Kacey Musgraves returns with 'Middle of Nowhere' album

  • On Friday, country star Kacey Musgraves released her seventh studio album, Middle of Nowhere, marking her return to traditional Texas country instrumentation and themes of post-breakup solitude.
  • Inspiration struck while Musgraves visited her hometown of Golden, Texas, where a billboard reading "Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere" prompted her to explore liminal spaces and post-breakup solitude.
  • Collaborations with country legend Willie Nelson and country queen Miranda Lambert anchor the record, while Musgraves weaves in Mexican musical influences like ranchera and norteño to punctuate traditional Western textures.
  • Musgraves will perform during the 61st annual Academy of Country Music Awards airing live on Prime Video on May 17, while preparing for her Middle of Nowhere Tour later this year.
  • Moving beyond the acoustic meditations of 2024's Deeper Well, this project prioritizes purposeful tempos and unfiltered storytelling, marking a new era of songwriting rather than a direct recall to her earliest albums.
