Midland pays homage to Lone Star State
Produced by the trio, the new track includes three-part harmonies, steel guitar and a classic country sound.
The track, also the namesake of their recently announced tour, was written by Midland's Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy along with Josh Osborne and Bryan Simpson.
"'Up in Texas' might be an ode to the place where we formed as a band, but it is meant to be blasted from a dusty old jukebox anywhere on the planet," said Carson.
"It's a Lone Star anthem honoring the people, places and personas that have made the state a lil' bigger than the rest," said Midland's Mark Wystrach.
The new single comes on the heels of their recent release of a cover of Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman."
MIdland has eight shows upcoming in Texas Ffrom February through March.

As if creating a couple of neo-traditional country albums wasn't enough, Midland temporarily reopened North Hollywood's famed Palomino club to record its 10-song live album. This act intentionally links Midland to Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt and all the other luminaries that graced the original Palomino stage. Unlike Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and many other contemporary country acts, though, Midland's music wouldn't have sounded all that out of place during the ...
Midland is more magicians than musicians. When the trio came out with their omnipresent 2017 single "Drinkin' Problem," they pulled off their first trick: a brand-new band to radio who sounded like old friends. Their sound and their look (matador jackets, mullets and high-density mustaches) were pure vintage. So why did it all seem progressive? Some of this is the landscape.
