Country music trio Midland have revealed the title, cover, and track list for their Big Machine Records debut, On The Rocks, which releases Sept. 22. All 13 tracks on the album were written or co-written by Midland members Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy, and Jess Carson.
“We’ve poured our hearts and souls into writing and making these songs and are extremely proud of what we’ve been able to create,” said Wystrach.
“On The Rocks is a confluence of our musical tastes and our reverence for classic country,” said Duddy.
“This record is truly a nod to the time period we are influenced by and is an effort to bring that sound and that pageantry back to the forefront,” added Carson.
Produced by Dann Huff, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, On The Rocks gives a blast of vibrant color and texture to today’s country, with ”Drinkin’ Problem” leading the charge. The song and its ear-catching vibe has piqued the interest of all who hear it and is among the most searched-for country songs on Shazam. It had been RIAA certified Gold and recently went to No. 1 on the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart. It’s music video is directed by Duddy, who has four 2017 MTV Video Music Awards nominations for directing Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” video.
