When Margo Price released Midwest Farmer’s Daughter in 2016, it landed like a corrective—classic country songs built on grit, intellect, and lived experience, arriving at a moment when the genre was drifting toward polish and crossover. Since then, Price has become one of country music’s most respected voices, admired for her songwriting and for her refusal to separate craft from conviction.
Her latest album, Hard Headed Woman, looks both forward and back, reconnecting with the lineage of country songwriting while pushing against complacency. The record features appearances from Tyler Childers, co-writes with Rodney Crowell, and a Waylon Jennings song encouraged by Jessi Colter herself—signals of the tradition Price now stands inside. At Bearsville Theater, expect a performance shaped by lineage, independence, and a belief that country music still has something urgent to say.
