Midland Sets New Album Release For August
Country trio Midland earned a chart-topping country album with their debut On the Rocks, along with a Grammy nod for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group, as well as Best Country Song (for their hit “Drinkin’ Problem”). They were also honored with the ACM New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year award in 2018.
The trio returns Aug. 23 with their sophomore album Let It Roll. Produced by Dann Huff, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, the new album returns to the neo-traditional country sounds that made Midland’s Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy and Jess Carson gain a buzz at country radio.
“We want to keep things fresh and real,” says Duddy. “The beauty of being in Dripping Springs and spending so much time on the road, we don’t get caught up in what’s trending. We’re able to follow our hearts (and our livers) to where we think country is the best.”
“Everything we’ve learned out on the road touring On The Rocks is all right here on this album,” says Wystrach. “These songs are deeply personal and from the heart.”
“A lot of what was is still so cool, and with the help of Dann, Shane and Josh, as well as the support of Scott and Big Machine, we’re able to be true to the music and keep our kind of country alive,” says Carson.
