Dave Simonett wrote "The Middle", words and music, for Life Is Good on the Open Road, the eighth album by Minnesota bluegrass outfit Trampled by Turtles, released on May 4, 2018. Nick Tveitbakk engineered and mixed it.
Simonett fronts the band, and on this record his voice does the heavy lifting: Rolling Stone's Luke Levenson heard an album that swings between tender ballads and loose, upbeat romps, with Simonett's strident singing tying it all together.
