"The bulk of this record was made during the longest single period of my life. I found that for the first time, it actually felt incredible being alone and existing in a space not defined by anyone else. I became fascinated with the concept of liminal space, both geographical and emotional. We don't linger in these transitional, empty spaces long enough and rush to define where or whatever is next."
"I became so at ease with being in the 'middle of nowhere' in many senses and sitting in the un-comfort of the undefined. I had a lot of time for creative ambling and leaning into myself in different ways; horses, humor, writing with my early collaborators again, and living out my very simple, inspired life between Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico."
"The 13-track collection was produced by Musgraves and longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. The singer is further joined by a slew of other collaborators and friends, including Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov."
Kacey Musgraves has announced her sixth studio album, Middle of Nowhere, set for release on May 1st via Lost Highway. The 13-track album follows 2024's Deeper Well and was produced by Musgraves alongside longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. The project features guest appearances from Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Inspired by a sign outside her hometown of Golden, Texas reading "Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere," the album explores open space and traditional western elements. Musgraves describes it as a sonic love letter blending country with bluegrass, pop, Norteño, and Zydeco influences. Created during an extended period of solitude, the album reflects Musgraves' exploration of liminal spaces and personal growth, incorporating creative pursuits across Texas, Tennessee, and Mexico.
