIBSON SPOTLIGHT ARTIST
“While the album may be closely personal, White sought to make it a sonic space that was welcoming to all – one that gives listeners a sense of the world that he knew growing up, whether it was on his family’s horse farm or being influenced by his father’s eclectic music tastes”
