Margo Price Slates New Album For August Release

/by

Margo Price will release her newest record, Hard Headed Woman, on Aug. 29 via Loma Vista Recordings. The album’s lead single, “Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down,” was released alongside the announcement.

The single was inspired by the message that Kris Kristofferson whispered to Sinéad O’Connor when she was booed on stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert. Co-written with Jeremy Ivey, Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell, “Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down” serves as a reminder to always keep fighting for justice and your beliefs.

Reunited with producer Matt Ross-Spang, recorded in the historic RCA Studio A, and featuring duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, Hard Headed Woman marks the first album that Price has made in Nashville, a town she has called home for more than 20 years.

“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did, which is speak up for the common man and woman,” says Price. “But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years, when I am only coming from a place of love. So I made the decision to rebuild everything from the ground up. I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves, in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.”

Price will take the record on the road this summer and fall. Tour information is available here.
