The Middle is on her 17 track third album Roadrunner produced by Oran Thornton with steel-guitar/multi-instrumentalist Russ Pahl, Vince Gill and Cordero – co-writers include Angaleena Presley, Natalie Hemby, and Courtney Patton.
“The version of me depicted in the video is much closer to what I’m like onstage, where there’s real emotion and truth but also humour and a tendency to poke fun,” Kaitlin revealed.
“It’s all those different versions of me at once. In making this music video I wanted to show the highs and lows and chaotic lifestyle that I love so much.”
