NASHVILLE—Country-pop singer Kacey Musgraves announced her new album, titled Middle Of Nowhere, Friday. The album features an eclectic mix of collaborators. Musgraves seemed unsure about the project’s direction. “I just want to make art that resonates,” she stated. She also hoped the Middle Of Nowhere release would be well-received. This marks her first album since Deeper Well. That release came out just last year.
Uncertainty Abounds
The record boasts appearances from country music titans like Willie Nelson and Miranda Lambert. Bluegrass phenom Billy Strings also lent his talents. However, the guest list also includes Barry Jenkins, Musgraves’ accountant. Jenkins reportedly contributed a “haunting kazoo solo” on the track “Tax Season Blues.” Musgraves defended the choice. “Barry understands my financial anxieties,” she explained. “It’s very authentic.” You can hear the first single, “Dry Spell,” now.
Navigating the Void
Musgraves expressed a desire for the album to feel like a journey. “It’s about being lost,” she mused. “But like, in a good way. Maybe.” The album’s title, Middle Of Nowhere, reflects this theme. Fans anticipate the unique blend of sounds. Some speculate it could even redefine country music. Others are just curious about Jenkins’ kazoo. The album is set for release this fall. You can pre-order it on her official website.
At press time, Musgraves admitted she had not yet listened to the completed album. She was too busy picking out outfits for the upcoming press tour. She also wondered if Middle Of Nowhere was a real place.
