About ‘The Man My Mama Raised’

Heralded by Blake Shelton as a “once-in-a-lifetime vocalist,” Ian Flanigan has been a lifelong troubadour touring the country since he was 17. He went from living full time on the road out of a Winnebago crisscrossing the country playing bars, clubs, and festivals to finishing 3rd on The Voice.

Flanigan follows his 2022 Reviver Records debut album, ‘Strong,’ with ‘The Man My Mama Raised,’ a richly satisfying collection that not only showcases Flanigan’s warm, textured vocals but also his songwriting prowess as he co-wrote ten of the 13 cuts.

“Our goal on this record was to create a new lane in country music, something my own,” he says. “We wanted diversity, and we were focused on great storytelling. Plus, we were always keeping the live show in mind.”

Flanigan has toured with Trace Adkins and Chris Janson, scored a No. 5 hit on the US iTunes chart with “Grow Up,” and been featured on CMT, RFD-TV, Fox News, American Songwriter, Whiskey Riff, The Music Universe, Country Now, Everything Nash, Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine, USA Today, Yahoo News, and The Wrap.

‘The Man My Mama Raised’ looks sure to continue the momentum, but even more importantly, Flanigan hopes it connects with listeners, entertains them, moves them, and makes them think.

“There’s relatability between all of us and the hardships and all the joys in life,” Flanigan says. “I really want people to feel connected after listening to this album. There are a few songs that are just fun and barn burners, and then there’s some deep stuff that we all go through. I hope the listener feels a sense of connection and they have a good time.”
