New 49 Winchester Song to Appear in “Yellowstone” Finale


49 Winchester is one of the many independent bands that has benefited greatly from having songs appear in the series Yellowstone over its five seasons. Their song “Make It Count” appeared in the penultimate episode on December 8th, and they had another song appear in an episode back in 2022. Now it’s been revealed that they will be one of the lucky few who will have a song in the season finale airing Sunday, December 15th.

Fans are lucky too, because it’s a brand new song, and the latest release since their new album Leaving This Holler from this summer, which was recently nominated for Saving Country Music’s 2024 Album of the Year. The song is called “Miles To Go.”

“Sometimes a song just writes itself, and this was one of those songs,” says frontman Isaac Gibson. “I wrote it between cities, somewhere on some distant stretch of interstate, in a matter of a couple of minutes. It’s a leaving song, which seems to have been a big theme on our new album. It was initially a part of ‘Leavin’ This Holler,’ but it wound up being left off for the record to fit on vinyl.” 

Speaking of vinyl, 49 Winchester’s record label New West is going to be releasing the band’s first three albums 49 Winchester (2014), The Wind (2018), & III (2020) on vinyl for the first time on January 17th, 2025. There will be limited-edition indie record store colored vinyl editions, as well as standard black vinyl. You can find them all on Bandcamp.

“For me, there is no better way to debut [‘Miles To Go’] than in the final season of ‘Yellowstone’,” says Isaac Gibson. “It’s always such an honor to have the art and sounds that you’ve created put on display in television and film, and Taylor Sheridan has given us, and so many other off-the-centerline country acts, a great platform to do that.” 

The season finale of Yellowstone might have all kinds of musical premiers and surprises. The Turnpike Troubadours appeared in the next to last episode. Ryan Bingham (who plays the character Walker in the series) has also released a new song called “A Song for the Stone” that he’s also confirmed will be in the final episode.
