"It's been a lot easier for me to advocate for myself,"
"It's hard to make boundaries sometimes. People get thrown off when you haven't had boundaries and all of a sudden you're like, 'No, I'm having boundaries,'"
"All these songs feel very much like a taking back of who I am,"
"All the cocaine in existence couldn't keep your nose out of my business."
Margo Price learned to set boundaries and advocate for herself while making her fifth album, Hard Headed Woman. The record channels classic country with covers of George Jones and Waylon Jennings, guest appearances from Jesse Welles and Tyler Childers, and cowrites with Rodney Crowell. Price's singing sounds reinvigorated and more confident across the tracks. Lead single "Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down" blends beer-hall energy and sharp one-liners, including a lyric about cocaine and nosiness. The album reflects a taking back of identity and artistic control, paired with an outspoken, uncompromising persona.
