Song:Drinkin' Problem
Album:On The Rocks
Midland scored a top five country hit with Drinkin' Problem and their debut album On The Rocks was released Oct. 2017. The band has a retro vibe. Even the album cover and the band's clothes have a 70s look to it. Though it is claimed Midland is from Texas, they met in Los Angeles. Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy had a band. When the band split up, Duddy met Mark Wystrach and they decided to form a band. The three met at Duddy's wedding in Wyoming. The three played together and decided to form a band and move to Texas. The name Midland is after the Dwight Yoakam song Fair to Midland. They released a single in 2015 and that got them a deal with Big Machine and producer Shane McAnally who is best known for producing Kacey Musgraves. The single Drinkin' Problem and an EP was released Oct. 2016. The single reached #4 on the Country Singles chart. Midland wrote the song along with McAnally and his frequent songwriting partner Josh Osborne. I guess the song was a surprise hit because now they had to record an album. On The Rocks was released Oct. 2017. Midland wrote most of the songs with McAnally and Osborne. They produced along with studio guitar ace Dann Huff. The album has done OK. They got a couple of Grammy nominations. Midland is currently on tour with Little Big Town and Thomas Rhett. I am sure they will record new music after the tour. Here's the video for Drinkin' Problem by Midland.
