Margo Price revisits her earliest days in Nashville on new single, Losing Streak: sleeping off a three-day party in the backseat of her ‘91 Ford Explorer, moving to town with a handful of half-finished songs, spending two weeks in the same clothes on the brink of a mental meltdown, lost and slipping low, wondering why she left home and came down here at all. Whirling in with an organ and a world-worn sense of defiance, this resilient country rocker offers proof that while our worst times don’t define us, they are always part of who we are.
“Losing Streak tells the story of my early years coming up in Nashville. It is a coming-of-age story inspired by struggle, substances and the search for the perfect song. It was co-written with my husband and songwriting partner, Jeremy Ivey.”

Losing Streak marks the latest preview of Margo Price’s forthcoming album, Hard Headed Woman, a hell-bent collection of country music out August 29, reconnecting Margo Price with her roots, and further redefining what it means to be a modern outlaw. Reunited with producer Matt Ross-Spang (Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, All American Made), and recorded in the historic RCA Studio A, Hard Headed Woman is the first album Price has made in Nashville, a town she has called home for more than 20 years, and vitally helped to transform, creating a lane where independent and insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream. Like her lauded memoir, Maybe We’ll Make It, due out on paperback September 2, Losing Streak recounts her turbulent journey to the city and into the scene, while the rest of Hard Headed Woman traces her battle since – from dive bars to tour buses, through parenthood and marriage, scrutiny and sacrifice in a town that prizes uniformity and the bottom line.
