Margo Price is set to return with a brand new album. It’s called Hard Headed Woman and arrives August 29th via Loma Vista Recordings. To accompany the record’s announcement, the country singer-songwriter also shared the new song “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down.” Stream it below.
The new set follows Price’s celebrated 2023 release Strays and finds the artist reuniting with producer Matt Ross-Spang. Featuring duets with the likes of Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, Hard Headed Woman serves as the first full-length album Price cut in Nashville, where she’s resided for over 20 years. As a result, she bills the project as “a manifesto, a tribute to both a city and a genre, a defiant cry for individuality, and a deep exploration of America.”
“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did, which is speak up for the common man and woman,” Price said in a statement. “But there have been so many threats and anger and vitriol over the years, when I am only coming from a place of love. So I made the decision to rebuild everything from the ground up. I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances and just be unabashedly themselves, in a culture that tries as hard as it can to beat us into all being the same.”
Basking in classic honky-tonk sounds, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down” is a catchy rallying cry to, well, resist the bullshit of “tone deaf sons of bitches.” The music video matches the energy, with shots of an audience throwing bottles at Price as she performs behind a chain link fence and Looney Tunes-esque, self-shooting guns. Watch the full music video below.
To support the new album, Price has a slew of tour dates set for the rest of the year, including stops with Mumford & Sons and appearances at festivals like Newport Folk Festival, Farm Aid, and Outlaw Country Cruise. Check out all of Margo Price’s 2025 tour dates below and pick up tickets here.
Then, revisit our 2023 conversation with Price, where she chats about her mushroom-enhanced trip to the mountains and more.
