Williams to Be Inducted Into Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall Of Fame
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 31, 2024) – Chancey Williams “…continues to wrap his pleasant baritone around a slate of honky tonk songs” (Billboard) with his latest release, “One Bad Mutha Buckaroo,” available now. Co-written by Williams with singer-songwriter and producer Brice Long, the electric guitar-fueled mid-tempo gives listeners a light-hearted view into the life of a good-time Charley – the guy that lives off whiskey and late nights, then finds comfort in the bed of his truck alongside his blue-eyed border collie pup – all backed by Williams’ signature twang.

“Man, I had a blast writing this song because everyone back where I grew up knows exactly the kind of person who is ‘One Bad Muthu Buckaroo,’” said Willimas of the inspiration behind the song. “He’s a real cowboy. A man’s man. He could probably stand to settle down a little one day soon. But he’s never going to.”
The tune comes on the heels of the announcement that Williams will be inducted into this year’s Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame in September.
“One Bad Mutha Buckaroo” follows the January release of single “A Cowboy Who Would” – an anti-“leaving kind” anthem about a cowboy who opts to hang his hat with the woman he loves. “A Cowboy Who Would” was added by more than 150 country stations nationwide, was featured by PickleJar’s “Up All Night” program (which is syndicated on 47 Cumulus stations nationwide), was featured on country music’s biggest and best longest-running countdown show in North America, Country Top 40’s Launchpad with Fitz!, and is receiving airplay on Local Radio Network’s MainStream Country and Super Star Country show formats.
Last year, Williams released his sixth studio album, One of These Days, to rave reviews by People, Billboard, Taste of Country, Whiskey Riff, Holler, Saving Country Music and more, with Whiskey Riff declaring Williams “the real deal” and “a damn good songwriter.” He also notched several performance “firsts” in 2023, including a debut at the prestigious Grand Ole Opry (April – he was invited to take the Opry stage again in September), a spot on the Dr. Pepper Amp Stage during Nashville’s CMA Music Festival (June), and a rigorous tour schedule that included headlining dates and regular opening spots for artists like Parker McCollum and Ian Munsick. In December, Williams opened a performance at the National Finals Rodeo for the fifth time and performed at “The Chelsea,” the flashy 3200 seat venue at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.
