Summer 2025 just got a whole lot bolder. Grammy-nominated country trailblazer Margo Price is back with an unapologetic roar, announcing her upcoming album Hard Headed Woman, dropping August 29 via Loma Vista. With it comes a fiery lead single, “Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down”, complete with a visually striking music video that sets the tone for what may be her most personal and powerful work yet.
The album not only marks a sonic return to her roots with longtime producer Matt Ross-Spang but also a spiritual revival—one that feels raw, rebellious, and richly self-aware. It follows her 2023 companion records Strays and Strays II, yet Hard Headed Woman emerges from the ashes of past struggle, lit with new fire.
A Loud Stand in a Quiet World 💥
Margo Price has never been one to stay silent. Her artistry has always blended politics with poetry, and love with rebellion. But this time around, she’s not just speaking truth—she’s yelling it from the mountaintop.
“I always hope to do like Johnny Cash did,” says Price, “which is speak up for the common man and woman… I hope this album inspires people to be fearless and take chances.”
Her new single, Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down, is an anthem for every soul who's ever been silenced, mocked, or underestimated. It arrives with a cinematic video that captures Price in her most defiant form—gritty, glamorous, and totally unleashed.
Star-Studded Duets and Unfiltered Emotion 🎤✨
Hard Headed Woman features a stellar lineup of collaborators. Americana legend Tyler Childers joins her on “Love Me Like You Used to Do,” a smoldering duet filled with longing and heartache. Rising artist Jesse Welles lends his voice to “Don’t Wake Up,” a haunting ballad about isolation and waking truths.
This album feels like a journey through Price’s psyche—her battles, her victories, and her determination to live authentically, no matter the cost. With tracks like “I Just Don’t Give a Damn,” “Wild at Heart,” and “Losing Streak,” she blends outlaw country with rock ‘n’ roll spirit, reminding us why she's one of the most vital voices in modern Americana.
