Margo Price shares cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Maggie’s Farm’
Margo Price has recently made waves with her brand new studio recording of Bob Dylan’s classic track, “Maggie’s Farm.” This release comes after Price’s powerful performances at Farm Aid with Billy Strings and Jesse Welles and the Newport Folk Festival with John C. Reilly. Although the song first appeared 60 years ago on Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home album, Price’s rendition breathes new life into the timeless track, infusing it with a current, defiant edge.
In this new recording, Price showcases her vocal prowess, delivering a raw and captivating performance that showcases her range while her band complements her with a dynamic mix of electric guitar riffs, pedal steel, harmonica solos, and a touch of country rock flavor. The result is a high-energy, barn-burning rendition of “Maggie’s Farm” that is sure to leave a lasting impact on listeners.
Following the success of her previous album, Hard Headed Woman – hailed as one of “the year’s defining country albums,” Price continues to push the boundaries of country music with her blend of independent spirit and mainstream appeal. The album reflects Price’s unwavering commitment to staying true to her roots while exploring new territories in her musical journey. Collaborating once again with producer Matt Ross-Spang, Price recorded Hard Headed Woman in the iconic RCA Studio A, creating an album that showcases her wisdom, humor, resilience, and vulnerability.
Hard Headed Woman features a slew of collaborations, including duets with Tyler Childers and Jesse Welles, as well as contributions from notable artists like Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell. The album traces Price’s evolution from gritty dive bars to the grand stages of tour buses, navigating the challenges of parenthood, marriage, scrutiny, and sacrifice along the way. With a blend of classic country sound and Price’s unique artistic vision, Hard Headed Woman is a testament to her unapologetic approach to music – breaking rules, honoring traditions, and wearing its heart on its sleeve.
Recently, Margo Price has been busy promoting her new album, releasing a music video for “Love Me Like You Used To Do” featuring Tyler Childers. She also delivered a powerful performance of “Don’t Let The Bastards Get You Down” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! before the show was abruptly pulled off the air, showcasing her resilience in the face of adversity.
With her latest release of “Maggie’s Farm” and the success of Hard Headed Woman, Margo Price continues to cement her status as a trailblazer in the world of country music. Her unique blend of authenticity, innovation, and unwavering spirit sets her apart in an industry that often values conformity over creativity. As Price’s journey unfolds, one thing is clear – her music will always be a reflection of her true self, unbound by rules but rooted in tradition, with a fierce spirit driving her forward.
