Countrystjärnorna Midland är med nytt album. 14 maj spelar de på utsålt Rockefeller i Oslo och på Nalen i Stockholm dagen efter!

Double Grammy® nominees Midland have sought to reintroduce the Western plains, Laurel Canyon-cum-Bakersfield and Lone Star juke joints to country music since coming together at a friend’s wedding over common influences. Their sound defines a post-Urban Cowboy country that resonates with music fans globally. For lead singer/guitarist Mark Wystrach, bassist/vocalist Cameron Duddy and lead guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson, the triple platinum hit “Drinkin’ Problem” set the stage for their critically acclaimed On The Rocks and No. 1 Billboard Top Country Albums debut Let It Roll to unite classic country fans, hipsters and media including Entertainment Weekly, GQ, The Washington Post, Vogue, Esquire, Variety, Rolling Stone and NPR.

Based in Dripping Springs, Texas, the trio of songwriters who developed their sound at Tornillo, Texas’ storied Sonic Ranch have been building a following that’s sold-out the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show, packed a multiple night stand at Ft. Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s and re-opened North Hollywood’s legendary Palomino Club for one night only. Their third studio album, The Last Resort: Greetings From, is the next leg of their retro-Nuevo journey.

The Last Resort: Greetings From

Having merged Bakersfield and Austin, Winslow, Arizona and Laurel Canyon, Las Vegas and San Antonio, it was only a matter of time before Midland found themselves at The Last Resort. With nods to Gary Stewart, Dwight Yoakam, Merle Haggard and Mickey Gilley, the freewheeling trio considers the way dreams can drift away, love – or lust – can string you out, good-timing can crash into real life and there’s always a morning after waiting ahead. Employing their almost narcotic harmonies, a reliance on classic country guitar tones and steel guitars, dance hall tempos and old school wordplay, Midland takes their ladies-first swagger and reaches to more adult themes without losing their Saturday night exuberance along the way.

Teaming with fellow turbo-tonker Jon Pardi, Midland throws down the drinkin’ her off my mind gauntlet on “Long Neck Way To Go,” explores the sultry morning after on “Sunrise Tells The Story” and gives a nod to the working-class on the brio of “Paycheck To Paycheck.”

The Last Resort: Greetings From offers the playbook for people old enough to have messed up, picked themselves up, faced the damages and were determined to get on with their lives…
