Musgraves’ sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, is set for release this Friday, May 1 (Lost Highway). Produced by Kacey alongside longtime collaborators, the album features the first single, “Dry Spell,” which is boldly hilarious and self-aware.
“Dry Spell” was followed by the album's title track “Middle of Nowhere,” inspired by a literal sign in Musgraves’ tiny, unincorporated, no-stoplight hometown of Golden, Texas, population under 300, that reads “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere.”
Middle of Nowhere exhales with a dust-blown clarity that feels both evocative and sure. The album draws from the sounds, stories, and sensibilities that shaped the Texas native. Honest, fearless, immersive, and always ready to wink at life’s twists, turns, and troubles.
Written during a period of post-breakup reflection, this album finds Musgraves leaning intentionally into open space and traditional western elements. Pedal steel, accordion, and Texas dancehall rhythms provide a nostalgic framework that she flips on its head in signature fashion.
Middle of Nowhere features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov, further highlighting its deep Texas roots and genreless spirit.
Middle of Nowhere follows 2024’s Deeper Well, which marked Musgraves’ biggest debut sales week, landing at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and her fifth No. 1 debut on the Top Country Albums chart.
In 2023, Musgraves achieved her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “I Remember Everything,” her duet with Zach Bryan. The song went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo or Group Performance.
Over the course of her career, Musgraves has earned eight Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Golden Hour.
