{"product_id":"midland-stages-clear-red","title":"Midland - Stages [Clear Red]","description":"\u003cp\u003eStages finds Midland coming full circle, a 2026 album that brings the fiddle back to the front and leans hard into classic country. This pressing comes on clear red vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dripping Springs, Texas trio of Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy arrived about a decade ago with a love of throwback country that set them apart on mainstream radio. Their fifth studio album, released on Blue Highway Records, ties a thread back to those beginnings, drawing on more outside songwriters than ever before while keeping their own three-part harmonies at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener and lead single \"Marlboro Man\" comes from the pens of Dean Dillon, Tim Nichols and Josh Thompson, and it fits the band like a broken-in pair of boots. \"Shooting Memories With Tequila\" followed it as a single. \"Up In Texas\" brings in Clint Black, a longtime hero of theirs, and the stripped-back \"Vaquero\" pares things down to acoustic guitars and close harmonies, in the spirit of Marty Robbins' cowboy songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production stays warm and uncluttered, letting the fiddle breathe across all ten songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who misses the sound of a 90s dancehall jukebox, this one hits the spot, and it might be the most purely country record Midland have made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352628142385,"sku":"843930148813","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Midland-Stages_Clear_Red.jpg?v=1793991537","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/midland-stages-clear-red","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
