“I’m gonna make this next record the way I want to make it, no matter what it takes,” Price says

Margo Price marks her return to country music on “Too Stoned to Cry,” a stunning ballad featuring Billy Strings.

The track features the two musicians trading lines, supported by Russ Pahl’s gorgeous pedal steel. On her Substack, Price wrote, “I’d like to send out a special thanks to everyone who played on this song — it truly feels like a homecoming back to the country music that feeds my soul. Billy has persevered a lot in his short life and his story and dedication to the craft inspires me deeply. I may be biased but I think this song shows how multi-talented Billy is as a player and a vocalist. His voice and delivery on this track absolutely blew me away and showcase his ability to sing and play country music with the best of them.”

She added: “When I first came on the scene, I was a countryfied, hard-headed, whiskey-drinkin’ nobody who was pissed off at the establishment. All of that’s still true, except for the whiskey drinkin’ part. If anything, now that I’ve lived for a while inside of the establishment, I’m even more pissed off. I’ve let some people go, I’m still fighting with others to let me be myself, but I know, I’m gonna make this next record the way I want to make it, no matter what it takes.”

Price also revealed that she’s currently working on a new album, and will be performing new tracks at this year’s Farm Aid on Sept. 21. “In the meanwhile,” she wrote, “I hope you enjoy this sad ass country song.”

Price recently recorded a cover of Tom Petty’s “Ways to Be Wicked” with Heartbreaker Mike Campbell, for the collection Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty. Last year, Price released Strays, which Rolling Stone included on their list of the Best Country and Americana Albums of 2023. It arrived months after her excellent memoir, Maybe We’ll Make It. “I’m not proud of all of it,” she told us of her life story. “But the way I figure, we’re all going to die. I want to be real with people.”
