“I'm going to 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 with “Too Stoned to Cry,” a stunning ballad featuring Billy Strings.
The song features the musicians swapping lines, backed by Ross Pahl’s amazing pedal steel. Price wrote on Substack, “I want to send a special thank you to everyone who played on this song – it truly feels like a return to country music that feeds my soul. Billy has persevered so much 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 vocalist. His voice and performance on this track absolutely blew me away and shows that he can sing and play country music with the best of them.”
“When I first came on the scene, I was a country, stubborn, whiskey-drinking, dislike-anything, angry-at-the-establishment kind of person. All of that still holds true, except for the whiskey-drinking part. If anything, now that I’ve lived inside the establishment for a while, I’m even more angry. I’ve let some people go, and I’m still fighting with others to allow myself to be myself, but I know that I’m going to make this next record the way I want to, no matter what it takes.”
Price also revealed that she is currently working on a new album, and will be performing new tracks at this year's Farm Aid Festival on September 21. “In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this sad country song,” she wrote.
Price recently recorded a cover of Tom Petty's “Ways to Be Wicked” with Heartbreaker Mike Campbell, for the group Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom PettY. Last year, the price was issued. The strayany Rolling Stone It was included on their list of the best country and American albums of 2023.

I want to be honest with people.”
