Since she first captured country music\u2019s attention with her debut album, Midwest Farmer\u2019s Daughter,<\/em> nearly a decade ago, Margo Price has been one of the genre\u2019s most prolific songwriters, with a passionate, independent spirit that channels the outlaw legends of the past. With this in mind, after a few albums that strayed from her roots, Price makes her return to a more country sound on Hard Headed Woman<\/em>. She says she hopes the album \u201cinspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves,\u201d and sticks to that promise. <\/p>\n Price reunites with producer Matt Ross-Spang, who helmed her first two albums, and she doesn\u2019t leave a moment wasted. The album is tight and fiery, as she ruminates on the state of the world. As she sings on \u201cDon\u2019t Wake Me Up,\u201d a song that tips its cap to Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cSubterranean Homesick Blues\u201d and features new-look protest singer Jesse Welles, \u201cSooner or later we\u2019ll all be dead, I\u2019d rather be living it up, up in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n First single \u201cDon\u2019t Let the Bastards Get You Down\u201d is a throwback country rocker cowritten, like many of the tracks on the album, with her husband, Jeremy Ivey, along with outlaw legends Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell. It\u2019s a rallying cry urging people to keep fighting the good fight. That theme continues on the Pretenders-with-horns track \u201cI Just Don\u2019t Give a Damn,\u201d and the autobiographical \u201cLosing Streak,\u201d where she looks back at her personal struggles when she first arrived in Nashville.<\/p>\n Despite its tone of lyrical defiance, Hard Headed<\/em> Woman <\/em>has its tender moments. Tyler Childers trades vocals with Price on the twangy ballad \u201cLove Me Like You Used To Do.\u201d And she sings about longing for a lover, circumstances be damned, on the pedal-steel driven \u201cClose to You,\u201d delivering the indelible image, \u201cWe talked about heaven\/We talked about hell\/We played the jukebox while democracy fell.\u201d<\/p>\n Throughout her career, Price has consistently refused to compromise on her principles. Hard Headed Woman <\/em>is no different and further adds to a catalog that unapologetically takes on the status quo.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
