Margo Price Drafts Sharon Van Etten, Lucius for New Album
Margo Price has drafted Sharon Van Etten, Lucius and former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell for her next album, Strays, which arrives Jan. 13 from Loma Vista Recordings. First single “Change of Heart” is out now. Inspired by “a six-day, mushroom-filled trip” Price and her husband Jeremy Ivey took to South Carolina during the summer of 2020, Strays finds the artist “trying to find what my soul needs. I feel this urgency to keep moving, keep creating. You get stuck in the same patterns of thinking, the same loops of addiction. But there comes a point where you just have to say, ‘I’m going to be here, I’m going to enjoy it, and I’m not going to put so much stock into checking the boxes for everyone else.’ I feel more mature in the way that I write now. I’m on more than...
How Brandi Carlile Made History at the 2019 Newport Folk Festival
(Editor’s note: SPIN contributor Marissa R. Moss’s book, Her Country: How the Women of Country Music Became the Success They Were Never Supposed, is out today. Moss interviewed 70 sources for it, which traces how difficult it is to win when there are so many obstacles to clear. In this exclusive excerpt from Her Country, she outlines how Brandi Carlile engineered yet another historic moment in Newport Folk Festival history by putting together the first-ever female-only set in 2019.) It was a fall of both empty gestures and important strides: the CMA Awards would announce in August that Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire would be taking over hosting duties from Brad Paisley to join Carrie Underwood in “celebrating women” when the show aired in November (though plenty dismissed this as lip servi...
Jeremy Ivey and Margo Price Share the Love on ‘All Kinds Of Blue’
Husband and wife duo Jeremy Ivey and Margo Price have shared a new song titled “All Kinds Of Blue.” With a striking, serious shiner on the cover, Ivey serenades Price in an upbeat, funny love song. And Price is singing it right back to him. “I wrote this very fast,” Ivey said in a statement. “As I remember I was sitting at the kitchen table and I was calling lines out to Margo in the other room. I was just trying to get a chuckle out of her. ‘You know how many times I’ve dreamt of you?’ … ‘No, how many?’ ‘5,200,562.’ It’s basically an ‘I love you’ song.” [embedded content] The video shows a summer-camp-like montage of the couple and friends recording the song in a homey studio. Ivey’s unfortunate shiner (he got it playing basketball) ironically came before what turned out to be a happy, lo...
Margo Price to Release Live From the Other Side EP
This time last year, Margo Price released the great That’s How Rumors Get Started. So, what better way to celebrate the year anniversary of her album than to release a new EP? That’s exactly what the singer-songwriter is planning on doing. Titled Live From the Other Side, the collection is out next Friday, July 16. It will include a new version of “Hey Child,” which features guest vocalists Adia Victoria, Allison Russell, Kam Franklin and Kyshona Armstrong. Price and company performed the new version (in a prerecorded fashion) on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, which you can watch below. [embedded content] In addition to “Hey Child,” other songs on the EP include a cover the Beatles’ “Help,” which also features the four vocalists and a solo version of “That’s How Rumors Get Starte...
Margo Price Launches A Series of Rumors Record Club With ‘Long Live The King’

The first song from it will be “Long Live The King” which will appear as the B-side to the Rumors highlight “Hey Child.” Also part of the first shipment package is “Twinkle Twinkle” b/w Price’s take on Bobbie Gentry’s “He Made a Woman Out of Me” and “Letting Me Down” b/w “I’d Die For You” (Synthphonic).

Over three monthly ...
John Prine’s Newport Folk Festival Set With Margo Price, Roger Waters, Jim James, Justin Vernon and More Coming to Vinyl
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since legendary singer-songwriter John Prine died from COVID complications. But the singer-songwriter continues to get the accolades he deserves, not only by winning two Grammys last week, but also having one of his most memorable shows set to be released. Prine’s set at the 2017 Newport Folk Festival was easily one of the highlights of the weekend. Justin Vernon, Jim James, Margo Price, Nathaniel Rateliff, Lucius, and ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters all joined the singer-songwriter on stage that weekend. Now, you can get it on vinyl. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″...
Exit Interview: Margo Price Reflects on ‘Up and Down’ 2020
Like so many artists, Margo Price had a, well, interesting year. The Nashville singer-songwriter originally planned to release That’s How Rumors Get Started, her third studio album, in May before getting pushed to July. But 2020 had other plans. Her husband, Jeremy Ivey, contracted COVID, a devastating tornado crashed into Nashville and she was raising a newborn. If you slept on Price’s latest project—which made our list of the best albums of 2020 — it saw Price inching more toward Southern rock and away from country. The album featured some of Price’s most intimate songwriting, touching on a rocky point in her romantic relationship when distance became a strain, the struggles of being a touring musician who loves the road but misses her family and motherhood. Nearly six m...
The 30 Best Albums of 2020
After a deluge of canceled or delayed tours, drive-in experiments, Bandcamp Fridays and bedroom livestreams, we’re finally here. Yay? It’s hard to celebrate much of anything in 2020. But one encouraging sign from the music industry has been the number of artists innovating on the fly — figuring out ways to sustain their careers through the madness. And as fans, at least we’ve had new albums to help us process our continuing semi-apocalypse. Having (mercifully) reached the end of this awful year, we have even more perspective on the functionality of a great record. The 30 we’ve assembled here have prompted us to dance, helped us grieve, made us laugh, or even just allowed us to escape into a transportive riff or soundscape. We assume they did the same for the artists themselves. Let us reme...
Neil Young, Margo Price, Dave Matthews and More to Play Farm Aid 2020
Willie Nelson, Margo Price, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and more will be ringing in Farm Aid’s 35th anniversary with a special virtual livestream concert to bring awareness to farmers around the U.S. and the continuous struggles they face, especially during the current pandemic. “This pandemic and so many other challenges have revealed how essential family farmers and ranchers are to the future of our planet,” Farm Aid founder Willie Nelson said in a statement. “Farm Aid 2020 is going to give the whole country a chance to learn about the important work of farmers and how they’re contributing to our well-being, beyond bringing us good food.” Matthews, who is a Farm Aid board member, talked about the importance of the farming community, emphasizing that their voices shoul...
Margo Price Transforms ‘I’d Die for You’ to Offer ‘Hope’
While Margo Price has been known for bringing energy and grit to her songs, she has transformed one of her tracks, “I’d Die for You,” off her latest LP, That’s How Rumors Get Started, into one that will give people “hope” as they tackle the challenges of today’s world. In contrast to the country-rock vibe of the original track, the new version slows things into a power ballad. The lyrics float on top of a light orchestral blend of piano and strings — making the message that Price is trying to convey really sink in. “‘I’d Die For You’ is the most important song on the album to me,” she said in a statement. “It’s about finding hope among our everyday struggles with violence, healthcare and racism. It’s a love song but it’s also a document of the human condition. Even though it was penned a c...
Margo Price Covers ‘WAP’ on The Daily Show
Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Margo Price served up a mellow version of the sexually graphic Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit “WAP” on The Daily Show last night (Aug. 14.) Host Trevor Noah and correspondent Dulcé Sloan invited Price’s performance to further their conversation about the media’s double standards and sexist coverage of presumptive vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, questioning whether a country version of the controversial song would incite the same outrage that the rappers’ original version has. When Price finished her performance, she quipped, “let’s see how they like that one, Dulce.” Noah’s response? “Damn, that was actually amazing. Still graphic, but amazing.” Price released her third album, That’s How Rumors Get St...
Margo Price Dives Into Poolside Performance of ‘Letting Me Down’ on Kimmel
A zoom rendition just wasn’t going to cut it for Margo Price. On her latest Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance, Price instead opted for a full band and — like any summertime get-down — a floatie-filled pool, while sharing her track “Letting Me Down.” The song comes from Price’s latest album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, and last night’s performance was a testament to how talented you have to be to not only arrange a whole set-up around your pool but also to not fall in. Throughout the performance, Price can be seen hanging out on a glider swing and bouncing around the pool as her backing band holds their own. Price’s album was supposed to drop back in May, but she pushed the release to last week after COVID-19 hit. Still, after last week’s drop, the music video for “Letti...
