Apr 30, 2026Yet another career-best offering. .... Her voice is clear, pure and precise – delivered over deftly picked acoustic and swooning slide guitars – making each truth all the more devastating. Middle of Nowhere isn’t Musgraves at an impasse. No, she’s exactly where she needs to be.

May 1, 2026Sometimes staid and sometimes stirring, Middle of Nowhere finds her at a creative crossroads, in the middle of the road.
