New sealed copy. Indie record store exclusive limited edition on red velvet coloured vinyl.
Hard Headed Woman marks Margo Price’s fifth studio album and a conscious return to her country roots. Recorded at the legendary RCA Studio A in Nashville with producer Matt Ross-Spang, the album reunites Price with the collaborator behind her first two records. Across twelve tracks, the project features ten original songs co-written by Price, along with two covers: Steven Knudson’s “Love Me Like You Used to Do” and Waylon Jennings’ “Kissing You Goodbye.”
The album finds Price stepping away from the Americana and psychedelic sounds of her previous work and leaning back into a classic country sensibility. Although her longtime band the Price Tags played on the record, Price assembled a new touring band that better reflects the melodic direction of this material. The title Hard Headed Woman was inspired by Price’s resolve to speak out against injustice and the ongoing erosion of women’s rights. As she explains, “Singing these songs, and sometimes being the squeaky wheel saying, ‘This is not right,’ is hard, because people do not like women.”
The lead single, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down,” was released alongside the album’s announcement. Co-written with Jeremy Ivey and Rodney Crowell, and featuring a posthumous credit to Kris Kristofferson, the song was initially written for an unmade film and inspired by Sinéad O’Connor’s infamous 1992 appearance at Madison Square Garden. Its title is also a nod to The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.
A second single, “Losing Streak,” followed in August and recounts Price’s early years in Nashville. Co-written with Ivey, the track reflects on struggle, substance use, and the search for artistic voice.
To support the album, Price is touring the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States from June through October 2025, backed by her newly formed live band.
