Margo Price has gathered some of country music’s most respected names for her new album Hard Headed Woman, out now via Loma Vista Recordings. The record features duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, contributions from Rodney Crowell and Kris Kristofferson, and even a Waylon Jennings song that his widow, Jessi Colter, personally encouraged Price to record.
Check out ‘Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down’:

Holding On to Nothing
The album, produced by longtime collaborator Matt Ross-Spang at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A, is Price’s first to be recorded in Music City, the town she has called home for over two decades. Price describes the collection as a return to her roots, combining sharp songwriting with the outlaw spirit that has marked her career.
Among the highlights, Childers joins Price on a duet that pushes both singers into raw, urgent territory. Jesse Welles appears on “Don’t Wake Me Up,” which pays homage to Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues with its video nod to the original. Kristofferson and Crowell contribute their songwriting craft, connecting Price directly with the outlaw country tradition that inspired her beginnings. And in one of the album’s most poignant moments, Price takes on an unreleased Waylon Jennings song, adding her own voice to the legacy of an artist who defined independence in country music.
Since her 2016 breakthrough Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, Price has become a leading voice in modern Americana and alternative country. Her work has earned Grammy nominations, a place on the Farm Aid Board of Directors—the first woman to ever hold the position—and a reputation as one of the genre’s most outspoken artists.
From her breakout single “Hurtin’ (On the Bottle)” to acclaimed albums like All American Made and That’s How Rumors Get Started, Price has continuously carved a space for herself outside the Nashville mainstream. Along the way she has collaborated with Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, and now, on Hard Headed Woman, an even deeper set of country elders and contemporaries.
To launch the album, Price played a midnight set at Nashville’s Grimey’s before appearing at the Grand Ole Opry in one of Loretta Lynn’s gowns, paying tribute to one of her greatest influences.
She now heads out on her Wild At Heart Tour, beginning with festival appearances and Farm Aid’s 40th anniversary in September before two dozen headline shows across North America. The trek includes her return to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on November 20, as well as stops at Los Angeles’ GRAMMY Museum, Red Rocks, and a rooftop concert in LA.
