Margo Price is a 42-year-old mother of two who dropped out of college and moved to Nashville, becoming an internationally known singer-songwriter with six albums. The sixth album, Hard Headed Woman, returns to country and folk roots and emphasizes storytelling and lyrics with stripped-back arrangements. Price has experienced deep loss, addiction, and long-term grief over a child's death, and now lives alcohol-free while engaging in political activism. The song "Nowhere is Where" was co-written with husband Jeremy Ivey and Morgan Nagler and reflects on Price's origins. Earlier albums experimented with different sonic territory that she explored without regret.
It definitely feels like home to me. I've really tried to center the storytelling and the lyrics in a big way. These last couple albums were maybe exploring some different sonic territory that I had not embarked upon, and I had so much fun doing it and don't have any regrets. But I just wanted to get back to a place where I could pick up the guitar and - the whole song's there.
You don't need a lot of extra drums or synths or any of that. That's always been appealing to me. Just the folk and country storytelling aspects of songwriting. There's a song that is called "Nowhere is Where," and it was written with my husband Jeremy Ivey and another friend who's a songwriter, Morgan Nagler. It's a piece about where I come from.
