Margo Price

Nearly a decade ago, Margo Price turned Nashville on its head with her debut solo album, “Midwest Farmer’s Daughter,” showcasing an artist completely unafraid to double down not only on herself, but what she’d always loved: classic country songs written from the intellect and the gut, driven by truth-telling and both timeless and urgent all at once. Respected by her peers, praised by critics and beloved by her fans, Price created a lane where independent-minded, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream, and she became an ardent fighter for her beliefs in a genre where the norm is to shut up and sing. A trailblazer and a champion for the craft, Price redefined what it meant to be a modern country artist.

Now she’s back with an exquisite, truly timeless album that reconnects with her roots and pays tribute to the art of the country song, inspired in part by the legends whom she now calls colleagues and friends. “Hard Headed Woman” looks both forward and back – marching forward while staying true to oneself even when the path of less resistance is right there in front of us; and looking back when we need to trim what no longer works while staying connected with where we’re from. It is a promise and a manifesto, a love song to both a city and a genre, and a defiant cry for individuality.
