Margo Price has released a new live album, Perfectly Imperfect at The Ryman, which documents her sold-out three-night run at the iconic Nashville, TN venue in 2018. The album comes after Price announced back in March she would delay the May 8th release of her Sturgill Simpson-produced studio album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

“I am so excited that we are releasing it today,” said Price in a press release. “The recordings are rough and the performances are raw, but there was a magic there and the band was on fire. We played unreleased songs, alternative album versions and had lots of special guests. I hope it moves you.”
The 11-track album features collaborations with Emmylou Harris on Margo’s original, “Wild Women”, Sturgill Simpson on a rendition of Rodney Crowell‘s “Ain’t Livin Long Like This”, and Jack White on a duet of the rare White Stripes track, “Honey We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap”. Additionally, Perfectly Imperfect at The Ryman also features a “funk version” of Price’s Midwest Farmer’s Daughter track, “Weekender”, and a take on the title track of her 2017 LP, All American Made.
Perfectly Imperfect at The Ryman is available now via Bandcamp. Preview the album below, scroll down for the full tracklist and credits, and purchase it for $10, here. All proceeds will benefit the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
