The latest album from Margo Price, Hard Headed Woman, is unapologetically bold.
Margo Price is releasing her fifth album, Hard Headed Woman, on August 29, and it’s not here to play nice. Recorded at RCA Studio A with producer Matt Ross-Spang, this project is less of a tribute and more of a backhanded thank-you note to Nashville’s country scene.<br><br>It leans into tradition just enough to twist it. With sharp lyrics, rough edges, and no apologies, the album sounds like it was written in a dive bar and recorded with the amps turned up just a little too high.

Signed copies and zero fluff
For fans who like their music served with a side of rebellion, the preorder comes with signed copies in CD and vinyl formats. And no, the signatures aren’t printed; these are the real deal. There’s also a special bonus track with Billy Strings included on the CD version. It’s limited to two per person, which feels fair. After all, hoarding outlaw country is probably a federal offence by now.
Friends, grit, and middle fingers
The album features duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, but this isn’t your usual cosy sing-along. These songs are soaked in sweat, steel guitar, and real life. The lead track, "Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down," takes inspiration from Sinéad O’Connor’s infamous booing incident at Madison Square Garden. Price channels that moment into a song that feels like a slap and a hug at the same time.
Jesse Welles
Jesse Wells , known professionally as Jesse Welles, or simply Welles, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He released his debut studio album, Red Trees and White Trashes in 2018.
She’s hitting the road
This summer, Price will take Hard Headed Woman on tour. From major festivals to smaller venues, she’s bringing her new band, her Gibson J-45, and a setlist that doesn’t pull punches. Whether you’re front row or leaning on the back rail, expect the kind of performance that sticks with you, like whiskey or bad advice.
One thing’s clear
Hard Headed Woman isn’t just another country album. It’s a reminder that good trouble still matters. And if you’ve ever been called difficult, this one’s for you.<br><br>Price isn’t trying to fit in; she’s too busy kicking the edges out. These songs don’t ask for approval; they make space for defiance, heartbreak, and standing your ground even when it’s easier to stay quiet. It’s a record for people who speak up when they’re told to hush, who keep going after being knocked down, and who don’t mind ruffling a few feathers on the way out.
