Midland began over a decade ago in 2014 when Mark Wystrach (lead vocals, guitar), Jess Carson (guitar, vocals) and Cameron Duddy (bass, vocals) got together in Dripping Springs, Texas, and started exploring the elements of country music of the 1970s and ’80s that they loved: three-part harmonies, pedal steel, and twangy guitars.
They took their name from Dwight Yoakam’s “Fair to Midland,” and quickly established themselves with their 2017 debut album, On the Rocks, whose tunes “Make a Little,” “Burn Out” and “Drinkin’ Problem” made sent the album to #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
Their second album, 2019’s Let It Roll, did even better, peaking at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums list.
The trio’s most recent release, Stages, dropped this summer on Blue Highway Records. The 10-track LP blends old school Nashville, Texas honky-tonk, and Bakersfield country rock flavors as well as collabs like “Up in Texas,” featuring Clint Black, and “I Wish You Would,” with MacKenzie Carpenter.
