Style and influences[edit]
Rolling Stone said that "the Texas-based band blend their voices to produce country music that recalls a mix of George Strait, Urban Cowboy and Seventies yacht rock."[29] Billboard describes the band's sound as "a definite George Strait '80s New Traditionalist feel to it, combined with the rich California harmonies that made The Eagles legendary."[30] Midland also is known for their unique dressing style, very similar to the original "Nudie suits" designed by Nudie Cohn.[31] Vogue called Midland both heartthrobs and fashion risk takers."[32]
