With all the chest-thumping going on in Nashville today, where bluster and swagger have replaced heart and soul, you half expect some of country music's male stars to be sporting bruises. Which is what makes Midland, a trio of friends based in Dripping Springs, Texas, so undeniably refreshing. Made up of singer Mark Wystrach, lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy, Midland is the embodiment of Seventies California country, all smooth Eagles harmonies and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Their songs are intoxicating, sung with the twang of George Strait. And it's impossible to resist. Now, after endearing themselves to fans with the hit radio single "Drinkin' Problem" and a self-titled EP, Midland unveil their full-length debut, On the Rocks (Big Machine Records). A collection of 13 tracks all written or co-written by Midland – the guys took their name from a Dwight Yoakam song – On the Rocks excels at setting a mood, transporting the listener to another place and time. It's an album made for wide-open skies, endless deserts and wondering where the road is going to take you next. Midland hearken back to a time when an artist's personal style – colorful suits, tailored denim and well-worn hats – dovetailed with the music. And they tip their hats to other groundbreaking artists throughout On the Rocks. The kick-back and get-high ode" Altitude Adjustment" name-checks John Denver, the majestic "Nothin' New Under the Neon" sounds like vintage Eddie Rabbit, and the glorious "At Least You Cried" channels Dwight Yoakam. By album's end, the band 2 returns to the Eagles, recalling their famous intro to"Seven Bridges Road," with the closing "Somewhere on the Wind." Whether they intended it or not, Midland are filling a void in country, with songs that run the gamut from lush Urban Cowboy anthems to loose campfire sing-alongs. Putting their own spin on a classic sound, they're making something old relevant again. With On the Rocks, Midland have captured a sound decades in the making that is just right for today.
