Diamond Rio – Meet in the Middle (1991)
Directed by: Eric Straton
Meet in the Middle is the debut single by American country band Diamond Rio, released on February 6, 1991, as part of their self-titled debut album. The song tells the story of a couple who, from their youth to marriage, learn the importance of compromise, symbolized by meeting “in the middle” beneath a Georgia pine tree. Notably, it made history by making Diamond Rio the first country music group to have its debut single reach number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Eric Straton, features the band performing and visual narratives that complement the song’s theme of compromise and unity.
