All American Made

Songwriter Margo Price spent nearly a decade struggling around Nashville only to have her debut, <i>Midwest Farmer’s Daughter</i>, hit the country Top 10. Spirited, sharp-witted (“Do Right By Me”), class-conscious (“Learning to Lose”) and deeply bittersweet, <i>All American Made</i> cements Price’s place alongside artists like Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell—keepers of the flame but never slaves to tradition. “At the end of the day, if the rain it don’t rain”, she sings on the fingerpicked folk of “Heart of America”, “We just do what we can”. It’s a tale of blue-collar hardship drawn from her own life.
