Overview
- Middle of Nowhere arrives May 1 on Lost Highway, her first release since reuniting with the label, with pre-orders now live.
- The 13-song tracklist features guest spots from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings and Gregory Alan Isakov.
- Musgraves co-produced the album with Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, leaning into pedal steel, accordion and Texas dancehall rhythms with touches of bluegrass, pop, norteño and zydeco.
- Written after a breakup, the record reflects what she calls the longest single stretch of her life and explores liminal space while living between Texas, Tennessee and Mexico.
- Lead single “Dry Spell” is out with a video co-directed with Hannah Lux Davis, pairing twangy wordplay with lyrics that tally a 335-day drought.
