New Kacey Musgraves Album Coming May 1, Watch the Witty Video for New Song ‘Dry Spell’

Middle of Nowhere marks Musgraves' return to Texas-country style with collaborations from Willie Nelson and Miranda Lambert, exploring themes of solitude and humor during a 335-day dry spell.

  • On Wednesday, Musgraves previewed Middle of Nowhere with the lead single Dry Spell and its music video co-directed by Hannah Lux Davis, announcing a May 1 release.
  • Musgraves wrote the songs during the post-breakup period, focusing on aloneness, liminal space, and humor in the lead song Dry Spell reflecting abstinence.
  • Produced with longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian, producer, and Ian Fitchuk, producer, the 13-song collection features pedal steel, accordion, Texas dancehall rhythms, and references a 335 days lyric.
  • A social-media exchange with Miranda Lambert became the duet Horses and Divorces, easing feud speculation, while Willie Nelson narrates Uncertain, TX, reaffirming Musgraves' country lineage.
  • Following Deeper Well and recent Grammy recognition, Middle of Nowhere on Lost Highway repositions her as a roots-focused artist appealing to genre-agnostic listeners.
